These arn't as high on my pedestal, but they did pop into my head:

Bonk's Revenge- Snowy Mountain (starts at 5:37)

Super Mario Galaxy- The Center of the Universe

Kid Icarus- Underworld Theme

Good stuff... I think playing video games when I was younger preped me for being a music-freak.

edit: I forgot this little gem

yes, the music is awesome

[Arran]

Damn Kid Icarus had an amazing theme. Too bad the game is about the hardest game ever made. It took me 3 weeks to get to level 2.

My favourites;

Akira Yamaoka - Silent Hill 2 OST.
Zone of The Enders 2 sports some great techno. King Of Fighters 98 is probably the best soundtrack to a fighting game, ever.

yeah, i remeraber a while ago i was playing StarFox 64 and Pink Floyd's Echoes came on. quite the ride.

Kid Icarus is an awesome game but indeed quite hard. Thank god for passworRAB.

Good call on Bonk's Revenge, that's a great game from a pretty underrated series. I definitely recommend getting a TurboGrafx16 emulator and checking that game out among others.

Mario Galaxy had a superb soundtrack as did Brawl and Twilight princess. I still think Nintendo are top of the tier in soundtracks. Most of the PS3/360 games I've played don't really make soundtracks an important part of the gaming experience and a lot of it is just background music that you wouldn't really want to listen to on it's own.

Picking a favorite soundtrack is tough but I'm especially fond of the Sega Genesis soundtracks. Some of my favorites.

Everyone knows this one.

Very jazzy techno stuff. This might be my favorite soundtrack ever.

Same guy who did the Streets of Rage music, a little jazz and funk mixed with techno and a very oriental vibe to it as well.

F*cking epic.

This was back when Sonic Team games had fantastic music and not nu metal banRAB and Akon.

Castlevania has a rep for awesome soundtracks overall.

It just adRAB more awesomeness to an already awesome game.

We Love Katamari has one of the best Video Game soundtracks I own.

[Agent Krug]

i really like the sonic cd soundtrack. haven't listened to the japanese version though

[nezsem]

You just said it was.

I'm more of a genre nazi when it comes to video games than with music and I think the Mario RPG series falls comfortably under the action RPG category, with a special emphasis on platforming elements even if the games aren't technically platformers.

But yeah platforming > turn based battles for me.

Hearing this song makes me want to slam on a desk and present irrefutable evidence:

The entire series has great music, really.
