I sort of agree with Brawlmatt202: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door! had some excellent tracks. Rogueport had an interesting melody, the Battle with Lord Crump had catchy sound effects, and
Glitzville

Lord Crump's battle theme was my favorite out of all the tunes!

Incidentally, Paper Mario: The Thousnad-Year Door won the Nintendo Power award for best music once, though the guys at Nintendo Power though FF: Crystal Chronicales had better music.

DooM and Final Fantasy 7 (Aries music, Boss battle, Jenova). But FF is Not Even DooM Music.

I loved some Gradius III (For the SNES) music. Forgot which songs though. I also Loved Chrono Trigger music (can't get enough of corridors of time). Star Fox for the SNES had some great music as well! So did Star Fox 2 (for emulators only). Battle Toads and Double dragon (For the SNES) had some awesome music on the first level. Street Fighter II music also owns (Feilongs stage, Guiles stage, and Kens stage!). Every megamanX has had a great soundtrack so far (except for 7, didn't like that one too much). I loved the fight music on Mario RPG for the SNES I loved some music from Killer Instinct as well. And Shining Force had some really epic music as well!

oh man i can go on and on and on with this subject!

Gah, it's OK. All Hail Shadow is better. (IMHO)

Live And Learn>>>SA2B or SA2<<<<#3

What I'm Made of>>Sonic Heroes<<<#4

Open Your Heart>>SA1 or SA Directers Cut<#6
Can't disagree with you on those, but What I'm Made of is so-so. Strategy from SA2, Seaside Hill from Heroes, and Team Dark from Heroes are all interesting tracks.

Hyrule Field (Main Theme) from Twilight Princess is a great song.

What about Kirby 64? (I forgot what its called, was it crystal shards?) The boss battle music is good. :)

And Timesplitters 2 & 3.

Kirby 64 rocked! The only problem was it didn't include Dedede's theme, but it did include the Gourmet Race tune, which I liked.

1) Zelda theme from the Twilight Princess Trailer, must be one of the best version ever
2) Kokiri Woods, the sounds gave such a happy and great feeling when first starting the game
3) Starfox Theme, just epic, nice build up, and good for drama scenes (like the Zelda theme, when it plays, either **** hits the fan, or you've won :p )
4) Skies of Arcadia - Combat on Deck, that DnB song never got old the whole game.
5) Battle music of Tales of Symphonia, pumped up and straight to the point.

Nearly as good:
Yoshi's island - Touch fuzzy, get dizzy....Dinosaurs on crack, gotta love it
Any other Yoshi song
Mario songs
Etc...I like most of the vide game music, Elder scrolls does nice music too, but too linear for me.

If a video game had Master of Puppets on it (besides guitar here) that would be the greatest game music ever.

Zelda games have the best music IMO. Ocarina of Time has my favorite soundtrack. Also Wind Waker's soundtrack was good. Specifically the Hyrule Castle theme... The bassoon plays the melody. ^_^

I also love the Melee soundtrack... A lot of the themes are orchestrated, and full orchestras are FTW!

ONE of my favorites is the first level's song that's played in Megaman X3, before choosing any boss stages.

The Megaman series has the best videogame music of all time. The top 3 MegaMan games that come to mind for the best music are Megaman 2, Megaman X, and Megaman X4.

Mario Strikers Charged.

And that Halo 2 guitar thing.
That Halo 2 guitar thing you're thinking of is the MJOLNIR Mix.

Some other music includes:
All MegaMan and Sonic Songs! (mainly Dr. Wily Stages 1 & 2 from MM2)
Aeris' Theme (Final Fantasy VII)
One-Winged Angel (Final Fantasy VII)
Liberi Fatali (Final Fantasy VIII)
Chrono Trigger Boss Theme

I've heard music from Mega Man II. My favorite is the first level in Dr. Wily's castle.

Do you like "The Minibosses"? Their Megaman 2 Mix is INCREDIBLE!
I have never heard a Better Bubbleman - infact I forward to 2:30 just to hear it.
Found a Live Version: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=eOokbBMKzqE
That stuff is OK, but I found a better remix of ALL the Megaman 2 music. This guy named Cry0genik did a killer guitar remix of the entire soundtrack (including bass and drums). Listen to the samples on these youtube videos:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=5holgw14HQo

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Zvgk10YlRtg&mode=related&search=

I loved the music so much I ended up emailing him about purchasing his music. He sold me the CD for 20 bucks via Paypal. Send him a PM via Youtube.

Bubbleman remix is on the second video within the first minute. It's awesome stuff. Best 20 bucks I spent in a long time.

HOLY F**K!! This is incredible! I love what he did with Dr Wily's Castle Theme - INSANE Bubbleman, and that INTRO! <3 OMG. Freaking unbelievable, thanks for bringing this to my attention.
