[Paranoid_Android]

Zelda and FF music are probably my favorites.

 

[F8X]

Sky Chase Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Sonic has had great music hasn't he.

I may get ridiculed for this but Sonic Adventure 2 had fantastic music.

Can't forget OoT, and Megaman(nes)

 

[Monk/Honkey/Banana]

Best video game music....

the songs from Animal Crossing....ALL OF THEM...I'm serious

 

[FireBomb]

F8X -Don't worry, I'm fond of Sonic as well. LIVE AND LEARN!

Banana -Heck yeah, man, K.K. Slider ftw! My favorite songs from him is K.K. Fusion and K.K. Jazz. And I just happen to like the 3:00pm music.

 

[D.A.N.]

Final Fantasy XII, Okami, and Final Fantasy IX have amazing musical scores.

For licensed music, I'd go with SSX 3 no doubt.

 

[Monk/Honkey/Banana]

For licensed music, I'd go with SSX 3 no doubt.

I agree SSX 3 and On tour both really great licensed music

 

[some random freak]

jolly roger bay from mario 64

chaos 6 and the mytic ruins from sonic adventure

sky rail and green forest from sonic adventure 2

zone 2 act 2 of sonic advance 3

and a few more.

 

[Artistry]

Probably not many of you would know about this but I like a lot of the music from Cool Boarders 2 for PlayStation. It's got a lot of rock. And also Devil May Cry 3 has some cool songs and ambience.

 

[Meleeruler]

I found the music for Starfox 64 very good.

 

[Dokuro]

anything from Bomberman 64: The Second Attack. the music in that game is godly.

 

[saberhof]

Megaman [the classics], Sonic, Street fighter[the techno stuff], Mario games.

 

[FireBomb]

If there's ever any part of a game that I like music, it's mostly the Boss battles. Mostly all the awesomes games manage to capture the intensity of a fight, whether it be on the bow of a flying ship, in an abyss of infinite darkness, in the depths of a cavern of lava, or in the celestial glimmer of a winter wonderland.

Baten Kaitos has some great VIDEO GAME music, but other games like Madden, SSX or THPS have some great band music. (Totally different category)

 

[.kR0]

Okami, Lufia II, FFXII, Chrono Trigger and Bahamut Lagoon had a lot of good music.

 

[REØ]

The song from Mortal kombat just owns, I love them all!

 

[Marthmaster92]

These are some of my favourites. This was from my old site. (It's REALLY old.) The dr mario ones aren't really my favourites. and the thousand arms one is only on there because I thought it was the actual song with the vocals from the soundtrack. anybody ever heard that song? It's really good, in japanese, but still good.

 

[NG7]

Katamari Damacy!

 

[Blight]

Super Mario Land 2, ending music from the credits. Win

 

[some random freak]

a few more i remember

koopaseum and thwomp volcano from partners in time
the isle delfino remix of the mario bros theme
most of the music from the playstaion game medievil (you may not have heard of it)
and the music from mario land 2

 

[Rabiteman]

There's so much that I love it's absolutely impossible for me to pick one song...Or one game for that matter. But here's a few...hundred...heh heh:

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Secret of Mana
Seiken Densetsu 3
Megamans 2,3, 5, and 6(not X)
Final Fantasies 4, 6
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Super Mario 64
Super Mario Bros. 3
LoZ: Ocarina of Time
LoZ: Majora's Mask
Tales of Symphonia
Tales of Phantasia
Bomberman 64
Bomberman 64: The Second Attack
Kirby Super Star
Kirby Air Ride
Mario Kart 64
Paper Mario
Banjo-Kazooie
Golden Sun
Golden Sun: The Lost Age
Super Smash Bros. Melee

All of those in this list have sound tracks that I have, or could listen to for hours on end and I like most of the songs on them.

 

[crismas]

I'm such a gaming music nerd, most of my playlist is gaming music.

Favorites:

Shadow of the Colossus (truly one of the most beautiful soundtracks ever composed)
Castlevania: SOTN
Final Fantasy VI & VII
Mega Man X
Zelda: LttP & WW

Just some of them right now but those are the first OST's I think of.

 

[A-Laon]

So much ****ing Nintendo!

Unreal Tournament 2004 and Unreal Championship 2 make up well over half my playlist. I am a die-hard fan of Kevin Riepl's synthensized symphonic rock. Hell, the Arctic Stronghold theme from UT2004 is still to this day my undisputed favorite song, video game or otherwise, of all time.

 

[FireBomb]

You guys should also listen to the battle music in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. It's so cool and funky, and it also comes free with 2 dancing Italians.

 

[NG7]

Espionage games tend to have awesome music.

MGS and Hitman for example.

I agree A-Laon Unreal Tournament music is funky. Even the original Unreal Tournament.

But come on. NO KATAMARI LOVERS!?!?!?

 

[FireBomb]

I love Katamari...

Has anyone been to vgmusic.com? It has almost all the music from all of your favorite games and more. But they're MIDI's, so they aren't of the highest quality. I still find it pretty awsome.

 

[NG7]

The best source of Video Game Music i know is definitely the VGM hub.

Here are some instructions on how to get in: http://www.gamemp3s.net/help/dc/

 

[0dessa]

i seriously have alot to name... O.O... ridge racer 4,.. metal gear series,.. ff series, ... castlevania series,.. old megaman songs,xenogears, zelda music, lunar songs, soul blade/edge OST as grat...

btw, another cool place to get songs(but remixed)..dunno if anyone else said it.. but www.ocremix.org wonderful stuff

 

[FireBomb]

Yeah ocremix is the best bunch of remix's you'll ever find! I downloaded "Mertroid Prime: Just a Little More" on the site, and it's simply beautiful.

 

[plasmawisp6633]

SNES and N64 were the houses of good game music. Anything from Donkey Kong Country 2, Donkey Kong Country 3, Earthbound, Super Mario RPG, and Super Mario 64 (trust me there are plenty others too) gets two thumbs up in my book.

As for stuff off of www.ocremix.org:

Super Mario Bros 2 remix
Seeking Heat (Super Mario RPG)
Forest Birdcussion (Donkey Kong Country 2)
And best of all, Darkworld Jazz (Link to the Past)

 

[Eternal Smasher]

I know of another awesome place to get video game music. Galbadia Hotel. Good stuff.

On that note, I like music from the following:

Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie
Donkey Kong series (the Rare ones)
Baten Kaitos
The early Spyro games (1,2,3)
Viewtiful Joe
Sonic games (most of them, specifically 1, 2, and 3)
Mario games (specifically 2, 3, World, and Kart)
Devil May Cry 3
Super Monkey Ball 2
Ocarina of Time
SSBM
Diddy Kong Racing
Street Fighter III
Yoshi's Island/Story
Metroid Prime
F-Zero series

There's more, but...yeah.

 

[Eor]

I loved the music from World of Warcraft. It has the most memories for me.

 

[Funcow]

Midis are the most useful for me since they are small in size so I use them in games I make
And, if the sequencer is skilled, they can be pretty good quality (Since music on a lot of systems is in MIDI format)
