What's your favorite video game music?

It's probably just a sign of fanboyism, but I'm crazy about all Nintendo music. Be it Pokemon, Mother, Mario, Kirby, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid, or even Wario Ware, I love it all. And then we have the Smash Bros. remixes and arrangements of everything that make me even happier. I like a lot of what's in some of the Sonic games as well, and Okami has a spectacular soundtrack.

So yeah. What do you like?

I REALLY liked Modern Warfare 2's music (mainly the theme). It was really well done and Hans Zimmer is a beast.
I also liked [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1ZFiwWNdZ0]Medal of Honor's[/url] music. It was well done also.
Most Halo music I like as well. Martin O'Donnell excellent.

As for non fps music:
Legend of Zelda music (most of it) But I especially loved the Song of Storms and Ode to Order.
Maplestory has some great music too...

So yeah, I like a lot of music from games.

All of FFXIII and Super Mario Galaxy's OSTs.
But I learned how to play the SSBB theme on my trumpet by ear. (:

does touhou music count? it has so many fans doing remixes all of the time, it never grows old, and some of these have brought nostalgia on me, the FF themes, the old school mario themes, the megaman ones, GOOD TIMES INDEED!

SAB2 just has a spectacular soundtrack. I get so nostalgic when I hear City Escape and Live and Learn. My favorite track might be Mission Street, though.

@reaper22 Oh my god, that's awesome. O_O

Yeah, I was pretty shocked when Maplestory cooked up a piece of orchestrated BGM.
@Luscious I was introduced to MGS music from Smash Bros, and then I looked up more. It's pretty awesome. But that's a nice list you posted, too. xP

Not so sure if anyone posted this one, But GOD THANK YOU for making this thread.
I was playing pokemon black, and I came across "Village Bridge".
I activated all of the people who make the different sounds, thus created my FAVORITE song.

It sounds kinda lame but I started listening to it today again and man, it seriously has an emotional effect on me. It's not just like, "this sounds cool!", I can remember the story and the things that happen along with this soundtrack at it makes me feel different emotions.

[quote=UglierBetty]Yeah me too! I just beat it yesterday. I hadn't played it in YEARS and it was still just as good as I remember. (Better, even, because now I'm old enough and smart enough to make it through without a strategy guide.)

I think it was so good because of the character development. Unfortunately, they're not going to make another game with a time limit thing, so that means there's no way to give the characters specific schedules.

The Anju/Kafie quest was my favorite. [/quote]

Ha, grats! The idea of the time thing was great too.
