I'd have to add Persona 3's music. I love it.

Frank Klepacki. Best game music ever. I have it stuffed on my ipod. It doesn't feel like video game music to me. Oh he has all of his songs on his website with a jukebox to play them.

He did the music for Westwood back before EA grabbed them and ♥♥♥♥ed them up. So he did the Command and Conquer games. As well as the music for petroglyph. Which is made up of the Westwood guys that told EA to ♥♥♥♥ it and started over again making RTS games. They made empire at war and Universe at war.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb-gI_pFog0 <- Hell march. Very awesome song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coNKMoJ5ut4 <- act on instinct * none game version*.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEkiQ...eature=related This is really Full Stop, not warfare (Idk who Fed that up, whatever).
These are my 3 favorite songs from him. The newer stuff is more complex and "better". Remember these are from 10 year old games. From 95 and 98. Back when game music was pretty plain.

edit: Forgot this one. The CD version has lyrics added and really adds to the bad assery.

Fire Emblem 4 and 5- THE WHOLE ♥♥♥♥IN' SOUNDTRACK

Final Fantasy VI - THE WHOLE ♥♥♥♥IN' SOUNDTRACK

Metroid Prime: Meta Ridley.
Metroid Prime 3: Final Boss Fight.
Kingdom Hearts: Boss Fight
Metal Gear Solid 2: Boss Fight + Opening scene.

A lot more as well, however it would take ages to list them all - they're just my general favourites

Shadow of the Colossus - Revived Power
Final Fantasy X - To Zanarkand (Piano Collections)

Those are the two that come most readily to mind.

The World Ends With You- Amnesia
Pokemon Emerald- Legendary Pokemon Theme
Pokemon Platinum-Arceus Theme

Big Blue

I Am The Wind (omg...so 1990's XD)

Mournful Serenade



The Tragic Prince



Wandering Ghosts


Hyrule Castle Theme FSA version


(i like this version because it is not a remix, its actually just a cleaner sounding version of the AlttP version)

Soul Caliber 2: Mansion
Soul Caliber 2: Pirates Den
Also, special mention to SCII's Osthreinsburg Chapel and Talim's Guided by Wind. SC II's music is the only stuff to get me truly pumped for a fight, other than 80's hair metal music.

Grandia: Leen's theme - goes up there with Gusty Garden Galaxy as my favorite vgame music composition.

Bonus: Chrono Cross: Guldove Home World

On top of what others have posted, Castlevania has some pretty great music:

The Beginning

Simon's Theme

Bloody Tears

Vampire Killer

Wicked Child

Lost Paintings

Clocktower (and a remix)

Et cetrera.

Boss music-Eternity by Ian Gillian

Nearly the entire soundtrack of de Blob.
That is all.

...Well, no, I'll add why.
This game's individual songs are actually pretty repetitive, but they're infectiously catchy. They're really upbeat, and I can't help but feel great when listening to them. They play all level long, which is fine by me-- I'll be tapping my foot and whistling along with them the entire time (no joke). You can even select which song to play during the level (as long as you've gotten to or past the level that has the song you want to use).

If they weren't cool enough already, you ADD music during the game. Depending on what color paint you have, every time you color something, you throw various instrument bursts seamlessly into the song. It's really enjoyable, and I think it pulls the game's style together really well.

Let's see... OoT soundtrack, TP soundtrack, ALttP soundtrack, Smashing...Live!, a couple of Link's Awakening remixes, and some songs from The World Ends With You.

And also the Brawl version of Mach Rider.
