Personally, music is a big thing for me in games. Without good (or appropriate) music, a big chink of a game's atmosphere is gone. Here are a couple of my favorite battle themes. Feel free to share yours as well.

This is my favorite battle theme ever! I fell in with it right at the switch at 1:22. SO GOOD. All of Persona 4's music is outstanding and is a great departure from the standard RPG tunes.

 
This theme is awesome just cause it kicks so much ass and is incredibly epic. It sounds really strange at first but it kicks in at the 1:00 mark.

I really like that Persona theme, it's pretty great but I might prefer Persona 3's more though I'm not decided

Can't hear this theme without having flashbacks to fighting the Atma Weapon on the floating island

The pokemon battle theme is probably the most memorable to me. Also, the battle theme for FF 13 is probably the best part of FF 13

Seconded. Pleasant memories of kicking Seymour's face in.

I still really like the final boss music in Blue dragon. The regular boss battle in that game was also really amazing..... the first time you listen to it. But by the fourteenth or fifteenth time however, you're quite happy to have it purged from human history.

From recent memory, I gotta say Brad from Comic Jumper.  I've never purposefully died in a boss fight before just so I could go back and hear the whole theme song again.

  If we're talking about fighting Seymour, than this is the superior kicking-Seymour's-ass song.

Shame it only gets used once. On an easy as hell fight nonetheless.

My all time favourite end boss battle music is easily "Can still see the light" from Phantasy Star Online. I still get chills every time I hear it because it reminds me of how magical the first time I heard the song was for me. It was like the perfect storm of months of work to get to this point, and the build up of the song as the battle went on was pitch perfect.

Holy fuck cakes! I found some music from one of my all time favourite games and I had forgotten how much I loved the music in this game.

  The final rival battle theme from red/blue is awesome.

  Also the team Plasma music from Black/White.

I admit, there are four that really stand out as the ones that I just really love.


First up is from Perosn 4, "The Genesis."
  

   Next would be from an older Nintendo 64 game called Mischief Makers, the theme being from the final boss.
  
  
From Persona 3, "The Battle For Everyone's Souls."
  
  
Finally, probably my favorite piece of boss music, the end world boss music from, again, Mischief Makers.

About the only two boss themes that I can think of off the top of my head that have really stuck with me over the years are these:
  

   
The rest of them just kind of come and go with the games.

Eternity from Blue Dragon is always the first thing that comes to mind when I think of a boss theme. The makers of Shut Up and Jam! Gaiden also included it as a boss battle theme.

Won't post Jenova Theme, One Winged Angel or the "mid-boss" battle theme from FFVII, but this one right here might end the thread as well ;) ...

Oh man, all of the boss battle themes from Zone of the Enders The 2nd Runner were great!  Below are tracks from three different boss battles I can remember off hand.

1) Zakat.  This one's my favorite!  Fighting high up in the atmosphere and seeing the horizon of Mars, in addition with the brash attitude of your opponent made this an exciting battle!
  

  

2) Fake Aumaan.  Mixed with tracks from the original game sends chills down your spine when you hear it because you're facing an enemy you had to ditch fighting from the first game.
  
  

3) The final battle.  Epic fight!
