Just curious to see what others always have stuck in their heads. For me, it's the theme from Dr. Wily's first stage in Mega Man 2. For an NES game, it still has that 8-bit bassline that I'm never going to forget.

The Skygunner (PS2 game) song "Wishing for an Eternal Sky"This one has been stuck in my head for years now.

EDIT: I reduced my post to just the one choice.  Like I said, it's been rattling around my brain for about 5 years now.  It's been on all my consoles and ipods during that time, as well.

I like all the classics, of course, but the one song that really stood out to me is Dire Dire Docks, especially the version on this album. It makes me feel super calm and nostalgic at the same time. Who could ask for more?

Really most of the game Bully was great. Especially the final fight with Gary.

Many of the RPGs I play, like Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, Dragon Quest, the usual. And may I say that playing the FF7 Overworld Theme while playing the new Prince of Persia does WONDERS?

Yeah i wanted to say Wily Castle 1 from MM2...
Fever - Dr Mario. Its almost electronica in its original form and its easy to whistle it.
Twist and Battle or Funky Monkey Dance - Mother 3i remix. Cant pick really.Theyre both great songs.
Saturn Valey - Earthbound.For a 1 minute track its pretty memorable.

That site was awesome.  I liked the Super Mario World BGM Overworld (Jazzy!) and Sonic the Hedgehog - Green Hills Zone songs best.  The Sonic one just made me feel nostalgic too for a time when I'd sit up for hours playing that on my Genesis.  The Super Mario World one reminded me of  Vince Guaraldi's work.

I'd have to say "Aria di Mezzo Carattere" (aka Maria & Draco) is one of the top VG songs I have ever heard. Makes me tear up every time.

Probably my favorite version below:

I really like the main halo theme.  It's just so epic and really a great piece.  Of course there's also some catchy songs from the nes era like the SMB theme or megaman.

  


You know, it's really about how it matches up to the mood as well.  Here's DMC.  It's not really great music by itself (but not bad), but in game its awesome
  

Very similar to Twisted Metal's soundtrack's vibe.


and then of course, there's a ton of uematsu stuff.  I'll just pick one from one of his more recent games.

Dire Dire Docks (Weird coincidence, rinkalicous?)
It's really expected and trite I guess but To Zanarkand from FFX is one of my favorite solo piano pieces of all time.

Every time you post, I am completely smitten. Why do you know the best answers to all the world's questions?

For the sake of avoiding redundancy, I'm going with "LG Orbifold" from Half-Life 2. This is easily my favorite piece of music in a first-person shooter.
