Might be a little cliché, but I grew up with it.

My favorite piece of video game music, in concert. Here's an OCRemix of the Ye Olde classic "Aquatic Ambiance" from the SNES's Donkey Kong Country. Adaptive a jazzy smooth tone, it takes a really nice modern turn on a tune that is forever my gem.

 I have a weird time grasping that my favorite piece of video game music, and an extremely highly regarded piece of video game music, only has about 60,000 views. It's just a little astonishing for me. I think I'm going to keep doing these music posts, just for the love of video game music I have. Why not start with my favorite?

I would leave my Secret Of Mana on my SNES on the title screen for so long just to hear the Angel's Fear theme.

Here's a gorgeous orchestral version of it.

Me too. It's my favorite SNES game by a fairly wide margin.

Kinda pushing the childhood aspect of the thread but it was still whilst I was growing up: 
          

  

Nintendo knows how to make beautiful music, and this just resonates with me so much. I was always a Zelda kid, and Wind Waker was arguably one of the first to break the formula, and just being able to explore this massive ocean with this beautiful piece playing in the background was magical. Sure, after a few hours of treasure hunting it dragged but... :P
 
Also sorry to be that guy but:
    
  
No matter what, the endurance run was an epic thing, everything just weaved together perfectly, and the fact that I love listening to the soundtrack for purely nostalgia purposes, and because its fantastic music, is testament to it.

And now for something completely different...
  

  
Such a lazy, sunny afternoon song. I used to love just wandering around the forest in Psychonauts listening to it.

Thread is off to a good start with Aquatic Ambiance and Shatter. 
 
This track off the Machinarium soundtrack is one of my favourites. Very Boards of Canadaish.

Great remix!
 
All the DKC games have great music.  One of my favorite VG songs off all time comes from DKC 2.

@Blair: @Tordah:  Both really great examples of VGM.  
I had totally forgotten about Shatter.

And exactly! I'm really excited for the new one coming to Wii. I really want to see if the music holds up. I don't know who the composer/producer is though.  
 
Also, Let us not forget Super Meat Boy's astonishing break-through with DannyB and his fantastic work.

Donkey Kong Country had an awesome soundtrack.
 
A more recent game that had a fantastic soundtrack is Shatter. Seriously, sometimes I boot up the game and play for awhile just because the music is so damn good.
