Golden Sun had some really great music. I use to love just going to the sound test and listening to some of the pieces.

This list always seems handy:

Soundtracks to review to.

	1. Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu Is it really any surprise? There are just so many memorable tracks from this game!
	2. Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon Man, does this game know how to work a piano. It knows exactly which notes to hit to make you feel whatever emotion it wants.
	3. Bahamut Lagoon Just like Fragile Dreams before it, Bahamut Lagoon's pretty good at laying down some emotional tracks.
	4. Mystic Ark How the hell did Produce make the SNES sound so good? Sometimes, it's hard to tell which track is the original, and which is the arrange. Also, crazy ass names abound. It's just a shame that my favorite track (Alone) is nowhere to be found on YouTube. Also, it sucks that the sequel dropped the crazy names for something much more boring.
	5. Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together Not the PSP version (although I've nothing against that), but the SNES version. It's like a boisterous proto-Mystic Ark, in a sense. It's just the type of fighting spirit I could use while writing about how much I don't like Costume Quest.
	6. Final Fantasy VI Again, like Seisen no Keifu, so many memorable and beloved tracks to pick from.
	7. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time OK, I mostly listened to this one while I was reviewing the game in question. It's how I figured out that half the soundtrack is ripped from Link to the Past. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy it, though.
	8. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Honestly, how the crap can you question this? Michael Jackson wrote the soundtrack. He snuck Smooth Criminal into the Ice Cap Zone. That is just all kinds of awesome.
	9. SaGa (Specifically, the Romancing variant of it.) Technically, I should only list Romancing SaGa 3 here, since 1 is hard as hell to find on YouTube (hint: English won't do you any favors), and I'm pretty sure that 2 isn't even on YouTube, but they're all so good. Kenji Ito sure as shit knows how to compose stylistic music.
	10. Hatsune Miku Goddamn it. I guess that's it. I've crossed the weeaboo line. There's no going back now. I have to admit, though, that this Vocaloid can work wonders when used properly. You (I) have @icemael to blame.
	11. Fire Emblem Gaiden I'm trying to institute a new rule where for each review I write, I try to write it to a video game soundtrack I haven't already done for this. This time, we have Fire Emblem Gaiden, which manages to eke in with a decent fantasy soundtrack, ranging from energetic to just plain mystical.
	12. Yoko Shimomura Oh, Ms. Shimomura. Only your elegant, sonorous pieces could help me survive the terror of reliving Alone in the Dark for review purposes.
	13. Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies And following Ms. Shimomura is a soundtrack that's simultaneously bouncy and emotional. It's like Fragile Dreams Pinball, only not that fucking insane.
	14. Terranigma While I'm here, I might as well add the Terranigma soundtrack. So distinctive and soft. The sad thing is that neither of the composers for this game ever worked on anything else (as far as I can tell).

@crosstheatlantic: Yeah, the golden sun series has some great tracks.

I had this all hyperlinked up then got an error, I don't have the heart to find them all again :(

ANYWAY I tried to pick 1 track from my favorite OST(s), but each of these albums rocks.

• Terminal March-Bastion
• Cider Time-Dustforce
• Kinetic Harvest-Shatter
• Moongazer-To the Moon
• Daisuke and Miami Disco-Hotline Miami
• The Corruption-Darksiders 2
• Terra's Theme-Final Fantasy 6
• Betus Blues-Super Meat Boy
• Sacrificial-The Binding of Isaac (Danny Baranowski is a BOSS)
• That One Song By Jeremy Soule- Guildwars and Elderscrolls

Off the top of my head, Vigil's Theme from Mass Effect and Drake's Theme from the Uncharted series are two of my favorite music pieces in games.

Sonic Adventure 1 and 2

Recently, I'm really enjoying the title theme from Krater:

Also, perhaps on a related note:

That's really hard to narrow down. Here goes, though:

I try to mix it up whenever these threads come around. Lately I've been on a huge ambient kick, so here you go:

I've got some recent favourites:

Fuck yes ^__^ Ghost Trick's soundtrack is amazing, not to mention that the game itself is also amazing.

Also, here's something from Splice:

Here's a disparate few:

Gears of War 2 & 3:

• Hanover's Favourite Son.
• Gears Keep Turning.
• With Sympathy.

No More Heroes:

• Speed Buster theme.
• The Virgin Child Makes Her Wish Without Feeling Anything.
• Heavenly Star.
• Zako 2.

Donkey Kong Country 2:

• Castle theme.

Terranigma:

• A Hero's Final Day.

Silent Hill 2 & 4:

• Room of Angel.
• Promise (Reprise).
• Theme of Laura (Reprise).

The Cat Lady:

• Lily of the Valley.

Street Fighter X Tekken:

• Pitstop 109 theme.

Saints Row: The Third:

• Main theme.

I'm playing through Halo: Anniversary and the music is still incredible.

People can argue all they want about the direction FPS's took after Halo, use of a controller etc. but that score suits the game down to the ground and sets the atmosphere better then the graphics or story ever did.

What a beard! The rest of it is pretty cool, too.

On topic, there's a distinct lack of Chrono Trigger in this thread.

We also need some Mega Man X

And a bit of Deus Ex

Donkey Kong Country 2 gets a mention

And some Morrowind for good measure.

Metroid Prime's soundtrack is still great

Halo 1 has already had a mention and so has Doom, so I won't post those. I can probably think of more but I don't want my post to be too long.

I get really pumped whenever I hear the Skyrim theme and I have so many flashbacks to the countless hours I spent with that game. It single handedly hyped me for the game beforehand.

Final Fantasy 4 (Theme of Love) 6 (Terra's Theme) 7 (Aerith's Theme) 8 (Don't be Afraid) and 10 (Zanarkand)

Chrono Trigger (Brink of Time) (Wind Scene) (Memories of Green)

Persona 4 credits song (Never More). Persona 4 had pretty good music in general.

The legend of zelda - All of the music from (Ocarina of time) (Windwaker) (A link to the Past) (Skyward Sword) (Twighlight Princess)

Nothing in particular, but the pokemon games have pretty good music all around

Ni No Kuni (The Fairygrounds) - (Ding Dong Dell) - (The Golden Grove) - (The Hero of the Kingdom) Every time I hear Kokoro No Kakera( Pieces of a Broken Heart ) I get a little misty eyed.

The Dragon Quest 8 main theme is absolutely beautiful.

Symphony of the Night is another personal favorite of mine. Just hearing any song from it's soundtrack reminds me of exploring Dracula's castle like it was yesterday. The most recognizable song by most is probably Dance of Gold. It's one of the first songs you hear when starting the game and it creates a wonderful precedent for the game's tone. Also, Dance of Pales is beautifully haunting and one of my favorite videogame songs from the Ps1 era.

Finally FTL. Speaks for itself.

The music from Halo is one of the reason why I love to play that series as much as I do. That score is really incredible.

System Shock 2 has a very good soundtrack. Of course, this music is much more effective when you're trying to run away from shotgun wielding zombies.

Hit me with that sweet, sweet menu music.

Thomas was Alone..the whole soundtrack is brilliant.
