Xenogears and MGS Series clearly has the best soundtracks ever in VG series

[HayashiTakara]

I dunno if any of you are old enough to remember this. But the Top Gun theme for the NES

Go 80's !!

Final Fantasy XIII's Soundtrack is awesome:

[Nikkan]

Heavy Rain.
Nothing makes me feel more empty than Ethan's theme song

Top Gun is simultaneously the most overtly homo-erotic yet manly movie of the 80's.

[Jaden]

Freelancer had some wicked tunes. Overall it's an awesome soundtrack.

[GreatTeacherKen]

Super Mario Galaxy 2's soundtrack is just as good as the first's, if not slightly better. There's even more awesome orchestrated music than the previous one as well as some superb remixes of classic Mario tunes like the Super Mario 64 theme and Super Mario World's Ghost House.

Nier.
Best stuff I've heard in years. Since this is a rare case of me actually liking most, if not all tracks on the OST I'll have to limit it to my favourites.

Can't believe I forgot Streets of Rage 1 for the Sega Genesis. Loved that classic soundtrack.

This may prove to be a fun topic and especially tough for those who has a TON of good game music sound that left an impression of them but have trouble remembering them all. So instead of naming a WHOLE list I'd say we start off slowly one at a time and occasionally come back if you remember more video game music that you enjoyed.

Naturally there may be spoilers in this topic due to there being a lot of EPIC final boss fight themes too so thread softly if you're sensitive about that.

Now I will start off "Beyond the Bounds" the theme song to the installment of game series I fell in love with and that is Zone of the Enders the 2nd runner:

Nothing has really come close to the pretty much game-defining Morrowind theme for me... the game always seemed to come together when that track came up in the playlist as I was adventuring... I'd slowly pan the camera or crest a hill during a sunrise for that tingling epic feeling, lol...

[SOGESNAKE]

Well, off the top of my head, the only 2 games I can remember currently that I absolutely loved the soundtrack to was Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and Ys Seven. Though thinking about it now, those are probably my all time favourite videogame soundtracks entirely~

Spoiler for Scott Pilgrim vs The World:

Spoiler for Ys Seven:

Spoiler for youtube embedding:

take the video number and wrap [youtube] tag around it
for example, from your link the number is 7Z-N45OPXH8 (the video number is the ones beside the "v=" on each youtube URL)

so it'll go like this:

You could try quoting a post containing an embedded youtube video to see how it's posted.

As for me, well.. as you can see we have too many good music to list
The first that came into mind is this:

Deus Ex - Freedom Shootout (Liberty Island battle theme)

[synaesthetic]

This is where the music goes.

Share video game music that you think is awesome, epic, or gives you the feels. Any feels. Except terrible feels--we only want awesome music here. Discussion of music is also fine, because list threads are dull.

I'll get us started off:

Ys Origin
"Scars of the Divine Wing" (boss battle theme)

Mass Effect 2 - Overlord DLC
"Boss Combat" (boss battle theme)

Parasite Eve
"Plosive Attack" (boss battle theme)

... I'm sensing a pattern here. I think that pattern is... boss battle themes are awesome.

[Dragonkid11]

First,I hereby declare that Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is full of absolute awesome musics that redefine awesomeness itself.

Second,enjoy.

Rules of Nature

The Only Thing I Know For Real

I'm My Own Master Now

A Stranger I Remains

The Stains of Time

Red Sun

Collective Consciousness

It Has to Be This Way

[Wild Goose]

No mention of gaming music is complete without the PS2 Ace Combat Holy Trinity:

Ace Combat 04: Megalith ~ Agnus Dei

Ace Combat5: The Unsung War

Ace Combat Zero: Zero

Yes, Kaoishit, you can make Spanish Guitar badass.

Ace Combat Assault Horizon also has one of the best tracks ever: Keep Alive.

Let me continue with some good ol' Black Isle titles' soundtracks then:

First, the epics...
