So this song just came on which got me thinking as I wait for some glue to dry, which was what songs I enjoyed most from games. Then I figured maybe it'd be interesting to also ask the same thing to Dakka.

I'll start off in no real order.
Persona 3
Shoji Meguro - The Poem for Everyone's Souls



Devil May Cry 3
Tetsuya Shibata - Damned Chess Battle



Vanquish
Pretty much all of the sound track from this.



Megaman ZX Advent
Trap Phantasm



Metroid Fusion
Has a couple decent ones on it despite the limitations it had.



So Dakka, how about you?

115 - Elena Siegman - CoD Black Ops - Awful game, but zombies is fun, and this song is cool

Not Ready to Die - Avenged Sevenfold - CoD Black Ops - Again, bad game, zombies is fun, songs are cool

One Final Effort - Halo 3 - Cool game, cool music

Suicide Mission - Mass Effect 2 - Takes a while to build up, but then gets really awesome

Chemical Beats - Crazy Taxi (I think) Such a good song to drive/race to, in any game

The top 5 i like are not in any particular order, I love them all too much!




Dead Island theme + Halo Reach ( WOW ITS GOOD )



Chrono Cross ( so many people played this game after listening to it on youtube )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBE3c9X0BoA#t=3m14s ( time marked )



Metal Gear 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVaN4Qd5qMM#t=2m30s ( time marked )



Final Fantasy 6 Aria di Mezzo Carattere ( known as Cele's Opera Song ) The most memorable part of Final Fantasy series without the need for someone to die xD
The reason the octave sounds low is, this is a duet, and she sung both sides.


Final Fantasy 6 (Wanderer of Time / Overworld Map song ) Because we all walked around the map a liiiiiiiiitle longer just to hear it :3

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Bastion's soundtrack is awesome as a whole. Great game too, and one I didn't think I would like.

Number 1:

This is my favorite, personally:




Number 2:




Another game with all around fantastic music.

Number 3:

I hate Halo, as a series of games, but it had great music.




Number 4:

Great game, great music.




Number 5:

This is the only game soundtrack I've ever bought.

Ugh, hard to pick five. I guess I'll go with these. All of the songs are the orchestrated versions from Distant Worlds ~ Music from Final Fantasy, which is an awesome concert.

Dancing Mad - Final Fantasy VI



J-E-N-O-V-A - Final Fantasy VII



Opening ~ Bombing Mission - Final Fantasy VII



Opera "Maria and Draco" - Final Fantasy VI



And who can forget the king of Final Fantasy music?

One-Winged Angel - Final Fantasy VII



I've been to three different video game music concerts (Distant Worlds and Video Games Live! twice) and all three of them closed with One-Winged Angel. It's hard not to love it.

Hmm. The entirety of Chrono Cross's soundtrack was absolutely mesmerizing, as are various tracks from Final Fantasy, Shadow of the Colossus and the like. But to pick five that are themselves the best? That...is very difficult to say. I suppose I might as well list a track that was most important to me:

Chrono Cross's "Radical Dreamers", by Yasunori Mitsuda, as linked earlier:

Spoiler:



Chrono Cross's "Time's Scar", by Yasunori Mitsuda:

Spoiler:



Radical Dreamers literally motivated me to learn the guitar so that I could eventually play this myself. And not to brag, but on my way to mastering this tune I became quite the virtuoso at playing the instrument. I suppose you could trace back my learning it in the first place to beating the game, which I wanted to play in the first place after seeing the opening from 1a which I got in a demo disc with Vagrant Story.

I suppose I'll post more as time goes on.
