Mine would have to be Heaven's Night, the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack. Just extremely well done save the hard rock songs. I also like WoW's taven music CD, for nostalgic reasons.

Jet Set Radio was pretty awesome, I thought. Chrono Trigger was probably the first game where I was really impressed with how well the soundtrack carried the mood of the game.

That people keep attributing Doom's music to Bobby Prince makes me die a little inside. It's the principle of the thing.

Great artists steal, man.  I really hate that song. I think it's just perfect to associate with blitzball, which I consider probably the worst mini game ever made. |

Backing up everyone that said I76. That shit was awesome, ditto JSRF. I still break that out on occasion to bop through that bizarre mirror Tokyo.
Red Dead Redemption's score is pitch perfect for the game.
A good mention also needs to go out to a couple of the radio stations in GTA 4, especially Radio Broker and Liberty Rock Radio. Both of these partially because of Juliette Lewis and Iggy Pop's DJ capacities.

I don't think I could pick a single game's soundtrack that's uniformly good. Most of them have a lot of filler. According to Last.fm, my favorite game song is "Rose of Victory" from EVE. It's the only game song on my top ten playlist. My favorite from LotRO is "Silent Hope", which plays around Bag End. I also like most of the dwarven music and the Bree-Land guitar themes like "Autumn Ale". The use of acoustic instruments gives Bree an earthy and authentic feel that the synthesized "epic" scores of other games can't match. I've really enjoyed the score to AoC: Rise of the Godslayer. It sounds authentically Eastern, but tones down the unusual time signatures and whatnot that tend to alienate Western ears. I haven't listened to it enough to pick a standout track. Oblivion's soundtrack created a unique, gentle mood. I strongly associate the music with the game, more so than with other game music. I see the landscapes rolling by, the grass waving in the wind. My favorite track from that was "Wings of Kynaerth". The crescendos are dazzlingly pretty. Xenosaga I, a mediocre game, managed to have a song that raises the hairs on my arm every time I hear it; "World to be Born". I can see starships leaving orbit for parts unknown when I listen. I think it's obligatory to include a song from Halo. My favorite's "Unyielding", which to my ear has touches of progressive rock in it (starting at 1:50). Plus, I love that the bassline in the early part is played on piano. If you'll excuse the bias, "Suicide Mission" from Mass Effect 2 is one of my favorite pieces of action music. I left before the soundtrack was recorded, so I first heard it when I bought the OST. It caught me flatfooted. I play it louder than any other game song. - I adjust settings on my soundcard to get it up to 11. |

"Should the batman kill Joker because it would save more lives?" is a fundamentally different question from "should the batman have a bunch of machineguns that go BATBATBATBATBAT because its totally cool?". ~Goumindong

Omikron. Agree on Persona 3+4. I put them in my coffee. FFIV. Maybe just me but it is burned into my soul. I always have enjoyed the music in EVE Online. Diablo had a fantastic soundtrack. Also agree about Katamari Damacy. The first one, to be clear. The later ones were not bad, really, but less good and possibly an egregious affront to the original. |

FFVI as well. A lot of great moody pieces in that one. |

You can blow it out your nose if you think Everlasting Love isn't as good if not better than any song on the original Katamari soundtrack. |

There were ones and twos on the later set that I really got into, but several tracks were just remixes of previous ones. The whole thing, though? I have to go with the first game. The sequels tried too hard on basically every front, while managing to be unoriginal in most ways. But yea, there were a few tracks that were good. |

Fuck, how could I forget Fallout 3?
The only drawback to that was that there weren't enough songs in the rotation.

Thinking upon it, I rather like the TF2 music, even though you don't get to hear it much usually.
