Favourite video game music

[TrekBiker]

Music from Doom (the original) was eerie and mysterious and creepy - it was perfect for the game. Also, the music for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was good at enhancing the setting.

I just downloaded the entire Uncharted soundtrack by Greg Edmonson, who did the music for Firefly, and its pure genius t:

Lost Odyssey's soundtrack was awesome.

Forgotten about this games theme, it was awsome.

[Addendum]

On the forums of a website I visit to get video game and movie soundtracks (Galbadia Hotel), one of the posters there back in May made the best first post ever.

The music from Grand Theft Auto 4. Not the 16 track sampler that was in the "Special Edition". But every music track from the radio stations without the DJ banter.

Favourite video game music

Right now I can think of.. hmm.. Halo.. the first one.. haven't played Halo II and/or III.. also, F.E.A.R.. great background music.. Wish I could get it, somewhere, somehow..

 

[The Denialist]

Quake, Doom, Crash Bandicoot (especially Twinsanity, there's some great a cappella stuff), Silent Hill, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Fable, and Halo.

Hmm, I really liked the music in the second level in the orginal classic Sonic the Hedgehog.

Yeah, I always liked that one as well.

Pretty much the entire OST is awsome.

When it comes to movies, I'm a big fan of soundtracks, they can really push the film that bit more forward for me, like Indiana Jones of Back to the Future. I was putting some movie stuff onto my iPod last night, and thought to video games. I realised there's some awesome stuff there too, so I thought maybe we could all post our favourite video game music.

For me, the Metal Gear solid is littered with amazing music, but for now, I'll just leave it down to this awesome live version of the main theme adapted to include some MGS3 music too - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfKA4b5SFq4

: Always sounded way to cookie cutter. Nothing terrible, but nothing I haven't heard a hundred times before in Godzilla movies.

Little Big Planet has had some great music in its trailers too, here's the whole version of the theme - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMGljB4MJ_w

And of course, there's no beating the classic Legend of Zelda theme, very dramatic version of it here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6xE4pnf63U&feature=related

Conker poo song

It's funny as poo. Nuff said.

Mass Effect

It's just so fricken epic and sounds like nothing you've ever heard.

Doom

Classic as they come...

This is the song that made people look at VG music for the first time. Everyone in the world knows this song, everyone in the world KNOWS they wish they could play this on the guitar. VG music is taken seriously because of this one song.

All of the Final Fantasy music and... the pokemon games...

 

[NightCrawler]

I'd have to say Looney Tunes Crazy Castle on the NES was nice. Especially the opening press start screen. Old School Nintendo tunes... those were the days.

The Legend of Zelda

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm probably gonna catch some flak for this, but I've found I really like the Mirror's Edge theme song. Not the lyrics, really, but something about that piano riff gets to me. I bought it off iTunes after I beat the game yesterday and listened to it like 5 times since then.

 

[PyroChamber]

I've always liked the music from Jurassic Park for SNES.
