Everybody and their dog knows the Mario song, I'm guessing people wanted to pick a song special to them and not millions of hipsters who have it as their ringtone despite never having played the game.

Also classic =/= good

People are going to hate me, but the compositions from the Halo:CE are amazing
No, they really are. I one of those Halo is "meh" guys but even I think their soundtracks are stunning. It might even get my vote. Either the Halo Franchise or motherfucking Phoenix Wright.


I will sing this series glory from the highest mountain tops!
Okay, first off, best.. 8bit.. song.. ever...

But I know my classical music from experience, even though Im only 17 I have quite the ear for writing masterpieces. Every other halo preceding the first had music was just rehashed from the first and then they added some techno/rock elements that just didnt fit to please the general crowd who dont know anything about music.

Universe at War comes to mind for me. It is a realatively mediocre RTS featuring a bunch of aliens and robots fighting over Earth as the humans get stomped from all sides. Cheezy storyline, crappy camera and reasonable gameplay caused the game to sorta sit in a corner and die under its own mediocrity. That said, the game had an excellent soundtrack written by the same block who did the soundtrack for Red Alert. Check it out on youtube (search for Universe at War OST).

Love that song! Also I have to admit that the Zelda songs are also amazing!

But from a recent game I would have to say that I love the Halo themes and the song at the end of Portal. (I've been ninja'd on both occasions though)

Gotta be otherworld from FFX- Had that as my ringtone for 7 years, and still let people ring out so I could hear the whole intro.
If I could remember how in hell to put links in, I'd be doing that about now.

Oh, and the entire Quake soundtrack - that's what got me into Nine Inch Nails.

Currently I am obssessed with the great pyramid battle song from Serious Sam HD TFE.


Just played through Serious Sam HD with my best friend on LIVE, having never played Serious Sam before. This song plus the insane battle it comes with, actually brought a tear to my eye from sheer awesome ='D

Okay, here we go, there are a bunch of great pieces of music for games(I'm just gonna go with music, as there's mostly no singing involved in game soundtracks):

Warning: This is a long list.
C&C: Generals:


Mass Effect:


Mass Effect 2:


Red Alert Series:


Tropico 3(actually all 15 songs, but I can't be bothered to put them all here):


Plants vs Zombies:


Also, the Oblivion soundtrack in general is awesome.

This.
In that same vein, let me propose something from The Nameless Mod: "Axis of Rotation" by Leo Badinella.
I love the spacey feel of the whole song, but when the guitar and piano come in at the end... whoo!

You can listen to it here, track #24: http://mariussoft.com/TheNamelessMod.aspx
