Best soundtrack in a game?

[Dr Ampersand]

*Possible spoilers for games in this thread*

What game do you think has the best sound track? For me it'd have to be Shadow of the Collossus. It fits the atmosphere the game demands excellently.
and
The game in question doesn't have to be good just the soundtrack.

SotC also happens to be a kickass game on top of that.
Post what game you think had the best music so we may all derail the thread into what constitues music and why music X sucks and why!

Mass Effect had an amazing sound track, it's one of the few games I've bought the sound track for. The Presidium is one of my favorite songs ever.

Donkey Kong Country 2 has the greatest music ever:

Cohen's Masterpiece I listen to every day. It's from Bioshock, track eight. I love it. Also, it doesn't really count, but I also love 'Ain't no rest for the wicked' from something-elephant. They're a seperate band, and this song was bought for the game, specifically. Also listen to it daily.

The rest...well, all of the Halo games had a pretty pumpin' soundtrack. But nothing worthy of being bought by me.

It's got to be Silent Hill. I haven't even played all of the games, but I've listened to the soundtracks from all of them because they're so damn good.

*Hopes not to be Ninja'd* Morrowind.

Edit: Completely forgot about Red Alert
Morrowind's a close second, then.

I think Jack Wall did a very good job with Mass Effect 2 so that gets my vote.

Okami had a well-done OST.
Hitman: Blood Money was great, especially the techno ones like "Club Heaven".
Oblivion was amazing. Jeremy Soule got it right.
and Fallout 3 made me laugh with GNR. you just can't NOT smile while using a ripper while hearing "Butcher Pete pt.1"
also, Enclave radio and its talk programs made me VERY patriotic. i don't even care if it was made to be propaganda, i'd follow John Henry Eden to hell and back XD

"Noveria" was a great track. strangely relaxing.

I freakign adore the Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack.

But my personal favorite would have to be Chrono Trigger. For example,

Spoiler: At the Bottom of Night

Spoiler: Schala's Theme

Spoiler: To Far Away Times

Then some of the remixes... I mean, dang.

Spoiler: Darkest Omen, from Chrono Symphonic

Amazing soundtrack, despite its midi-ness.

Runner-ups are the Halo series, Final Fantasy VI, VII, and X, Gears of War (the first one), the Crash Bandicoot series (the real ones, on the PS1), and Super Mario Galaxy.

 

[Radeonx]

The whole Fire Emblem series. But, if I'd have to choose a game, it'd be Fire Emblem 6.

I always found it strange that the music was so quite all the time in game, it's fantastic.

Most things that Jesper Kyd touches are awesome:
-AssCreed1 &2 (especially 2)
-the Hitman Series
-Freedom Fighters
-Kane and Lynch

Jesper Kyd FTW! how could i forget about Freedom Fighters?! "Choir of Liberty" was the best track. i have something like 400 plays on my ipod!

 

[Gigaguy64]

Hmmm.

Metroid Prime had an amazing soundtrack

Spoiler: this is just the MENU theme

And Super Robot Taisen OG Saga:Endless Frontier had a incredible selection of music.

Spoiler: An awesome theme, Flawless Full Moon

Spoiler: My favorite theme, Path to Certain Victory
