Best video game songs.

[Generator]

The soundtracks for the first 4 Spyro games are all wonderful, all composed by the talented Stewart Copeland. For example:

and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4i-cvK8s90

The rest of the songs are awesome, too; these were just the first that came to mind tonight.

The GTA: Vice City soundtrack. Not original music, but great.

The series hasn't managed to come close since - there's always 1 or 2 great tracks, but never as many as from VC.

 

[Warped_Ghost]

halo 2 soundtrack and also ODST

 

[Spiner909]

I like all the stuff from Final Fantasy X.
All of it is pure awesome in my book. I would post videos of it but my internet is being temperamental tonight.

Yes, but they only had ONE battle music song, and they even used it during some of the boss fights.

MW2 and FO3 had great music!

"Not Alone" from FF9, the orchestrated version will leave you speechless as to what exactly you should feel.

Go look up Katie Covington's vocal version of it too. It's absurdedly good. She also did 'Roses of May' and 'The place I'll return too' (Aka the main theme)

All bloody amazing. Sorry I can't link them, my internet is currently blocking Youtube because it is aids and fail.

You mean Katethegreat? yea that version brought tears to my eyes, it was great, But I am more into non vocal music by nature. Still amazing.

any kingdom hearts music

Quite right sir. Particularly if you can see it performed live by a full orchestra.

Also, a lot of zelda music (especially OoT) and much of the MGS soundtrack

And fuck everyone that doesn't like "snake eater"

 

[Dark Prophet]

Mirror's Edge theme Still Alive both vocal and instrumental the rest of the ost is also pretty damn good
Beyond Good & Evil - Redemption
Half-Life 2 and episodes and some songs from the original also (Triage at Dawn is best from HL2)
Hitman all 4
Silent Hill 2 the Silent Hill 3 - Save Before You Quit

Ah yeah, thats her. I'm usually an instrumental person myself but I make huge exception for those versions. Really spectacular.
