Most memorable soundtrack in a game.

[Solo-Wing]

In your opinion what is the most memorable soundtrack you ever heard in a game? For me it would be either Final Fantasy IX, Shadow of the Colossus, or Ace Combat Zero.

EDIT: I put in examples.

 

[GiantRaven]

Metal Gear Solid. An easy pick for me.

 

[Danceofmasks]

Well, there are a lot of games with better soundtracks, but ...
Street Fighter 2: World Warrior was the most memorable.
Mainly 'cos there was no way anyone could not remember the Ken theme after being challenged over 9000+ times with the same character in the space of a week.
(oh yes, I'm still pissed after almost 2 decades)

I'd also go with FFIX (my all-time favourite game)
As well as that, Kingdom Hearts (because of Simple & Clean) and MGS3 (because of the Snake Eater theme)

 

[Diminished Capacity]

Megaman 2. If loving awesome 8 bit music is wrong, I don't want to be right.

 

[Jamboxdotcom]

FFVII (seriously, how could anyone forget "One-Winged Angel"?) or any Fallout game (though more 3 and NV, since the first 2 just had intro theme music and then a bunch of atmospheric music).

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Okami.

Come one! Shinshu field is awesome!

 

[EllEzDee]

Probably Fallout 3. It's music i'd never listen to, yet i still remember the lyrics to each and every song.
Killing Floor's another contender. I hate heavy metal and most types of rock music, but Killing Floor's sound track is just amazing.
"SoundtracK For the apocolypse" is where most of the songs are from.

 

[Chordus]

The Myst series. If I had to choose one, I'd say Myst IV.

Also, Little King's Story.

[PortalParadox]

The Blazblue series, in my opinion, has one of the greatest original soundtracks of all time.

Every single song is extremely badass and extremely addicting.

 

[Oxford The Cat]

Hitman: Blood Money


The version of Ave Maria at the main menu in particular.

Spoiler: Main Menu / One mission's music

 

[northeast rower]

Mass Effect 2 and Red Dead Redemption are up there, but the music of the Halo games consistently blows me away.


As for a licensed soundtrack... though Burnout 3 is close, that of Jet Set Radio Future was phenomenal.

[Mr. Omega]

Typical Answer: Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars. Hell, ANY Mario RPG.

Personal Pick: Bomberman: The Second Attack. Seriously, the soundtrack for this game is AWEOME!

 

[FabiotheTurtle]

I'd have to say Donkey Kong Country 2. In particular, the mine levels and the Stickerbrush Symphony.

 

[TheTim]

Either Legend of Zelda games,

Or WET, i really liked that sound track.

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Baldur's Gate series.

Specifically Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn.

Glorious music is to be had there.


Dragonbattle Music:


Epic Theme Music:

 

[Hlain]

This:

I like how the melody has been used in the main themes for Oblivion and now Skyrim, in slightly different forms.
Morrowind had a slow, kind of magical sound. Oblivion was more imposing, and made you think of khights in shining armour. Lastly Skyrim, that has a more rugged sound, kind of barbarian; which fits perfectly with the suroundings.

 

[Razgrizaces]

Ace Combat 6 or Ace Combat 5. Amazing sound tracks, both of them.

Respectively, these two. Love The Journey Home, because of the sad mission in Ace Combat 5.






EDIT:
This is The Journey Home without words, if you wanted just the music itself, rather than the singer. Just putting this here...
