My God there are just so many amazing sound-tracks out there it is hard to choose, but guess if I had to I would pick the Legend of Zelda. Its music has always had a very adventurous, heroic, and upbeat vibe to it that just makes you feel good after you listen to it.

Silent Hill 2, the only game soundtrack i've fallen in love with so much i had to buy the soundtrack

SH 2 and 3 has the best soundtrack in the series, and I have SH2 in my car at the moment.

OT: That, and Assassin's Creed II, that soundtrack is amazing.

I may be a bit biased here, seeing as I uploaded all the race's theme music to Youtube, but I am going to have to say Star Control 2. Quite a large array of music that gets the themes across for the races in a very simple manner.

Close second would be one of these:

Starcraft Broodwar.
AI War: Fleet Command.
Dungeons of Dredmor.

I kind of like them all equally so I can't really just pick one. >.<

Pretty much any gameboy game, especially Mario and Pokemon, some awesome music.

It still sends a chill down my spine when I hear the random encounter theme from pokemon, one of my mates has it as his ringtone.

Metal Gear Solid series has some amazing music. It incorporates electronic elements along with jazz and classically inspired pieces. Plus "Snake Eater" is a song that my friends and I sing on a regular basis.

Wow theres a lot. But if I have to narrow it down, I would say Chrono Cross is my number one pick. Following that would be the Final Fantasy series, and after that would be Castlevania, again the whole series.

FF6 has the greatest overall soundtrack of all time in my eyes. However, my personal favorite theme from any game is the overworld Zelda theme.
Best boss music ever:

Dragon Age: Origins, the main theme is absolutely great.

Also, Mass Effect has some great music.

Nostalgia may be a big factor in this decision, but I'd say Chrono Trigger

I can't choose!
- Silent Hill (whole series, especially #2)
- Bioshock (both games)
- Fallout 3
- Legend of Zelda (whole series, especially MM)
And plenty more that I've missed :3

EDIT: This does include licensed music right? Otherwise, scratch Bioshock and Fallout :(
DOUBLE EDIT: How did I miss Metal Gear Solid?! Add that :D

I absolutely adore the music that Shoji Meguro comes up with. He manages to get the music just right to fit the mood of the game he's working for.

Example of one of my personal favorites of a song that plays during battle. From Persona 3.

This made battles a million times more fun than they would be without the music :D

Secondly I love sense of urgency in the final battle of Catherine. :D Even if it is just a remix of a classic. x3
