Yep. VGM FTW.

I really like the FFX soundtrack though. The Seymour Omnious fight song is just awesome.
San Andreas Sountrack FTW too.

I love game music. But what's commercially available often...isn't good.

Unfortunately, the CDs usually aren't complete. Or, if they are complete the songs don't loop. I'd love to buy game music CDs, but...they're not good :c

I think games has some of the best music out there.
That.

I have to say I often enjoy listening to scores from games and films more so than mainstream music.

Harry Gregson Williams who does the scores for the MGS series is an amazing composer, without his music MGS cut scenes would be no way near as good. Same with Boss fights.

I love Koji Kondo. Nintendo's prime composer.

Ocarina anyone? Surprised it's only mentioned once in this topic.
The music was the only thing I liked about OoT. But I mean I literally loved the ost.
The windmill song, man I can listen to it for ages.

There is a bunch of games. I listen to music so much and a lot of it's from animes/games.

I happen to love the end of Fatal Frame II.
And Phantom Brave's OST.
Also Final Fantasy music.
And of course .hack music. 8D

Anything that's good really.

For anyone who likes the music used in the Kingdom Hearts series, I recommend listening to some of the music used in Super Mario RPG & Mario & Luigi series as Yoko Shimomura is the composer of those series. Especially the Elder Princess Shroob Battle from Mario & Luigi Partners in Time, it is an epic song on par with music used in KH in my opinion.

Video Game music may see a rise in popularity now thats its more than just musical beeps. Even fully orchestrated & sung music has been implemented since the PS1 era and getting more common.

But seriously, I have the complete Final Fantasy discog. 4.5gigs of some good music, some bad.

Silent Hill is pwn. Also, Chrono Cross/Trigger.
Freedom is the freedom to say two plus two equals four. If that is granted all else will follow.

There needs to be a "depends on the game" option, because I don't pay attention to the soundtrack of all the games I play. I mostly only listen to Halo soundtrack (because they make it so noticable) and any Pokemon and Metroid game's soundtrack. Particularly, GSC and Super Metroid/Metroid Prime.

I'm a fan of some video game music, especially from street fighter. Guile's theme just kicks so much ass.

But most notably, I would have to say that Laura's theme from Silent Hill 2 is probably one of the most beautifully composed pieces of music ever.

I like Super Smash Brothers music, Kirby music, and a ton of songs from PS1 games.

Like someone said before, basically every game that Square Enix has made has had a great soundtrack ; who doesn't love listening the Sephiroth's theme (Not One Winged Angel, the other one lol) whenever he makes his appearances in FFVII?

Also, of course, the Kingdom Hearts series, I love hearing the Organization XIII theme.

Last but not least, Guilty Gear. All throughout that series, the soundtracks for each of the games were comprised of great sounding original themes, and it just sounded great in general.

To be honest, I've only listened to video game music when I play it, and that's about it.

It never did appealed to me, even if it helps set the background and mood of a game. That means that it would be very hard to find a video game music in my iTunes unless I had it before the song was included in a specific game.

I love vidya music. It makes up almost my entire music collection. And now for awesome songs that you must listen to.

Funky Dealer (Jet Set Radio Future)
Pollyanna (Mother)
God Hand Theme (God Hand)
DiscoxPrince (We Love Katamari)
Dream Chaser (F-Zero X)
Stickerbrush Symphony (Donkey Kong Country 2)
Beyond the Bounds (Zone of the Enders)
Rave On (Killer 7)

I could go on, but that's all for now.

I is an artist.

Competitive pokemon is serious business.
