Cave Story definitely stands out for me as the best music I can remember from any game I've played.

I'd say the best two from Cave Story are Safety

and Last Battle,

the latter of which has this amazing this remix
Youtube VideoHonorable mention goes to the Silph Co theme from Pokemon Red/Blue.
I hope naming this many isn't cheating

I have to be picky on these since I listen to a lot of video games soundtracks.
First choice belong to my favorite series, Fallout.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZZKzJTGI9E
Fallout soundtracks always were highly atmospheric, but this one, holy moly. I love The Glow itself and its theme. These two have a certain level of mystery - the quest related to The Glow is given by the Brotherhood of Steel and in order to enter their basement you have to found a lost patrol. So this zone is all about mood and discovery - and this is why this area/OST stands as (I guess) my favorite area and soundtrack.My second choice goes for Jet Set Radio -again one of my favorite games- and I can't really decide which tracks pick since they are all great in their own manners.

Mega Man 2, just Mega Man 2.
The 8-bit era was the first with really great music, and it was at an economy of instruments an simultaneous instruments. MM2 is easily the best of that era. Everything else is just fluff added to existing greatness.

A lot of great picks, I want to add a couple, glad Celtic Moon was mentioned
FFV probably has the most underrated sound track, at least for me

@ACardAttack FFV is definitely underrated. Great soundtrack, great game. I loved its job system, but wish it made it a little easier to grind.

On a rainy, sad day like this one.. There is only one song that I need to listen to.

Silent Hill 2's Theme of Laura. Favourite video game theme that hasn't already been posted, and favourite theme to play on the guitar. So damned good.

I also love all the songs Chuck Ragan did for The Flame and the Flood. Haven't played the game yet, but a lot of the songs ring true. Folk is a very underused genre in almost any visual medium, so it's super refreshing to see him do such great work on a video game.

was just listening to the last story soundtrack its got some great tunes especially the main theme

Hey so I've been seeing a lot of love for the Nier soundtrack pop up recently around the internet. I'm currently listening to it as I do some research and it's flooring me. I've stopped numerous times to check out what song is playing. I'm not being efficient at all. Any song suggestions for me if I'm liking what I hear? My favorite song thus far is Song of the Ancients Devola, which @bard91 actually suggested a while back but I foolishly never got around to. There really hasn't been a single miss yet, though. The whole soundtrack is just an incredible mix of ethereal, orchestral, and mechanical. Absolutely unreal.
