I am partial to the Halo Soundtracks particularly Halo 3.

I love what Marty O'Donnell accomplished with Halo. I was in college studying music when the game came out and it was to hear popular video game music composed not in a major or minor key, but something completely different.

Easy, classic Legend of Zelda world music, it gets stuck in my head so easy, and brings back some great memories.

I was fortunate enough to see Video Games Live! when it came to Wolf Trap in Virginia last year. It was an amazing experience and I absolutely recommend it to anyone and everyone that can go! It is absolutely worth it!

My favorite song was the Mario themes played on the piano by Martin Leung. Blindfolded. Super speed. It didn't matter. His hands moved faster than my eyes could keep up. He was mindblowing and hands down my favorite! Seeing him play live was an awesome experience.
Here is a small taste of his mastery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn2zLTQ0yaI

I would have to say the Legend of Zelda theme for old times sake as that never gets old no matter whether I hear it in the game or live on in orchestra form.

It's also great to hear the Final Fantasy themes every once in a while and Mario as well.

Either the original SMB theme, the Legend of Zelda Theme, or the DK Country music. VGL is awesome. I was privileged to see them in Seattle a couple of years ago. Best. Concert. Ever.

I'd have to say my favorite theme might also have to be the Legend of Zelda world music.

My favorite game composition would have to be World of Warcraft. That score does not get enough credit.

My pick for best game music of 2010 would have to be Red Dead Redemption.

Various zelda and mario songs. Although, I wouldnt mind some of the tunes from Kid Icarus, or Metroid (8bit) either.

On a side note, why dont they swing over to Alaska while they are touring canada? EH? I would try to go see them if they were.

It is hard for me to pick a single song. I tend to turn off the music in many game as I prefer to be in the world and all it's ambiance. There are some music that is very ingrained in my memory though.

Homeword; the music was pure emotion and completed the space opera aspect of it.

Total annihilation; Similar aspects as I mentioned for homeworld. Plus, the way it would change in and, especially, out of battle was effecting.

Command and Conquer; That guitar riff still makes me smile.

Halo; I will never forget the first time that "da da da dum, da da da dum" kicked in.

I would probably have to pick the Halo theme, since it is so iconic. Just got the Reach soundtrack for Xmas! Mass Effect also has some really great music.

The Halo theme is real nice to listen to. I have to admit, I'm fond of some of the COD sound effects too. I have some as message tones on my cell phone.

There are a lot that come to mind, but just picking one I'd have to go with the Zelda world theme too.

Easy Frog's Theme from Chrono Trigger.

--- Replying to Biohzrd451 -----

Oooh! Nice, Chrono Trigger does have some great tunes.

I'd have to say my favorite theme is "To Far Away Times" (outskirts of time in the new DS translation) from Chrono Trigger I'll be honest despite how creepy it sounds that song was the only video game song to ever make me cry.

"Dancing Mad" from Final Fantasy VI

Yes, I'm aware I can't win this.

That is such a hard question for me. I listen to a lot of videogame music and remixes. If I had to strip it all away though I'd pick the Hyrule Field theme from Ocarina of Time. Second place goes to The Synapse (Hong Kong Street) from Deus Ex.

I agree, Frog's theme from Chrono trigger. Just awesome

It's soooo hard to choose, I've played sooo many great games. But off the top of my head, I'd have to say any song from the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack ... it was EPIC!! From the first chord of the opening song, to the defeat of Bowser ... the music made the game an experience! =)

Well, I believe it would be The Legend of Zelda Overworld theme. That's the only thing I randomly whistle when I'm working on university group projects.

"KD-0079 " from King of Fighters 2002 UM

maybe megaman 2's wily fortress 1, but I really love the whole soundtrack for it, if you do too you should check out The Megas.

Saints Row 2 Pause Menu Theme

Really love the Halo theme music.

There is so much great music in games but since I must decide on one for this contest, I will say...Knights of the Old Republic for Xbox had some good music.

Kane and Lynch, the first one, title screen music. Jasper Kyd really hit it out of the park.

Best song sofar is Tune 4 from Human Race, compased by Rob Hubbard. Its timeless. Since its over 20 Years old, or maybe because of its age, its unique in style, pace and fits into the game like no other music. Today you hear artificial orchestra music in every shitty game, you cant really tell the difference between soundtracks because they all sound the same. Like Roland Emmerich Movies.

Martin Galway, my favorite composer for Gaming did his masterpiece in Green Beret, period.

Enjoy this endless tune in a Remix made by reyn.

definitely baba yetu composed by christopher tin on the civ 4 opening music.

FF4 Main Theme

FFX Besaid Island. I don't even know why.. It's just so amazing to me.

The original soundtrack for World of Warcraft and then the Wrath of the Lich King soundtrack are my favorites.

Oh, looks like my other comment might not have posted. Halo guitar riffs and Mass Effect sound track; specifically when you become a Specter.

Battle Theme from Final Fantasy 7!

There are so many good songs from video games! I do like One Final Effort from the Halo 3 soundtrack though.

The soundtrack from Killer Instinct is still my favorite

I'd have to go with the sweet tunes of Dr. Mario
