The DEFINITE Video Game Music Awesomeness Thread
Now, I'm gonna go a tad close here. I love music. That's a given. As I play the guitar, I love to hear its chords screaming loudly. But besides regular music, I absolutely respect music that was made for video games.
That's why I created this thread. The DEFINITE Video Game Music Awesomeness Thread (DVGMAT) is the place to share your personal selections of the best scores in Gaming history, even if it was composed by legends like Koji Kondo (Mario Bros; Legend of Zelda series) or Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy series). Even if the game's unknown or an indie game, feel free to post them! We're all ears. =)
I'm gonna start with a few:

I don't have so many songs as you. But right now, the only and my favorite Song ever created in Gaming history is HIS WORLD and the Zebrehead version is even cooler!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vETpDp0-W5c
This song really kiks ass.
It's amazing how the worst sonic game ever to be created had such an awsome song. The music was sertenly next gen.

Tails' Skypatrol was worse. Much much worse.Biggest sonic fan wrote:It's amazing how the worst sonic game ever to be created had such an awsome song.
Anyway, one of my favorite non-SEGA original videogame tunes has to be Dire Dire Rocks from Super Mario (64) DS. I ran into a few remixes of the classic instrumental and there are a few good ones and one with mixed reactions (interestingly the mixed one for me is the official one). Here's the links:
Calm Waters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vtSHKE3 ... re=related
Water World: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrcEvj_k ... re=related
Dance Dance Remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qmcfmTH ... re=related

And I thought Sonic Labirith sucked.
You know, Sonic 2's Oil ocean zone really fitted it's area. And the Remix is so cool!

As for my suggestions.. Anything from Rez is a given, especially Area 5:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMMWwqwRggQ
There are many others, and I'll refrain from Sonic, as there are so many I love there.
Run! Canabalt Theme from Canabalt
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCKvdBDq5L8
Canabalt is a small Flash game developed by one person. The music is awesome though, and really fits the game.
Sabers Edge from Final Fantasy XIII
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsG80RGxzNM
Regardless of what you think of the game, the boss theme is just so epic.

And that music from Canabalt is from the same guy who did Super Meat Boy's soundtrack and Knuckleduster, which makes justice to his quality. :b
