I love video game music. I currently own close to 10,000 video game songs and my collection is growing every time I play a new game.

I enjoy the nostalgia that comes with listening to video game songs. Reminds me of all the good times I spent playing those games, and the music is great too!

Posting every song I like would take forever so, I'll post the games that had music I liked and one, or more, song for each.

But what about you? What are the games you've played that had music you thought was absolutely awesome?

Final Fantasy 6.  The whole soundtrack.  Yes, even THAT one. Best. Video. Game. Music. Ever.

FF6 was very good, but the full orchestral score of FFTactics is by far my favorite of all the FFs.

I bought the first Quake game just for the soundtrack.

Smooth McGroove is pretty cool. I also like 331erock. He doesn't do exclusively video game covers, but most of his covers are cool. I love this one.

Gah, the Front Mission shop tune; I'd enjoy it if I hadn't sunk hours into sifting through all those Wanzer parts...

Some of the 7th Saga BGMs were decent, but none of them came close to redeeming that game of its brutal hostility toward the player.

Not that it needed any improvement to begin with, but SSH's remix of The Fierce Battle tops my list.

Other entries:
Gundam Wing: Endless Duel: Heavyarms stage BGM
Kirby Super Star: the first Gourmet Race tune and Marx's boss music
"Okkusenman" (wacky-ish remix of Mega Man 2's Wily castle music)
Super Metroid: all of it, start to finish.
Xenosaga: Communication Breakdown, Promised Pain, and Pain (vocals)
...and pretty much anything Yuki Kajiura had a hand in.

You do end up hearing it a lot, but still a very good one, always loved it.

And now another game to the list, just finished playing it yesterday.

Love the part that starts around 1:00.

Just burned through Heavy Rain in the last couple of days.

Excellent score.

I like the big top songs in ddo.. and the cove music is alright yoo

so many good games on that list, dist

if i bothered with a real reply it would mostly be a rehash of your OP

I quite like the music from Bioshock

I bought the last Humble Bundle (11) specifically for the Giana Sisters soundtrack.

Leisure Suit Larry - striptease music! Wahahahaha!

FF8 - Eyes on Me, if you can stand the horrible English =D

DDO - the music from In The Flesh. Gets me chills and gives an adrenaline rush at the same time.

Baldur's Gate - it grew on me after all the hours I spent playing that awesome, awesome game.
