Well, going with a few that haven't been mentioned yet.
Also, there's this handy playlist [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB1DA969E8C03AD7B&feature=plcp] of all the all the HoMM town-themes on youtube. I've got that one bookmarked
Since I'am at it, my personal favourite from HoMM4:
You might also want to try HoMM 2. Has a low production quality due to limitations at the time - but it has opera singers insteadaxlryder said:

To me, Final Fantasy VII has like, obviously the best soundtrack ever.
But a good obscure recommendation is the overlooked SNES classic Terranigma.

I'm gonna have to throw in another vote for Bastion. By god that game's music is amazing.
Before that though, my favorite was Halo: ODST. It had easily the most unique music of any in the series, which is known for having quite good music. A sort of fusion of jazz and orchestral, very moody.

In my opinion, the Shatter OST has some really good tracks on it.
My favorite from the sound track:
EDIT:
However, there will always be a special place in my heart for Secret of Mana's "Flight into the Unknown." Below is the original song and an awesome metal cover.

If game music is your thing and you haven't already, check out OC Remix. There's a massive range of tracks on there from arious games nd composers, well worth checking out.
And favourite OSTs for me would be most of the Final Fantasy series, Wild Arms and Dragon Age. Origins over 2, I think, but Inon Zur has a knack for epic.

While not original, the most powerful use of music I've seen in a game was in Homeworld. You just finish taking the mothership out for a test run, and return to your planet only to find it destroyed and burning to the tune of a choral version of Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" (made popular by the movie Platoon). It sends chills down my spine.
I love loads of soundtracks (in fact soundtracks, Classical, Blues and miracle of sound are the only things I listen to any more!) but here's three off my favourites
I love the soundtracks for InFamous 2, but this track is wonderful
Mass Effect 3 is an amazing soundtrack that Sam Hulick should be justly proud of
I love all of the AC soundtracks but this piece from the end of Ezio's story makes me tear up

I think I've seen this thread before in some form or other.
And a few others, but those are the main ones. I tend to like those sort of uplifting empowering types.

The Final Fantasy games have some really good ones, I feel. Dancing Mad in FFVI and Memoria in FFIX are a couple which give great atmosphere and characterisation.
I also searched through Youtube a few weeks ago for some old Spyro the Dragon music for a nostalgia trip and was blown away by the standard of music for a child's video game way back then. I think each level was given its own individual track distinct from others (in the PAL version at least) that suits the environment while staying varied and catchy. Some of its nostalgia, probably, but the sound for the game is definitely one of its best parts. Don't know how to paste a link in, but try searching for Icy Cavern or Haunted Towers for some good examples.

Oh godf. Everything on that soundtrack is absolutely sublime. I mean WOW. Thank you so much. While I'd heard of the mod through the folks over at facepunch I'd never known about the brilliance of the soundtrack.Bealzibob said:
All of the Mega Man Zero games had good albums, particularly 3 and 4. I really love the Demon's Crest OST, but much like the game itself it's not for everyone:
You're all talking HoMM music and no ones even mentioned 5's haven theme yet? Tisk tisk. 5 Might not have been the best of the series, but the soundtrack was excellent!Dajosch said:You might also want to try HoMM 2.

The main title theme was also spectacular. Seriously, first time I booted the game up I just sat there gawping like an idiot till the music was done. Probably one of the best 'title' screen out there too for what it's worth.
The game was pretty terrible, if I remember correctly, but the soundtrack for Advent Rising is absolutely amazing.
Not a single mention of either Metroid Prime or Baten Kaits: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean?
I'd pay a silly amount of cash to anyone that can get me a CD of the latter. :x
The latter game had some silly hard bosses :x. That, and some luck really decided your battles :x. But that combat <3.
