I guess some of the music that i hum all day must be:

The Zelda theme from any of the Early gameboy games.

The Mario theme from Super Mario brothers on the NES.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of The Seven Stars: The music on any of the boss battles such as Mack or Yaridovich.

Conkers Bad Fur DAy: The main theme song.

And the intro/theme song to GTA III.

I like a lot of video game music, especially pretty much all of the songs from the first four Sonic the Hedgehog games. Right now I'd have to say that my three favorite video game songs [that I can remember right now] are Labyrinth Zone, Launch Base Zone, and Sky Sanctuary Zone, all from various Sonic games.




Posted by coromoro

I just love music from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Earthbound, Tales of Symphonia, and just about everything from the Mario games.

I dont like that kind of music from games like that. I barely care for music that much so I could not say witch songs I like best. True Crime Streets of L.A. has good music, same with GTA SA, I dont have any of the games you guys listed so I would not know if they were good to me or not. But I do like some of the music from Zelda orcana of time.




Posted by Concerto

Final Fantasy III/VI. ^(^^)^

MegaMan 2 and the first two MegaMan X games some good music, too. ToS has great music... Both Golden Sun games... Most Final Fantasy games (I especially liked the music for the ones on the SNES)... Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross...

... This could become a long list. ^^;




Posted by Scorpion

All the songs from Legend of Zelda OoT and Legend of Zelda MM. Those songs just make me feel good for some strange reason.




Posted by Iris

Sonic games have nice ones. So do most Square-Enix games that I've played.




Posted by Knightmare0999

All of the Final Fantasy games from VII on and the N64 incarnations of Zelda.




Posted by maian



OOT's music was great, MM's was superior. Majora's Mask has the best music in any game I've played. Just listening to it makes me want to go through and replay the whole thing. Every song in there is good, with a possible exception of Snowfall temple.




Posted by Admiral Anthrax

The Mario and Zelda games, for their classic tracks, but Secret of Mana's soundtrack, while not the most elaborate, is amazing, and really adds to the flavor of the game.




Posted by Iris

Yay for Secret of Mana! Now go buy Sword of Mana!




Posted by Dark Link

MOST of the music I like is from the NES/SNES/N64 games.
I like SOME GBA/GCN/PS2 music, but it's the music from the old days that I somehow get reminded of.
Plus I'll even listen to them again while on the computer

Super mario RPG and fire emblem for GBA.




Posted by bazariah

Posted by Fiindil

Sonic's Green Hill Zone music, also the music from Super Mario Bro's for the GB




Posted by Dandelion

The Zelda and Final Fantasy music ^_^




Posted by Dexter

I have always enjoyed the euphonious tunes from my Banjo-Kazooie soundtrack that I won for some best Star Fox score competition many years ago.




Posted by booyah719

I like everything already listed. Wind Waker's "Cursed Ocean" theme is excellent; when it's eternal night and raining.
Ocarina of Time: Temple of Time, Water Temple, King Dodongo/Volvagia Theme
Majora's Mask - Clock Town: Day 3, Last End (when you have 12 hours left)and Woodfall Temple
FFVII: One Winged Angel (Orchestrated), Cid's Theme, Steal the Tiny Bronco!
Super Mario RPG: Smithy's Themes (Both of them)
Fallout 2
Everquest Main Theme




Posted by gamecorner

i like songs from
halo
kingdom hearts
super mario
zelda
mega man(boss battles)
metroid




Posted by Bebop

Mario 64 had some nice ones. y top being Dire Dire Docks as it's so peaceful. This isnt my favorite however, I'm just stating it. Lost Woods was a catchy one too but again not my favorite. I can't think what my favorite is right now.




Posted by Bubblez

Life Force on the NES is one of my favourite soundtracks ever. Other beautiful music is in Mr. Nutz (S-NES), Donkey Kong Country 2 (S-NES), one of the melodies in Tetris (NES), Castlevania SotN (PS1), Castlevania (PS2) and of course Final Fantasy VII (PS1)




Posted by Mixhael

Maniac Mansion (NES)




Posted by TendoAddict

I like most of the Chrono thrigger sound track plus most themes from early classic videogames. But I really like the music in Bajo-Kazooie games because they really know how to make the music mach the level perfectly.




Posted by Speedfreak

Terranigma's music hands down, it's got the best music of any RPG I've ever played, all the music suits each situation absolutely perfectly. Before I played the game my favourite videogame music was Chrono Trigger's, that just shows how good it is. There's so many different tracks in the game I'm amazed they fit them all in.

It's a shame no remixers have given it much notice on OCRemix, we could sure do with some. Better than the 20 Zeal remixes at any rate.




Posted by Bebop

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle makes good use of music. It's not game music in the conventional sense but most tunes really lay that funky beat down!




Posted by Cloudstud

My favorite soundtrack is definitely final fantasy 7. My favorite being the world map music. I love that song and i listen to it all the time.




Posted by Cell

i dont really remember sonic from my younger days but i know for fact i used to own the one on genises. But as of now my favorite game music is in this order:
1.Kingdom Hearts-Simple and Clean
2.FFX-Zanarkand
3.Budokai 3-Intro Song
4.FFX-Battle Music
5.Kingdom Hearts-Open




Posted by D.J Cat

My favourite music would easily be from Jet Force Gemini.

Just about every level had epic music that really put you in the situation and added to the atmosphere.
And then there was the funky disco music....:D

The music on the "Water Ruin" level is the single best music piece in a game by my opinion.


A few other good games with music....

The Zelda games:
Great Bay (Majora's Mask)
Dragon Roost Island (Wind Waker)
The Introduction music on Ocarina of Time still does the job.


Super Mario 64
Dire Dire Docks, as mentioned, just peaceful, and just something...
Final Bowser music.


Just about every part of Diddy Kong Racing had great music.
Very addictive in most parts.
My favourite is Darkmoon Caverns.


Metroid Prime.
In a word: Atmosphere.
The Chozo Ruins is great for thinking out what you should be doing. After a while it may even start to freak you out...you may know what I mean.

Magmoor Caverns, the music here very much feels just right. It "feels" like hard work, heat, and maximum productivity from whoever works in the place.

Phendrana Drifts...just really good, relaxing, in a way. The remix version of it is brilliant too.
I won't say any more cause I don't want to spoil any part of the game.




Posted by G-Sides

Every single song from Earthbound. That game, being one of the best RPGs already, has one of the best soundtracks in any video game ever. (3rd Gygas fight music PWNZ J00.)

Hear, hear. :) That's exactly what I was going to say. EB has by far my favorite soundtrack of any game I've ever played.

Legend of Zelda: OoT
This Machine-Sonic Heroes
Team Chaotix-Sonic Heroes
Live and Learn-SA2:B
Casino Zone-Sonic the Hedgehog 2




Posted by -Shadow-

Just about anything from any Sonic game is usually quite catchy. And of course, the main theme from Super Mario Bros. 1.




Posted by TendoAddict

I also like the songs from SSB:M because it takes alot of classics and really make them ear candy. I really like the instrumental Kirby theme that they have on the dream fountain stage because they do such a great job on it.




Posted by sephiroth_theunborn

I got to say the CastleVania and slient hill music was just great and some of the best out there for game music.




Posted by The Last Man

halo 2
when u kill the scarab, the bit on the e guitar




Posted by kyubi

My favorite song from a video game is still the Yoshi's Island banjo song. I just can't get it out of my head.

Final Fanatsy 6 - Every song on the sound track is awesome

Final Fantasy 7 - Yeppers, again.
Final Fantasy Tactics - Even better than 4 or 7. Not 6.

Posted by LagunasSweetling

Chrono Chross has beautiful music... I have great respect for Yasunori Mitsuda =)
But specific songs?
I like the orchestrated versions of most final fantasy songs. Especially One-Winged Angel from final fantasy VII. And I can still rock to Otherworld from FFX.
And I still love the secret of mana opening theme... I used to just turn on my snes to listen to it lol.




Posted by veritas

I like Super Smash Bro's Music. It has a variety of it. I really like Saria's theme (Young Link's song)




Posted by holy_flare

Well, for PS2, it would have to be FFX-2.
For GCN, Tales of Symphonia.
For the NDS, Mario Kart DS
For the GBA, either FF Advance (I think that's what it's called) or Tales of Phantasia
For the Gameboy, Pokemon Green/Yellow/Blue
For the N64, SBK and SBK2
For any other system, I have no idea.

My favorite all time video game soundtrack is hands down Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It has classical piano, hard rock and roll, vocal choruses, and captures the essense of both classic video game music and newer symphonic production values. That always has permanence on my iPod!

My other top favorites include...

Final Fantasy 7 for it's melodies
LifeForce for it's retro raves
Megaman 2 for it's pop beats
Katamari Damacy for it's wacky variety
Guitaroo Man - nothing like the beeman stage anywhere else
Streets of Rage - cool 16 bit hip hop
Silent Hill 2 - dark ambient sounds
Super Adventure Island - freestyle jams

:p:




Posted by Domino

I liked the soundtrack in Burnout 3: Takedown. That is all.




Posted by GunstarSuperHero

Most anything super-nintendoish, i.e. Sege, SNES, GBA.
Also enjoy Banjo Kazooie/Tooie music




Posted by Sephiroth89

Devils Never Cry-Devil May Cry
The One Winged Angel-Kingdom Hearts
The old school NES mario music.




Posted by Klarth

[quote=Sephiroth89]
The One Winged Angel-Kingdom Hearts
Most overrated track ever. Nobou Uematsu is an idiot and his music is unbearably pretentious.

I loved the hell out of the Chrono Trigger, Radical Dreamers, Chrono Cross and Xenogears soundtracks.




Posted by Random

Final Fantasy VII

or any Zelda game.




Posted by Xero

I gotta say the music of FF is great, but the one in perfect dark is more...stimulating.




Posted by adamhalo

My all-time video game music would be from Final Fantasy VII

Posted by ccrocker58

I think there's really three songs that I find myself humming to throughout the day;

Standard Boss Music from Final Fantasy VII (or "Still More Fighting"...I think it's called, from the soundtrack)

Rufus' Celebration Song from Final Fantasy VII

The original Super Mario Bros. theme




Posted by ad_man63

Mario Paty - Credits
Earthbound - Winters (probably my favorite)
FFVI - Setzer's Theme
FFVIII - Fisherman's Horizon
Zelda: Majora's Mask - All the Clock Town music
Harvest Moon 64 - Winter
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Chemical Plant




Posted by Destructoid

Heh, I was humming Airman from megaman 2 at work today, wasn't even thinking about it, and my friend turned to me and simply said "you're such a dork"

Busted!
