Doesn't feel like VG music, but I'm pretty sure it was made for Portal 2, and that's where I heard it first. Knocked me of my chair when I first heard it playing through a radio in a ratman's den, completely changed the feel of the game. Best musical moment in a game in years.

Easy this one for me.

Such a great soundtrack in general though (whirlwind would be a close second). Some of the shining force songs are pretty sweet too.

Every time I hear this I nostalgia so hard...If you played runescape, you will know the feeling:

Absolutely love this song and it brings me back to grade 5, having the day off school and spending that day leveling my blacksmithing so I could make full bronze...Aaahhh, good times.

Somewhat related, but someone got a full orchestra together and played a TON of songs from the Zelda series. Its all also freely available for download from their site, and its all amazing. I highly recommend the Gerudo Valley theme in the Ocarina of Time album.

My personal favorite has to go to Love Deterrence from Metal Gear Solid because it kinda feels like the song is giving me energy to do whatever.

Was gonna post this into the "best ingame video game music soundtracks" thread but it was closed, so I'll share here

. Mute City is one of my favorite songs, though I have a lot of favorities xD

Yep, Final Fantasy (series), or particularly FF7 ( I don't know all the soundtracks ofc ) since many people happen to have nostalgic memories with this milestone, which strengthens their affinity towards the music.

Also, Touhou series

Also, Super Smash Bros Brawl actually has very good arrangements. Considering that these arrangements sound good, it's quite impressive considering that not all of the songs selected to be in the game were originally good. Even within the series itself, it has improved songs.

Compare Mute City -

SSBM

SSBB

+ Show Spoiler +

And another thing about SSBB: Within the game, there are about 30 different versions of the Main Theme or Tracks focusing on a particular part of the Main Theme, each with a unique feel. Quite amazing.
And it's no surprise to me how well SSBB's soundtrack turned out considering they had so many of the top musicians from the video game industry work on it, including Final Fantasy's Nobuo Uematsu.
