Name a game with music you find superb, give an example of its music and tell us why you think it's so great. And feel free to name (many) more than one game/song. hocuspocus;

APOLLO JUSTICE
I think that tis song fits the mood perfectly, it's suspenseful and gets you in the mood to reveal the many deep, dark secrets that the witness holds. VDood;
This should be list an official list like the list of great games
anyway
Banjo Kazooie
Banjo Tooie
Super Mario RPG
Warcraft 3
Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX, X, XII etc
Metal Gear Solid series
DOES ROCK BAND COUNT?
Definitely Shadow of the Colossus. hocuspocus;
I'm not too fond of beat'em ups, mostly because you're mashing buttons and hoping the AI is stupid this time around, but Streets of Rage 2 has a lot of great music:

Also, the NES Megaman series has the greatest music of any game series ever, and I don't see that changing any time soon.

Sonic 3 has the best music of the series and some of the best I've heard in a platformer, but that's because it was composed by Michael Jackson's crew.

Video game music. Licensed music does not count.
Zelda II was simply one of the best games on the NES, with some of the NES's greatest music to go with it.

And Lawlz already mentioned Megaman, but that game has so much fantastic music that I must mention it again. hocuspocus;

short song but oh god, it's amazing
Yeah, Zelda II's music is wonderful and the game overall is great.
Galactic Attack is a great game and the music is just decent, but the first couple of tunes are awesome.

i'd definitely say shmups have the best music of any genre. gameplay is basic, so instead of wasting money on designing generic space marines with gaping sweat pores and generally half ass voice actors, it goes straight to wonderful voice actors and music composers
And of course, Ikaruga:

I feel like I've seen this thread 4 times, because every time I've answered Civilization IV
Jet grind radio.
Space Channel 5 Parts One and Two for sure.
Super Mario Galaxy (or any Mario Adventure game)
Earthbound
Skies of Arcadia
NiGHTS into Dreams and NiGHTS Journey of Dreams
And while I've only had it like an hour...
Persona 4. thumbup;

But Phendrana Drifts is pretty great too. bassir;
Agreeing with Phendrana.
Spyro the Dragon has pretty good music. Toasty and the credits.

Not be a faggot but the only thing I really enjoyed from FF VII was the music

All of the level themes in that game are fucking great. It's one of the most solid game soundtracks ever, if you ask me.
THE KIRBY SERIES

A lot of people seem to think this song isn't "bossy" enough, and I'll admit that I thought it was a bit to cheery at first, BUT IT REALLY DOES PLAY THE PART OF BOSS SONG PERFECTLY
Especially right around :00-:20 where it sounds all dramatic. scarecrowdood;
also, yes, i realize that it skips a lot and the video sucks, but it's the best i could find from KSSU :'(

sonic rush has terrible music, and it's my main reason for not liking the game
And oh god, I just noticed I put my previous video in img tags.
