OK, the deal is, instead of just posting the games with your favourite music, list some of your favourite tracks/themes/songs. I'll throw a bunch of my favourites, but not all, of course. Here they are:
- Wild Arms intro: Best. PSX. Intro.
- Dracula Castle (track 6 of Castlevania SOTN): Whenever I hear this one, I stop what I'm doing and just listen.
- One Winged Angel (Orchestrated version)(FVII): From someone in FFVII, I know you know who.
- Battle theme during the Laguna parts (FFVIII): It's the best battle theme ina any FF and one of the best battle themes of any rpg. ("Look mom, I'm saying good things about FFVIII")
- Q's theme (SFIII: TS): Great, super, excellent!!
- You're not Alone! (FFIX): It's the music that plays during the best FFIX scene, which is also one of the best scenes in any FF, btw.
- Bland Logo - Title Back (FFT): The first intro of FFT, it's just great.
- Vagrant Story main theme: It's the end of the intro music of the game, when the title shows.
- Gerudo Valley (original version)(LoZ: OoT): The spanish guitar in it makes me stay in the Gerudo Valey more than in other places. Sneaking in the fortress is another reason, of course...
- GGX Ky theme: Well, it's my favourite beween the GGX selection and that's saying much...
- Skullkid theme (LoZ: MM): Creepy and cool.
etc, etc, etc... The list could go forever.

Let's put some western ones too, for variety:
- Monkey Island, main theme. Nuff' said.
- FFIV prologue, FF Theme, Pray, you name it. You know which one I mean...
- That's Death!, Discworld 2 
- A pirate I was meant to be, The Curse of Monkey Island. too.
- Somnia Memorias, PE (wanna play the game  )
- Mambo de Chocobo, FFV and FF Mix album. The Mix album version rocks, best chocobo theme ever.
- Still in the dark, from the GGX Arranged album (not the vocal version)
- Momentary Life, same as above
- Awe of She, idem
- Main Theme/Tina, FFVI. Couldn't take it out of my head since the very first time I heard it.
- Rusty Anchor, Grim Fandango. for the 3rd time.
- Vamo' allá Flamenco!, FFIX. So great, the orchestra version in the 20020220 album is even better!
- Olive Village, ToP. First time I got there  , then . I loved it!
- Space Quest, main theme. A great parody of the "standard space opera theme". And good enough for itself.
And a host of others, but guess it's enough for today...
Himawari chan ain't she cute?
Stick a fork in us we're done.

I guess doing a few wouldn't hurt anything, either.
In no particular order:
Super Contra-Death Bed- Best alien lair theme EVER.
Shin Contra-Destiny Confrontation: Amazing and very heavy, too.
Samurai Tamashii-Yuga's theme: Sitar-licious.
King of the Monsters 2-Kilikili's theme: Ha ha ha, I know this is an odd choice, but I like this song a lot.
FF 7: Mako reactor theme. So evil.
KOF '96: Geese's theme, arranged. I like this a lot, it's almost the "archetypal" version of Geese's theme for me..
KOF '95: Korea team theme arranged-Excellent, and fitting for their stage. I think the actual song suits Chang and Choi very well, too.
The Legend of Zelda - main theme
Capcom vs. SNK 2 - True Love Making (whatever it's called, England stage)
"Someday we'll find it the rainbow connection..." -Kermit The Muppet Movie
Hungry Like the Wolf

Man, this would take a lot of time and effort to respond to properly...
Well the point of the thread isn't to post them all, that's impossible... just throw a few ones you like.
Here go some more from me, although some have been listed already:
- Take up the Cross (Tales of Phantasia) (arranged version): Another candidate for best battle music on an rpg. Thanks to Rid for showing me this version.
- Soul Blade/Edge intro: Best PSX CG intro, all because it's marvelous music.
- Last Blade 2 intro (the long one): The best intro music of a MVS game, and one of the best fighting game intros.
- Magus Theme (Chrono Trigger): How did I forget this one!! This is the best music that could be done for Magus.
- Chrono Cross intro: I like most of the soundtrack, but I haven't the game and don't know the track names, so I post this one, that's easy to spot.
- Tina/Terra's theme (FFVI): Probably the best theme of FFVI, and that's saying a lot.
- Terranigma's intro: Specially after the clock stops.
- Illusion of Time/Gaia map theme: Preciously composed, it's so long that you won't hear it completely if you don't stop a moment, because travels take very little time in the game.
And again, etc, etc, etc...

OH hey.. I love a lot of those, too. Especially "You're not Alone", GGX Ky's theme, Gerudo Valley (LOVE the "spanish guitar"), and the Vagrant Story theme. ^_^ Woot.. and I'm glad to see someone else has a love for the spanish guitar!

Zanac X Zanac - there are cool tributes to classic games. And then there is Zanac X Zanac.
Hitman Codename 47 - shockingly cool, goes so nicely with the menu interface that it makes you want to get into the profession. Hitman 2 had the grander, more movie-classic Latin mass choir + ominous orchaestra, but Hitman 47 had the more innovative song.
Glove on Fight - maybe it's just the intro animation that makes it so special ;)
Wai Wai Racing - wai wai wai wai wai wai RACING!!! ALRIIIIGHT! wai wai wai wai wai wai RACING!!! nooo it haunts MY DREAMS!!! The best GBA song so far.
Super Mario Bros. 1/2/3 - unforgettable.
Ninja Gaiden 1/2/3 - dramatic and then some.
Clox (Famimaga disk) - inspired Famicom music.
Knight Move (the Famicom one) - the themes... are... HILARIOUS...
Falsion - i'm not sure what exactly is THE theme song for this game, but the title is pretty stirring; there's nothing, you hit start, and then it goes "DU-DUHN!" Boss theme rocked.
Gyruss (NES/Famicom) - Bach ReMix!!! The main mission theme is too good!
Street Fighter Alpha 2 - the theme for the level for the showdown between Sagat and Ryu stands out in my mind because of how the music is synchronized with the lightning flashes in the background...
One Must Fall 2097 - memorable theme song.
City Connection - 1st Stage theme is far far too good.
No One Lives Forever 1 - better title song IMO than NOLF2.
Unreal Tournament - more edge and less pomp than the UT2k3 title.
Intelligent Qube - almost cliched, striking, movie-like theme.
Persona 2 Eternal Punishment - any theme is a good theme from this game.
Syndicate Wars - sweetest cyberpunk.
from now on, all Mortal Kombat games should simply draw on the Mortal Kombat movie theme song because that song is irrevocablly linked with Mortal Kombat.
Live A Live - the Western Chapter theme song... finest rendition of Spaghetti Western in midi I have ever heard.
Serious Sam Second Encounter - the theme for the final section of the game is one of the most heroic, stirring pieces I have ever heard.

Zelda, ocarina of time, end theme (Basically a mix of all the themes in the game.) I love it but it's such a sad theme, because, it really makes you feel that the "saga" is over, and you've done everything, now it's time to say goodbye.
Then there is a ton of KOF songs. Someone mentioned funky esaka. WTF! That's the worst Esaka ever, one of the worst KOF themes period. Well, IMO, anyway. 99 Esaka (acid remix) favorite Esaka.
SFA2 Australia (special Sagat stage) is also very cool. And Sakura's stage.
CvS1, Kyo versus Ryu theme
CvS2, Gouki remix

Allright, here are MY choices! And we all know that MY choices are...uhm...MY CHOICES! HAH! SO THERE! In no particular order:
Unreal Tournament - Razorback, by Peter "Skaven" Hajba. The oft-imitated-never-duplicated- tracker of the mid 90s strikes back with hard rocking guitars. Even if the beta release before the game was ever conceived was better. :)
Radiant Silvergun - Stage 2C, the entrance of the snake boss. BEAUTIFUL change of pace. Just MELTS me.
Vagrant Story - The intro to the game, from infiltration to first boss attack. More Sakimoto goodness. Beautfiul conception, wonderful structure, great entrances.
Guardian Heroes - The first boss fight in the cemetary, when the big guy runs amok. Great cheesy synth and a wailing sax solo that just makes me feel all warm and fluffy inside. Absolutely corny, but great nonetheless.
Final Fantasy Tactics - Opening. The quick animated intro into the title screen. My first real taste of Sakimoto. The brass line that strikes just before the title screen pops up is just genius. It's simple...yet daring.
Puyo Puyoun - The multiplayer music. Doo-doo-doo-DOO! A tune that has quickly become TERRIBLY obnoxious...but also terribly memorable. An actual snippet of a conversation with me and some of my Puyo Puyo friends: "By the way...doo-doo-doo-DOO!" "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The Carbuncle theme from Puyo Puyo Sun is also damn fun.
Napple Tale - Snowball. What an amazing piece of level music. Gentle strings, bass, light melodic percussion, and synths...mix together...and SWELL! It's so dynamic, it's almost not good level music...but MAN! It FEELS so darn good. Also from...
Napple Tale - Midori no Hane. Just damn beautiful. Absolutely simple, yet so sophisticated harmonically. It GOES places, which is so absolute necessary for the still pictures that it accompanies. As you can probably guess, I really enjoy Kanno Youko.
Puyo Puyo Sun - The intro. The music is so darn fun when the animation gets to the ever fun "Photoshop filter" runthrough. And the brass right after that is pretty darn memorable too.
Albert Odyssey Gaiden - Introduction of the love theme. Not terribly well conceived, but a really darn good melody. Good old Naoko Takahashi. It's too bad she isn't doing stuff these days.
Panzer Dragoon Saga - The entrange of the dragon. The three note horn and brass theme. Structurally, the whole beginning of the game soundtrack leads up to that single second of sound. Absolutely wonderful. I cannot speak of that entrance more highly. Just great game making and great music making coming together. WONDERFUL.
Starfox - The space level soundtracks. Almost nothing in terms of sequencing or sample sophistication, but pretty damn persuasive in creating the feeling of being in an epic space opera. Asteroid belt and Space Armada have just GREAT ideas in them. I'd LOVE to hear a 100+ piece orchestra do the Space Armada music.
Samurai Shodown III - Rimururu's theme. I honestly think it's NOT good in the game. Or even in the AST. But the theme makes a DAMN fine impetus for some bebop jazz. I've been meaning to rerecord what I did in high school, but it's a struggle finding anyone willing to do this... :\ Maybe I should just sequnce the thing...but... :\
The Queen Of Heart 99 SE - Comic mode Ayaka. Speaking of jazz, what a GREAT idea in this background stage. It's too bad they could have extended it with some more random solos by someone other than the keys. Great fun, though.
Super Street Fighter II Turbo (Eurocom) - Guile's stage remixed. The remix music for the PC and 3DO versions...BOOM! Some of it is merely okay. Others like Guile's, make want to scream "YES!" It's just...COOL! Synth and guitar goodness! Terribly fun!
Rez - Area 1. Darn cohesive. It FEELS right. A perfect lead in to a GREAT game.
And to end this already long list: "You're the one that makes me feel so high! (Just like a diamond in the sky!)" "So take me away from this cause this palce I'll hardly miss!" "So many people all around! So many feeling to be found! Living in a city where no one lets you down! Living in the city! You know you have to survive! Living in the city! You've got to keep that dream alive!" "Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day? (Brighten up your DAY!) Don't you feel that sometimes you just need to run away? (You just need to run away!!)"
(If you don't know what I'm talking about, shame on you!)
More as I think of them. ^^;;;;;;;;;;;;

"damn you, Time Mage!!!" 
(or at least, that's what I understand 
). Yeah, that one from '98 is great too.
