To me music is one of the most important features to a game. I would post some examples of my favorites. but I cant be asked right now, and most of them don't have names anyways.
For now I'll just say that my all time favorite is Duskhour from TS QUICK_EDIT
Not a fan to be honest. There are very few tracks/songs from games that are good enough to attract my attention, I like a lot of the techno/heavy songs from the Sonic series however. But I prefer my bands 100%, And One, Disturbed, Three 6 Mafia, Twiztid, I.C.P. etc.
This is probably the best example of game music I can come across (I don't play a lot of games at all, never really been much of a gamer).
FF VII had some good music but it was really only the battle music. While FF VI, VIII, and IX had the best FF music in my opinion.
But needless to say some of the most catchy music ever came from Megaman...
oh and if anyone hasn't already listened to the NESkimos I highly suggest them as a good game music cover band.
Oh and a good Internet Radio Channel (which I found using my Internet Radio on my PSP) is Radio GOSU it's 24/7 video game music and play a good bit of Castlevania, Megaman, Final Fantasy (they play a good bit of the Piano Collection stuff too which is interesting to hear), and essentially any music from any game on any console is likely to pop up along with bands like NESkimos, Project Majestic Mix, and a few other game music cover bands. Though the names I mentioned are ones you will likely at least hear a song from them at least once per hour. _________________ Kalistia Crestland (2)

The Lost World for PSX had an amazing musical score done by a live orchestra. Really spectactular, probably my favorite game soundtrack of all time. DOOM as well had a spectacular score, drawing riffs from metal greats such as Pantera and Metallica. Metal Gear as well. All three are, in my opinion, a pinnacle of video game music. _________________ Victory! QUICK_EDIT
Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles, Resident Evil 2, C&C, Tomb Raider, Rome Total War and Doom are all games off the top of my head that have great soundtracks. Of course with games theres those that have soundtracks that are great ingame, and those that work equally out of game.
But yes, music is very important in games, just as it is in film. QUICK_EDIT

DOOM-Final DOOM and Quake 1 strike me as having brilliant music.
The energetic tracks of DOOM still make me want to kill demons and Quake's dark and atmospheric tracks help greatly add to the levels.
CNC, I don't feel I need to discuss, but CNC, Red Alert 1 and Red Alert 2 were great as well. _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90

IMO, music can really improve game atmosphere. Personally, I collect game music. Halo is another truly brilliant soundtrack. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
