I like the soundtrack from The King of Fighters series (95, 96, and 98 being my favourites). Silent Hill has some really good music as well.

As someone who played Castlevania 1 through 4 each when they were brand new, you come to expect a certain style of music from the series. The Castlevania series has been known for its great music since the NES days, and a big reason Castlevanias 1 through 4 are often cited as having the best music for their respective systems is the unique gothic stylings of their soundtracks.
I think the first 2 games are remembered more for their music than their gameplay, actually. The music had a huge part in establishing the early Castlevania fanbase. Symphony of the Night's soundtrack is good, but it didn't sound like a Castlevania soundtrack. Well, now it does, because all the newer games have music closer in style to Symphony's.
It's the best Metroidvania (though the latest DS game comes pretty close). You can't really make a direct comparison to the stage-based games. They're different types of games.

Welp you make some good points. Can't really argue anything.
Didn't you say on DD a while back that the DKC soundtrack crushes or something to that effect? I just like a lot of music. I don't defend anything ridiculously like I used to.
Stemage (metroidmetal.com) has some cool stuff. His version of Bryyo and Phendrana Drifts are both good. Powergoat does some good castlevania mixes too.
Final fantasy music, especially 9 is great.

Who cares about Frodo bulk's opinion on VG music anyway, with the points has made in this topic it's worthless.

I partly agree and at the side of that...not.
The music is awesome even if listened outside of the game, but it's MUCH better not to, it's just not that interesting...or I'm just thinking of the Gerudo desert theme, I can't listen to that one, but I love it in the game.
Vampire - the masquerade bloodlines had pretty cool music. If I remember correctly Oblivions soundtrack wasn't too bad either.

Dimmu Borgir ripped off and made it into Sorgens Kammer.

Actually they don't have THAT awesome music, but the games itself are great.

C'mon! This is truly awesome! Don't get fooled because the sound on the DS sucks.
Not everyone owns a DS. I got lucky that my brother owns one. It is a "kinda" underrated game since ppl think it's a game for children. Still, I'm 19 and I enjoyed the game way more than my brother who's 15. I think the last time I had so much fun playing video games was 15 years ago when I recieved my SNES.

What I don't fucking understand is how people can honestly believe that someone is somehow an "antisocial" dork for listening to video game music that is fucking awesome, how is that any different than listening to other music for example movie soundtracks, etc?
People are such stupid shits.

I would never do that, I mean I listen to black metal and allkinds of other shit, even NES music, I don't care about the quality.
Some NES games have absolutely kick ass music.
