For me Square has always had the best music.  In most of their games on the fantasy side.  But to pin it down I would say:

1.  Kingdom Hearts

2.  FFVI

3.  FFVIII

These 3 are the games I have the full soundtracks for and find myelf listening to them more often than others.

Would like to add, World of Warcraft would be next on that list for music.

Nobody said Zelda:Link to the Past for SNES yet? i am abashed.

Nostalgia free fall when i hear those tunes.

Omg that music was so bad, i always played that game on mute (the only game I ever did that). Terrible!!! I can still hear that dreadful music sometimes in my dreams. Worst game soundtrack ever created. (MY OPINION)

I am apalled and must resist the urge to take up arms against you sir!

That being said, the thread is about the most memorable, so if your dreaming about this music still, then it goes on your list!

Still a Win.

My favorite are:

Guild Wars

TES: Oblivion

Uncharted

I used to have the Guild Wars and Oblivion soundtracks and I listened to them when I was in a bad mood.

WoW, Lament of the Highborne  This video doesn't do the song justice though.

This ^^^^.  One of the most memorable songs and MOMENTS in a game for me.

Also  Oblivion .  I don't think there's a much better primary theme song for any game, and it's always stuck in my head.

Oh.....and Guild Wars 2 piano theme .

Those three really more than any others for me, although game soundtracks are important to me and I could probably make a much longer list of ones that have impressed me.

Final Fantasy Tactics

Ogre Battle 64

Vagrant Story

See the connection?

Age of conan

The witcher

Final fantasy X

:D

1.Donkey Kong Country 2 =)

1) A ton of musics in "Heroes of Might and Magic" musics, but this one in particular:

HOOM2 Sea theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV0mB-6Mzac (different style but HOMM4 Chaos Town http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg-PeVbuBIc&feature=related, HOOM5 Sylvan Town http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9S_2nn6OK0&feature=related)

For those interested in browsing the music of video games, check out Garudoh's The Music of Video Games on YouTube.

The most memorable music for me has been:

Doom Episode 1 Level 1 music - played that game forever and currently have several remixes of the song by various artists.

Karakorum  (Rickard Dekkard) from Auto Assault  - it was used in a lot of the earlier trailers and it comes immediately to mind when I thin kof Auto Assault or even any destructive driving.

Descent into Cerberon from Quake 2, It comes to mind oftne when I get into really intense FPS matches and sometimes, for some odd reason, when PVPing in UO.
