I'm nominating Red Storm Entertainment and composer Bill Brown for having the best game and game-themed music: Specifically, the Rainbow Six, Rogue Spear and Raven Shield themes, as well as the themes for their respective mission packs (Urban Operations being a particular standout).

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the RSE themes and who have cable connections, I can send you an excellent example.

Yeah, I'll secodn Red Storm.

But the best has got to be Outcast, Moscow Philharmonic providing a brilliant soundtrack...

Morrowind gets my vote.

Morrowind...hell yeah....that and homeworld

Any title with Star Wars music.

Any James Bond game.

Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb.

Halo.

TA and Homeworld have excellent music.

Otherworld from FFX is the best I've heard. The one in the opening Blitzball scene and when u fight Braskas Final Aeon at the end, really nice.

Warcraft II and Homeworld, but wasn't there a thread like this a while back?

Star Control
Red Alert [1]
Civilization
Doom

TYRIAN!!!

Quake 2's ok...

Earth 2150: The Moon Project

The opening music for the ED campaign is the best in any game I've ever played.

ff 6 celes' theme

Castlevania series, homeworld, Jet set radio

Outcast, Rez, Jet Set Radio, Rez, Metroid Prime, Rez and Rez

Final Fantasy 6 and 7, Metal Gear Solid

The best soundtrack for it's time was Actraiser for SNES.

Best theme song: Worms

Best overall: Um... I dunno. But the most fun was definately me playing Mannaheim Steamroller while I mowed down the competition (and civilians) in Syndicate Wars.

FF VI and VII, of course.

WarCraft II and it's Expansion (since that added some music).

Any Star Wars (set in the OT, anyway, never played any Prequel games too seriously).

StarCraft and it's Expansion (that Templar world or whatever the heck it is I know of, and it is very good! Don't know if there's new music on the Desert or Ice worlds, if so, lemme know so I can go in and listen!).

Stronghold Crusaders had some good ones, though they weren't that long lasting it seemed.

Jane's USNF 97 had some fun Top Gun-ish music, as well as a very nice intro song for the Vietnam campaign. Fleet Command was also good, as was what I could hear of F/A-18.

Myst. And thanks to the Masterpiece Edition I have the Soundtrack!

That's all I can think of right now, though there are definately more out there.

I'll have to say the Red Alerts and FF7.

Here I am showing off how old-fashioned I am, but I always thought one of the best in-game soundtracks has always been the original TIE Fighter MIDIs.

I forgot about REZ, damn straight.

I'd like to add Baldur's Gate II as well.

Any SNES game, they all have awesome musics, especially RPGs.
