Sonic 2006 OST. This one i do enjoy at times.

 

 

But most of it is gold though

 

(Obviously the comments now have some silly gamegrumps reference. Can't say i like those very much, i mean capslock and all that... wish this stuff would go away.)

 

But its nice to listen to this soundtrack ^^

I always found funny Ripto's Arena from Spyro 2 

[Little Red 1,529]

Oh! BEST THREAD! XD Half the reason I play games are for the OSTs!

My favorites have to be Pokemon Mystery Dungeon soundtracks and the Cave Story+ theme, though.

The NiGHTS into Dreams soundtrack was well received on release, I especially like the opener.

The GLA soundtrack from C&C: Generals is also quite amazing.

 

 

FOR THE CAUSE!

[Nightwish 25]

The one game that'll take you to feelsy town. Memorable storyline, killer graphics in remastered version, and OST is beautiful and emotional.

The soundtrack for Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door comes to mind... maybe it's just the nostalgia, but I've always felt the music in it was very powerful and memorable, so much so that I still get thrills from listening to it today. When I heard the music for the final boss' last phase, I was pretty much unable to sit down... that kind of sensation doesn't happen very often with me.

 

*resists the urge to link the whole OST here*

 

Aside from that, the OST for SSBB, Sonic 06 (which actually made the game bearable for me, back when I took it seriously x3), and LoZ: Twilight Princess still impress me even now, as well as a few other games I probably can't recall right now.

 

Also, for an individual track, this one in particular has definitely stuck with me... more than is healthy, in fact. x3

For me, personally - Metal Gear Solid. The music seems to send shivers down my spine, always. I mean, come on; the dude who did the music in Shrek and Chicken Run made this stuff!

Sonic CD Japanese/European sound track

[Vefka 1,499]

Hotline Miami series soundtrack. Pixelated ultraviolence with very good electronic music feels great!
