Im a fan of Burn Out 3, even though most people agree that they are not really racing songs. EA was cool enough to compile over 40 songs of up and coming bands on it, which has broadened my musical taste. Ive heard many of those song on the radio lately (actually months after the game was released). Hearing them brings me back to my racing roots, and smashing car after car (takedown rampage!!!)
But original sound tracks are cool too...(ie. halo)
Im also a BIG fan of The Mini Bosses, they are a cover band who cover countless Nintendo classics with amazing accuracy and sound.

Every single in Need For Speed uNderground is just amazing. The whole idea of putting this type of songs in that game was very exciting, and I still love to play that game, where you can simply relax and listen to good music.

My favorite game soundtrack is from Morrowind: The Elder Scrolls. It has a lot of different "back ground" music types. Much like KOTOR, this music adds to the suspense of the game. This is especially true of hard core battle scenes when the music is crazy. It also helps pass the time from one main event to another.

crono cross had the sweetest song track, the intro along ruled, final fantasy 7-8-9-10 had sound tracks worthy of listening to as well.

I am so surprised that more people did not list the Final Fantasy soundtracks as their favorite VGMs. They so happen to be mine. I love all of Nobuo Uematsu's music so much that i actually own all the OSTs of all the Final Fantasy games. However, i would have to say that the Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack was the best. The reason i think that is because of how much the music makes ones mind relate to the mood of the game and the feelings of the game the specific moments in it. Everytime i hear one of the songs i can relate to the characters and how they feel along with how i feel current at the moment. They just are awesome and i recommend purchasing them and supporting Nobuo Uematsu.
