Having gone through attempting many games and game genres during my life, I find it hard to compile a big list of VGM pieces that are truly amazing to me. Can only name a few from the top of my head right now:
- Pokémon R/B/Y - Bicycle Theme (GB)
12-13 years later, I still find myself tooting amusingly to this song. It's fun and cheery, feels as if I'm riding a bicycle joyously myself!
- NiGHTS Into Dreams... - Growing Wings (Saturn)
When dreams are taken over by a menacing nightmare and you, the player, witness the main character NiGHTS being sealed away by the evil mastermind, having therefore no choice but to leap into endless demise to try to call forth a night... this tune rises up, in total surprise, reminding us there are endless possibilities within our own dreams.
One of the most awestruck videogaming moments to me. And this tune conveys those feelings to me over and over again. Out of context it may not look as good due to the Saturn's limitations, but personally it's just a big hit to me, one of those one-time moments where you feel everything fits together naturally and yet wonderfully.
- Xenoblade Chronicles - Unfinished Battle (Wii)
Boy... last time I remember hearing Yoko Shimomura's work was in the game Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. I was pleasantly surprised when I knew he was responsible for some of the more memorable tunes in the JRPG Xenoblade. I like the whole OST, but Unfinished Battle, with or without context, sounds like the one that makes me want to jump into action to bash some over-sized Mechon the most.
I want to give a mention to SoulEye and his VVVVVV project as well. Those music pieces are remarkably expressive, it's like retro-style got reinvented!

Final Fantasy VII - Fighting - One of the best compositions I've ever heard for a VGM. It really sounds good for its time. And to add,
Super Mario Bros. 2 Overworld Theme - This one's very underrated. I like this better than the 1st and 3rd Mario bros. themes.
Final Fantasi VIII - Eyes on Me (Piano Ver.) - Very emotional.
I like classics~

Ocarina. 'nough said.
From No More Heroes. Granny doesn't f*** around, indeed.
Destroyman: Bringing the pelvic thrust to a whole new level.
This song from FFVII still makes me eargasm and stuff. When I was little and was playing the game, only in the last dungeon would I stop exploring, press triangle to enter the menu and just listen the music for a while.
For rap fans, I think this would catch your taste.
PARAPPA THE RAPPER!
Instructor Mooselini's Car Rap - Teaches you how to drive
All Master's Rap (Bathroom Song) - Rap battle to the toilet
Live Rap With Mc. King Kong Mushi - Concert?

•TLOZ. Skyward Sword (current favorite soundtrack, it has +300 tracks, lots of different tunes)
•Fragile Dreams Farewell Of The Moon. (chilling, dark but calm)
•Final Fantasy. (almost every games has nice music)
•No More Heroes and No More Heroes 2 Desperate Struggle. (something different, very original if you listen non-remixed and different tracks)
•Metroid Prime and Metroid Other M. (misterious and futuristic ambient music)
PS: Will post more if I remember from the lot of games I've played since always.

The Metal Gear Solid videogames have always an epic soundtrack in every game.
(Sorry my bad english
)Alright, where to start? (I know I will forget stuff and it makes me angry already lol)
- Sorry to generalize it, but pretty much every Sonic game. I could fangasm over Sonic music all day. Special mentions: Sonic 3: Final Battle, Sonic R: Super Sonic Racing, Sonic 2: Sky Chase Zone &Mystic Cave Zone, Sonic 06: His World & Dreams of an Absolution, Sonic Adventure 2: Live & Learn, etc. This list would probably go on forever.
- Final Fantasy X's OST, special mentions: Suteki Da Ne, Assault, People of the North Pole, Seymour Battle, Otherworld. I like this OST so much because it's really diverse.
- Megaman 2, for obvious reasons. (Not only 2 but on other Soundtracks only like 1 or 2 tracks, so yeah)
- VVVVVV, great Chiptune Soundtrack.
Special mentions:
Megaman X, Storm Eagle
Mario 64, Dire Dire Docks
FFVII Crisis Core, Price of Freedom

I friggin' LOVE the MediEvil OST:
And also the 2nd part's OST :3
Another OST I really like is the one from the first two Oddworld games. Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus:
Another one I really love is The Binding Of Isaac:
There are more games with extremely good OSTs like Assassin's Creed series or Bioshock 1&2, Gothic series and last but not least the Elder Scrolls series.

Think this should be merged with the other thread in music?
The Battle for Everyone Souls from Persona 3 or The Almighty from Persona 4. I don't want to link video here. Everyone just search for it.
