What, what'd I do. >_>
Oh yeah. I guess this is totally after the fact, but we may have so inflicted upon this thread:

I made a mistake. I've left out what I strongly feel to be the
single greatest vocal theme to a video game ever sung:
From
Legend of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 4): Song of Mana, brought to us by Yoko Shimomura and Annika Ljungberg.
I could wax poetic on
why it's so great, but it's better that you just listen to it--especially if you're familiar with the
Seiken Densetsu/World of Mana series to begin with (particularly the earlier ones, which are easily some of the best action-RPGs ever made).
(FYI; the language is Swedish. Don't ask why, it just works.)
In response to Ele's last post: That
Ace Combat stuff is damn cool. I see myself stealing some to play in the background during action scenes if I ever GM a Dark Heresy/Rogue Trader game. >_>

I'm saddened no one has mentioned Chrono Trigger's Frogs theme. Or what about Magus's theme? Ooooeeeer if you want something kiddy and cheerful.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEIURTJKek0 And the Xenogears soundtrack! I -hated - that game, but the music was nothing short of spectacular.

I need to make sure of something. Namely that
this live-performed medley of some of the best themes from
Chrono Trigger and
Cross (Reminiscence/Chrono Trigger's Main Theme/Scars of Time/Frog's Theme/To Far-Away Times) gets linked in this thread (if it hasn't been already). It's an imperfect recording, but still good.

This
gem from DDS2 is my favorite battle theme, considering the secret bosses in this game can last well over an hour and are among the more brutal in any RPG's ever made.

Well, here's a few tracks one might enjoy.
Classic music for those whose chosen professions run close to Asskicker/Bubble-Gumchewer.
Grabbag Original
Or, there's the Megadeth variant.
Grabbag Megadeth Remix
Final Fantasy XII - Rabanastre Downtown
Soul Calibur III - The Hour of Destiny
Skies of Arcadia - Bombardment ver. 2 (Probably one of my favourite boss-type musics. In an airship, even!)
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - Skytown
SSBB - Bramble Blast (A remix to be sure, but oddly soothing. Wrote a story to this.)
CC Red Alert - Hell March (Original)
Also, just about anything and everything from Chrono Trigger.
