Halo 3: ODST.
Martin O'donell has always been one of my all time favorite soundtrack composers. His work on the Halo series is nothing short of phenomenal. The series is a perfect example of an amazing soundtrack throughout all the games, but one of them stuck with me more than the rest. ODST's soundtrack is a significant departure from the series previous tone of grand space opera focusing more on a dark film-noir feeling to accent the lonely nights wandering through the desolate streets of the covenant occupied city of New Mombasa. From the smooth hints of jazz that exude loneliness and despair to the more tense combat tracks that portray the courage and bravery of the ODSTs. this soundtrack is brilliant and remarkably consistent and fitting to the game's theme start to finish.
If you've never played this brilliant game, you at least owe it to yourself to listen to this soundtrack.

(The rest of Neon Night is great, but this part makes the track)

(The percussion that kicks in at 2:39 makes for some tense combat music)

Final Fantasy 12. In my opinion: A highly underrated game, and the compositions are beautiful.

The Halo2 soundtrack comes as a close second, but goddamn I love EarthBound's music.

Not my #1 but Bully/Canis Canem Edit had a great soundtrack.

I like how all the music in this game was performed by an orchestra.

To be honest I don't listen to many game soundtracks, mainly film scores if I'm going to listen to a soundtrack. But the Medal Of Honor OST is amazing.

Between Earthbound and Sonic 3 & Knuckles, I have to say S3&K just barely makes it on top. It's probably because of Sky Sanctuary.

I also enjoy to read where Earthbound got its music from. For example, the title screen music uses audio clips from Monty Python.
could only find a playlist, but banjo-tooie

[b]Final Fantasy VII: Original Soundtrack[/b]
All of the pieces from this soundtrack have their own distinct vibe. The thing with most soundtracks is that the pieces usually sound muddled and generic. However, Nobuo Uematsu really knew how to hammer out those distinct melodies, but not only that they really fit the setting in which they were played.
For instance:
Gold Saucer (Played during visits to the Gold Saucer [an amusement park type setting]) - It has a very festive feel to it.

Some other stand out tracks were:
"Cosmo Canyon"; a bit stereotypical in sound, but wonderfully plays on that indigenous (Native American) sound that the area was going for.
The two Jenova battle themes ("Jenova" and "Jenova Absolute"); one sounds distinctly 'B-movie alien' which is very fitting considering the origin of Jenova.
The "One Winged Angel" track; this track always stood out because of its use of menacing latin chorus.
The main battle theme "Those Who Fight"; a bit of nostalgia plays a role in liking this track, but it translated well into a piano piece. It gets you pump to fight.
"Costa Del Sol" theme - this song is played at a resort type setting, and it's very relaxing with sort of a Caribbean elevator music type vibe.
