Live-A-Live had a good stylized soundtrack for the SNES era (I particularly like the Ninja and Cowboy sections). It also occurs to me that while Thief I and II (I never played the 3rd one since it betrays the originals) did not use music to a great extent, whenever they did it was in a very, very cool way.

The Castlevania series has some good tunes. Especially "Vampire Killer" and "Bloody Tears".

The Silent Hill series is good at darkly disturbing alterna-industrial-whatsits music.

The Metroid series is awesome at alien atmospheric and sci-fi tunes.

Zelda, Final Fantasy, Chrono series, So many good VGM tunes out there.

Heck I play games sometimes just to hear the music. :p

Chrono trigger music. 'Nuff said.

I also think that the track for the first level in Blaster Master for NES is one of the best tracks ever. Of course, it's all midi-style, but that adds to the effect of its coolness. Blaster Master is to NES as Halo is to XBox.

Actually, I like a lot of game music. Final Fantasy had some good tracks. The Halo theme song is downright sweet. Chrono Cross had some cool stuff too. I could go on forever.

I nominate the original Mega Man series.

And, for those who have an interest in videogame music, let me direct you to this site:

http://ocremix.org

It's a gigantic archive of videogame music remixes. Have you ever wanted to hear Sonic 1's Green Hill Zone theme remixed as a metal anthem or a mid-90s Eurotrance tune? This is the place to do it.
