I'll start.

Elder Scrolls always have awesome music!! :D

[Dudebro]

ChrisP is winning so far, +1 for the awesomeness. I used to leave Oblivion on just to listen to that.

The Halo Theme is pretty awesome too.
YouTube - ‪Halo 1 Intro Music‬‏


Jim posted a newer version of Castlevania but I prefer this one much more

[joz]

YouTube - ‪Ecco 2: Tides of Time Soundtrack - Moray Abyss/Boss Theme‬‏

[Tails]

@Dudebro- Halo Theme was always one of my favorites! +1 When I played Halo, I would hum it, usually causing my bro to get pissed and punch me :p

[Tails]

YouTube - ‪Ristar The Shooting Star Music - Du-Di-Da!!‬‏

[jim5cents]

Keeping with the Castlevania theme

YouTube - ‪Block 1: Akumajou Densetsu (Castlevania 3) Music‬‏


Also, I'm not sure if it counts because it isn't designed as video game music, but the entire soundtrack for Fallout 3 is great.

[Slime Slayer]

The Castlevania series has the best tunes, DQ, Mario, FF, Metroid series's, and most early Capcom games are runners up.
YouTube - ‪Castlevania Portrait of Ruin: Piercing Silence‬‏

[Tails]

YouTube - ‪Ristar "Planet Freon - Ring Rink" Music‬‏

[Dudebro]

Also, I'm not sure if it counts because it isn't designed as video game music, but the entire soundtrack for Fallout 3 is great.Sure it counts. It was the soundtrack for the game. Since you mentioned it-
YouTube - ‪Fallout New Vegas - Marty Robbins - Big Iron - With Lyrics‬‏

[Slime Slayer]

I played them all for an impartial non gamer, and these where her reactions if anyone cares how they did to non-biased ears. The order of the comments applies to the order of the videos posted.
"its funny"
"stupit"
"its alright"
"boring"
"stupit"
"fakely intense, no heart"
"stupid, just plain stupid"
"cheesy"
"retarded"
"lame"
"now thats good"
"interesting"
"kinda cute"
"silly" (in a good way)
"classic sounding"
"I already heard this one didnt I?"

[Dudebro]

I don't think impartial would be a fair word to use if the person listening to game music isn't into games.

[Slime Slayer]

I don't think impartial would be a fair word to use if the person listening to game music isn't into games.
Mind if I read that in Steve Urkles voice?

[Dudebro]

Sure if you want. I'm just saying that since this is specifically about game music it would be hard to be impartial if you aren't a gaming fan. Actually I don't see how anyone could be impartial or unbias about this kind of thing since it depends on if you like games or not.

I've always liked the Castlevania series, but how come no one posted CV2 'night'?
The 'night' music rocks!

YouTube - ‪Castlevania II: Simon's Quest - Night‬‏

and I've always liked the music for XG2 {Extreme G 2} for the Nintendo 64, particularly this track:

A games music can be a play or no play decision maker for me.

You lot haven't lived. Back in my day music composers for computer games really earnt their corn.

On my good old reliable C64 Rob Hubbard was king.

This was one of young Jojo's favorites.

Masterpieces of gaming music.
