Most Epic Videogame Music of all time? (post links please)

Once in a while, you hear a certain song in some video game that makes you go like, "Oh ****, I gotta find that **** on YouTube."

So, here's the question: What is (in your opinion) the most epic/favorite videogame music of all time? There are so many to choose from and I'm having a hard time coming up with one.

In recent memory, one of the most amazing themes I've heard in a while is the Metroid Prime Trilogy theme.

Some close seconds would be..

Wind Scene - Chrono Trigger

Shadow of the Colossus song (I'm not sure what the exact name is)

/thread

the greatest series ever has the most epic music ever

Streets of rage 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU1l8_ZpQbU&feature=related

Mike Tysons Punch Out. No matter how hard I try I can never get that damn beat out of my head.

Nothing beats THIS.

By far.....pure epic

Halo 3-One FInal Effort...Marty O'Donnell is the god damn man

MGS 1- The main Theme

MGS 1- The best is yet to come

MGS 3- main theme

Theres theme songs that are probably way more epic, The Halo 3 and the 2 MGS themes just got me really into the games though...and the best is yet to come is just there for all the nostalgia and awesome that was MGS 1 :)

This is the first runner up as well

Porky Means Business - Earthbound

You just can't beat this song.

I cryed when I watched this. Truly an emotional and beautiful piece. To thank a game with such an epic story that you think back on its previous installments and remember.

lol, I'm actually planning on listening to all of these themes after my c1asses are done and when my paper is completed. I might become inspired to buy some of these games after I listen to them hot beats :D :P

(already planning on getting Persona 3 and 4 in the summer haha)

/agree.

I forgot just how good that theme was but I also liked the MGS2 opening theme and the MGS3 snake eater theme.

The most epic series of all time also has the most fitting and hauting theme:

Kurt Harland's Ozar Midrashim - The Legacy of Kain series.

Here are acouple of my favorites.

Goldeneye 007- Antenna Cradle- This is my number one favorite actually.

Perfect Dark- Airbase and Airbase X-My number three favorite. I love how it's all calm until near the end when the music gets rough

Edit: Sonic CD Theme- I don't know why, but this is an honorable mention.

I find the lack of Zelda Disturbingshadow_hosi

I feel like I've listened to the LoZ main theme too many times, it starts feeling stale after a while.

However, there are many other tracks from Zelda that I absolutely love:

Dark World (ALttP)

Lost Woods (OoT)

Lost Woods (ALttP)

Dragon Roost Island

Gerudo Valley

Forest Temple OoT

Hyrule Field (TP)

Song of Storms

Play myth for the first on c64 and hearing the theme was awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c4OtOFHY3c

You forgot the most important one!!!

BLASPHEMY

Blasphemy and lies.

(runs away to edit other post lol)

I've done this so many times already, too lazy for links:

Halo 3 - One Final Effort, Three Gates, Greatest Journey, Behold a Pale Horse, Finish the Fight, No More Dead Heroes, This Is Our Land

Metal Gear Solid 4 - Old Snake, Metal Gear Saga

All the Zelda themes

Mass Effect - Main Theme, From The Wreckage, The End (Reprise)

Halo 3: ODST - Prepare To Drop

Fallout 3, Oblivion & Morrowind's main themes

And because the whole time I've been writing this post all I've been thinking about are film OST's; Drink Up Me Hearties, Ecstasy of Gold, A Dark Knight, The Throne Room, Return of the King & Concerning Hobbits :D A cookie for guessing (or knowing) what films all of those songs are from.

The One Who is Torn Apart

First time I heard it, I just knew it was associated with something incredibly ominous and powerful, but that turned out to be an understatement.

This should be in a game. It's pure awesome :P

And yes, I do make games, mainly indie ones, I haven't finished them yet.

Super Castlevania 4 has some of my favourites

Blood Pumping!

No-one mentioned this?

Blood Pumping!

CuDDKiDD

I loved the menu music to Rome:TW

As well as Deus Ex

Zelda series, Snake Eater, and others have been mentioned.

But I feel obliged to include the game with the best audio for its time.

Homeworld

I agree with your Zelda's and your MGS's.

inFamous also has a damn good soundtrack, which I think is underrated because it's never mentioned.

I always thought Quake 2 was pure sickness.

However, hands down the most epic videogame music ever made is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEKDF_WbMlg.
