What is your favorite soundtrack or song from any video game out there? For me Castlevania has always had great music with a few exceptions. My personal favorites are the following (put YouTube videos in a Spoiler!):

These are my all-time favorite Castlevania songs! So, what is your favorite video game soundtrack or song? :)

Let's start this off with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw3e-TGMqY0
Go. Listen to all of Radiant Historia's OST now. It is beautiful.

Now, here's some music from FE13: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsPo7ovAq6Y

And now time for a wall of links.

I'm going to start with FE1, go through all the FEs I know music from, then move on to other series.

FE1:
Not much here. Gonna link two tracks.
Track 13. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyhYSHSDzUc)
This is the original version of what you may know as "A Knight's Oath", "Vow" or "After the Battle".
Track 19. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdOoXzJv5J0&feature=relmfu)
The original version of "Together we Ride"!

FE4:
This will be long. Bolding best stuff, since no one's gonna click everything. I just adore FE4's soundtrack.

Birth of the Holy Knight. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8RuAasfZcc)
Prologue Map Theme. :>
Girl of the Spirit Forest. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3-33JROIn4)
Chapter 1 Map Theme.
Disturbance in Agustria. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdJtQZFs8uY)
Chapter 2 Map Theme.
Lion King Eltshan. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoAVSm891T4&feature=BFa&list=PL1755CAC79F44DA32)
Chapter 3 Map Theme!
Dance in the Skies. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhzvo7TRaOc)
Chapter 4's Map Theme!
Light and Darkness. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owfIUVY20f0)
Chapter 10 Map Theme. I jumped ahead so I wouldn't post too much stuff.
The Final Holy War. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcjjPNHrXyM)
Final Chapter Map Theme. I'm finished with these!
Fateful Showdown. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljr0fOhBWGo)
This is a battle theme. It's for more important battle. I'm not sure about the exact conditions for when it plays, though...
From Enemy to Friend. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX69vYXL0_g)
I'm pretty sure this plays when a recruitable enemy attacks you.
Versus Alvis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiKnlT-XZRs)
This one's self explanatory.
Recruitment. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozYa8oyGdm8)
FE4's recruitment theme, which was reused in FE6!
Lover 4. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSMJBsi6MWE)
So pretty!
Velthomer Palace. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD4wIVDnhIY)
Not gonna link too much more, because I've gone too far as it is.
Dozel Palace. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-7uwWh0nic)
Like the one above, this one is self-explanatory.
Emperor Alvis. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLSqiN9MWqA)
Alvis' amazing theme.

FE5:
Confusing names here, sorry. Going off the names the uploader used.
Sally. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4QJiKNL2pA)
This is the music for the deployment screen, iirc.
In Search of the Victory ~ Base. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Etm_SjrVrFg)
Map music. And it's freaking awesome.
In Search of the Victory ~ Near of the Victory. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nujpGH5INbk)
FE5's "Winning Road" theme.
In Search of the Victory ~ Near of the Defeat. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbzCochNBx8)
Yes. FE5 has a theme for the exact opposite situation. <3
In Search of the Victory ~ Leaf. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9y5GAWyL0Q)
One of the best pieces in the game. Easily.
In the Battle ~ Crisis. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUFmMvG0nVE)
This is pretty nice. I think it plays at the beginning of chapters.
End of Chapter ~ August Talks B. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSIFX5m_uZo)
Surprisingly, this plays at the end of a chapter, when August talks. It's also amazing!
End of Chapter ~ Go! Leaf! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUidTOeOU1c)
Arguably the best music in the game.
In the Chapter ~ Joining a Group. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG3G0A_FXNg)
FE5's recruitment theme. This wasn't used in any other games. The only other recruitment themes that can be said about are FE2's and FE8's. I don't get why. This one's excellent.
In the Chapter ~ Meeting and Meeting Again. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoTdykv5mzA)
This is one of my favourites. It's also quite wonderful.

FE7 coming later!

Dancing Mad from FFVI
It perfectly fits the tone of the villian and emphasizes his insanity.

Have my fair share of favorite VGMs to name a few,
1 Metaknight's revenge. I heard it in brawl first and I decided to look for the original. I liked the original so much more for some reason!
2 the entire b2/w2 soundtrack. Come on do I really need to explain? Well for starters it remixed the old black and white themes very nicely, and even some older soundtracks were remixed. I love 5th gen!
3 super Mario rpg forest maze. For years that little tune has been playing in my head and I had no clue what the heck it was. Untill a friend last year told me the exact title. I don't know where I heard it from, but it always played in my head. I loved it so much that I remixed it twice! :3

I was wondering where this thread was.

The Sonic series has several games with soundtracks I absolutely adore. This is only because of the presence of Crush 40. Killing Floor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyHXg5t5qzc) and Super Meat Boy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYCSkSwRotw) both have some pretty kicking soundtracks though.
