s'gotta be Goldeneye on the N64 - scooting through the snow, taking potshots at pesky Russians, all to the sublime soundtrack... aaah, good times.

Goldeneye. I was amazed just how many times (Grant Kirkhorpe) managed to remix the Bond theme until all the life had been sucked out of it. Then in Perfect Dark he remixed every single track into an 'X' version that is composed entirely of orchestra hit sounds. He truly is a musical genius.

Not sure of the composers name (Hirokazu 'Hip' Tanaka perhaps?), but I really love the music from the Metroid family of games...especially the 2 'Prime' games.
In Metroid Prime 1 & 2 the opening cinematic/demo loop music is really cool. All of the little 'blips' and 'scratchy/noise like sounds' that are layered under the music are amazing.
I also have a soft spot for the 'Super Metroid' theme...ROCK ON!

Whoever EBA's composer is. Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas!

How about a top 3?

I'm so partial to Yasunori Mitsuda because of my undying love for Crono Trigger. You have to give it up for Koji Kondo. He is the grand-daddy. And, tied in third would be Hirokazu Tanaka and Yuzo Koshiro. It may be antiquated, but I absolutely love the score from ActRaiser.

I'm a huge fan of Yu Miyake of Katamari Damacy fame. That has to be my favorite soundtrack in any game. Obviously, Zelda themes rank up there as well. And pretty much the soundtrack of any Castlevania game (with very few exceptions) are brilliant.
