I thought for a sec..but I'm not sure if Dance Dance Revolution is eligible for this. I mean, it IS music. It's extremely catchy though.

Preach ON!

Xenogears was an awesome game, and the music was freaking incredible. I have plenty of songs from Nobuo Uematsu (final fantasy in particular) and it's just incredible. I have some ochestral and opera redo's of some music from FF6 that is just beautiful. Just incredible, it'll mellow you out no matter how pissed you are.

Peace

Back when tekken 2 came out fot the psx.i was listening to Devil/Angel's arranged soundtrack.That music was creepy and sometimes it creeps me out at night when i played that game getting to their stage.That was in the past,hehe.Tekken 2 has some good soundtracks.

There is a really cool song in Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo (or whatever it's called) that you unlock... It's called "I want you to know."
And the intro song to the Japanese Saturn Megaman X4 owns...
And Metal Gear Solid has great music... I like games that are in sync with the music (IE you get caught by a guard and it starts going all fast...)

oh i got one for best use of no music: excite bike for NES, taht was a dam good game.

streets of rage 2 had some incredible music as well.

Suikoden
Suikoden 2
chrono trigger
chrono cross
final fantasy 6( i dig it the most <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">)

I honestly could go on forever...There's always at least 1 good song in a videogame when it has music.
