This goes for any game, any system, any genre. What game/stage/character, has the best music?

My personal Faves are Gesse Howard's music and Tung Fu Rue's stage from Fatal Fury. Ken and Ryu's stages from SF2. Double Dragon theme. Haoumaru's music (all SS music to be honest). Final Fantasy theme. Sephiroth's music (FF7). Too many more to mention

Axelay - Entire score rocks. Second most complete soundtrack ever. But my fave has to be Stage 2. Incredible.

Kid Icarus- opening level - I love the bouncing bassline and fanfare.

Contra - Pseudo 3D Base music - gets me pumped to commits mass acts of murder vs alien scum.

Dracula X: Rondo of Blood. The entire soundtrack was so good I bought the actually CD collection. The most complete score, EVER. Best tune? Bloody Tears.

Outrun - Magical Soundshower. Nuff said.

Can I get a damn witness! I'd probably have to vote for this, although close runners up would be ALL Akumajou Dracula and Silent Hill music from their respective series. I listen to these constantly. As the first poster mentioned, Tung's FFS tune is cool, as is his Neo CD arranged version from RB2...

Ken's stage music in Alpha 2 is my favorite ever, at least for a fighting game. I would like to download it, but I could never find it.

Super Metroid has the best soundtrack ever, bar none.
