    Also, please post your favorite pick out of the series. ie:

    Chrono Trigger. One of the greatest games ever and one of the greatest game soundtracks ever. I even liked the music so much I bought the $50 4-disc set. Also, I was watching that old Chrono Trigger OVA recently and was struck by how well that old SNES music meshed with the animation.

    Of all the games I've ever played, Chrono Cross has undoubtedly had some of the greatest game music I've ever heard!

    It's followed closely by Xenogears and Final Fantasy VII. :)

    Tony Hawk series, no doubt. So long as they dont have Avril [edit] Lavigne and Good Charlotte in the next one, ill stick by the series soundtrack.
    Otherwise im tempted to say secret of mana... come on that theme sends shivers down my spine everytime i hear it

    I think Star Wars is kinda unfair...




    Am I the only one who loves the Metal Gear Solid music?

    A tie between Grim Fandango's cool spanish stuff and the orchestral music in Syberia.

    Final Fantasy...I think VI and IX speak for the entire series. Of course, I always digged FF2/IV's music as well. ;)

    Chrono Cross has some great music, and so does Chrono Trigger; but looking at entire series I say Final Fantasy has proven itself time and time again.

    If we were looking at individual games, I'd probably have to go with Chrono Cross or Mach Rider.

    Well, my favorite game music doesn't come from a series. However, my favorite game music from a series would probably be from Final Fantasy.

    FFT and FFIX had some excellent music.

    Without a doubt Zelda, that is by far the best game music. It just brings back waves of nostalgia every time I hear it. Zelda (next to Star Wars of couse) is the second best music in any way shape or form, not just in the video game realm.

    Yeah, definitely Rainbow Six, that's some of the best game music ever. Rogue Spear is even better. Haven't heard Raven Shield yet though...

    Silent Hill 1&2 has some sweet music too.

    Bounty Hunter. Especially when you're reading the unlockable comic.

    Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past still has the best game music I've ever heard.

    Contra was pretty catchy too [face_batting]

    Xenogears, FFVII, and FFIX would be my next choices, but I have to say I love the music from all of the series I've listed. I think music is one of the most commonly overlooked aspects of video games.

    Dance Dance Revolution

    That whole game is about music, and has a lot of techno and remakes of classic songs.

    Final Fantasy by far. There are so many memorable songs from that franchise that it's almost insane. To name a few that stand out to me: Forever Rachel (FFVI), One-Winged Angel (FF7 final battle), Dancing Mad (final boss from FFVI), the many Chocobo theme renditions, the moogle theme, most of the battle themes, Eyes on Me (FFVIII love theme), Melodies of Life (FFIX song), Suteki da ne (FFX song), People of the North Pole (Mt. Gagazet/FFX), Someday the Dream Will End (FFX), the Floating Continent (FFVI), Celes' Theme (FFVI)... the list goes on.

    Zelda. Ocarina of Time was probably the most ground-breaking in terms of music, although a lot of the great, classic songs come from The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, and even Majora's Mask.
