Going to put it out there that the Ace Combat series as a whole has a history of amazing soundtracks for their games, with the themes for each varying between each game (3 is very techno/futuristic, 5 is very orchestral, Zero features a lot of strings/guitars etc.)

Some examples:

Ace Combat 2:

Ace Combat 3:

Ace Combat 4:

Ace Combat 5:

Ace Combat Zero:

Ace Combat 6:

Ace Combat 3DS:

Ace Combat X:

Undertale's soundtrack is phenomenal. My personal faves are Papyrus's and Mettaton EX's boss themes, and of course Megalovania.

EDIT: now that I'm at home and on my laptop:
Papyrus's theme
Mettaton EX's theme
Megalovania

Xenoblade Chronicles has a phenomenal soundtrack and theres too much good music to show, so this is just two of its more popular tracks

I don't like fighting games such as Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat too much,
but there is one game from the Street Fighter series I'm particularly fond of.

Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha is such a great game and is criminally underrated in every aspect, including its soundtrack.

Listen to Ken's theme "Light Guardian" with its incredible guitar riffs combined with a fantastic synth and a phenomenal bassline.
The guitar solo at 1:16 is one of the best solos I have ever heard and definitely beats lots of popular solos.



Also check out Guile's theme "Strange Sunset", top quality jazz fusion and a fine piano accompaniment.

Rogue Legacy is another game with a rock solid OST.

Some of my favourite tracks from Minecraft:

Story Time!
I moved from Virginia to Texas 2 years ago (when I was 12), and had to take a 4-day road trip to get to texas... It was long, and I listened to a SINGLE SONG during that trip... That's right, it was Exile Vilify... This song physically helped me to stay sane while I was leaving all of my friends that I had made over an 11 year time period (Basically my entire life) I was an absolute wreck, and this song was the only thing that really made me happy during the move... So... Maybe that's why it's my favorite OST song?

BTW: It's from Portal 2, and is a small easter egg you can find playing from the radio in the Ratman den in test chamber 03 in the chapter: The Cold Boot... So... Go find it!

Three songs from the Doom soundtrack (with a lot of excellent songs from Doom and Doom 2 skipped):

Four songs from the Unreal Tournament (99, GOTY) soundtrack (once again, skipping a lot of great songs):

One song from Morrowind and three from the classic Ultima games:

Hey one more thread that makes my browser choke to near death because I use max posts/page setting.
Anyway, talking great game soundtracks and nobody has yet mentioned Terraria's!
It's there in Steam. Also, Russian Terraria wiki has it for free listen/download but I'd rather not link it here. And I'm pretty sure you can find it on Youtube or something.
