Holy hell, I didn't think anyone besides me and my brother ever played The Last V8. Who could forget that horribly awesome scratchy synth voice, "V8, return to base. Immediately!"
Im a hardcore c64 fan I still buy new c64's and stuff for them when ever I get the chance. Listen to sid music daily. (hell, as some here might know already - I even got the c= logo on my neck ubernerd!)
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

Or the synth voice "An unexpected visitor. Stay a while, stay forever!" in Impossible Mission? Commodore FOREVER, no "generation" has ever given me as much enjoyment as the Commodore generation -- Amiga and C64 will forever be my favourite platforms.
I can't really come up with a "bets of all time" soundtrack list, but out of the recent games there are a few albums that I really liked:
Assassins Creed 2
Mass Effect series
Dragon Age
MW2 - a somewhat cliched action soundtrack, but it actually makes it refreshing
Medal of Honor - some themes from this album are pretty good. It has a much more serious and an A-list musical feel to it, unlike MW2
Red Alert 3 - the Soviet themes are quite memorable, in an over the top kind of a way
Oh, and I also liked the Conviction theme from the latest Splinter Cell. That's all that comes to mind at the moment
In this particular case, I was referring to the recently released MoH. But now that you mention it, the previous titles did indeed have some great scores. The Allied Assault main theme stands out, but for me Airborne is the highlight, Michael Giacchino did some outstanding work there.
I think a lot of very good VGM has already been mentioned (my own all time fav probably Total annihilation) so I decided to dig up some old tracks.
Many songs are fondly remembered because the memories associated with them. It is also somewhat unfair to compare old "blip blop" to the CD/DVD quality tracks, they are great in their own respect
Monkey Island 3:
Playstation: Xenogears was also good throughout imo:
Mega CD: Cobra Command/Thunderstorm:
Mega CD: Solfeace
Mega Drive: Bonanza bros
Mega Drive: Puggsy
Mega Drive: Sword of Vermillion:
(18 secs in)
Mega Drive: Rolo to the rescue:
Mega Drive: James Pond 2: Robocod
Not sure how "good" it is - just very happy.
Playstation 1:
Worms
I´ll get around to more when I remember.

O yes! Rob Hubbard is pure genius. I love his Warhawk and Last V8 music.
hey your c64 guys forget , the very best soundtrack
outrun :
That's because, despite the sheer levels of EPICSAUCE oozing from the mighty SID chip, the arcade version had the best copy of the soundtrack. It's kind of hard to recommend an inferior version just because of platform loyalty (oh and that link is a remix collection)
=Magical Sound Shower - C64=
=Magical Sound Shower - 'Cade=
=Splash Wave - C64=
=Splash Wave - 'Cade=
But yes, Outrun 86 had a fucking INCREDIBLE soundtrack
Spoiler:
And at least the C64 one doesn't sound as bad as the car-crash (lol...) of a mistake on the Spectrum
Talking about amiga games, the had the best soundtrack it was mod/tracker based!, neither the PC or the ECS version can or could compare. Amiga was so ahead of it's time, I cried the day commodore went bankrupt
fucking Mehdi Ali, not a day goes past where I don't curse your existence
You win seventeen internets, my good man! Is there truly a better Castlevania title than Symphony? Ever? Not likely. Flawless gameplay with flawless music. Here's another couple of CV tracks from me that I love like I would love my own son, if I had one;
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
