Oh, and I just have to post this! The stage 1 music for Battletoads arcade! If this doesn't get you pumped to play the game, nothing will.



And you can't do a topic like this without some Streets of Rage tracks. Here's the boss theme and the one from the stage on the boat. Two of the games more badass tracks in my opinion

I'll save your immortal soul by posting it myself ;)
Pretty much all of Hubbard's music is good to awesome. The problem is I'm in the US so I never played Monty. Those 3 I mentioned I played a lot. I'm pretty sure Commando was the first game I ever flipped. I think my best run I went through it 5 times or something.

There's Ryu's theme on Street Fighter 2, which is quite unforgettable, although his theme on Street Fighter Alpha 3 is superior.

Act Raiser's Music is very very memorable, in particular the main theme:


Symphonic version:


Filmore is also another track that is unforgettable:

Bloody Tears from Castlevania series
Fountain of Dreams from Kirby series

I hate to admit it, but it´s usually your favorite games that have the best music.
It´s because you play them

still looking for a good Battle Gear soundtrack ost download...

I've got another one. I was reminded when I finished Lufia 3 on the GBC. The final dungeon theme from the Lufia series:

This is probably my favorite theme from Final Fantasy 13. It's an adrenaline pumping, epic combat theme that only plays during certain special parts of the game. It's goes from this cool pumping techno sound to an epic, cinematic feel and back again. This is the proper, extended version, not the annoyingly short one I've seen on youbue. Honestly, they could have made this the game's main combat theme it's so damn good
