One of the tunes that I always seems to be popping in my head was from the Microprose Soccer game (menu) on the C64.  It's not particularly complicated or extravagant but it's its catchy.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXLWKMC45Z8

Any of the music from Gimmick! is top notch! If you've never heard it, your seriously missing out since it has some of the best music to ever grace the NES. I bought a famicom version and modded my NES just to get the full audio from this game on real hardware. But really Sunsoft was in a league of their own when it came to music for the NES!

played drakengard last year, that soundtrack is fucking NUTS. thought something was wrong with hdloader but the whole ost is supposed to sound like a broken record. fitting for the oppressive, nihilistic atmosphere of the game.

I was going to post this, Drakengard 1/2 and Nier have god tier OSTs. Can't wait for Drakengard 3, whether it is good or not, I am 100% positive that the OST will be awesome.  ;D

A few of my favorites, mostly Sega games  ;D:

Jet Set Radio & Future:
Teknopathetic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6lEm2ei3Kg

nier's soundtrack is traditionally awesome, tho not nearly as trippy. pretty sure the guy who did that one is back for drakengard 3, so i have high hopes. also, character design by the guy who did both drakengards and mistwalker's last story for the wii. and of course it's spearheaded by the series' mastermind yoko taro, which really should be all that's needed to make another cult classic.
it's just sad that they probably won't be working within the nier-continuity, which had a lot going for it. supplementary materials released in japan gave a lot of backstory to it that would've been a great setting for more games. this is probably more closely tied to drakengard 2 which wasn't nearly as strong or original as the other ones. but either way, with these key players we should be fine.

Ive always liked the Metroid series ( prime especially )  

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tvDvMudlEh8

and  I really enjoy covers of game music

and  Metroid metal  is one of my favs  you can listen to their album here

http://metroidmetal.bandcamp.com/album/varia-suite

and  whenever iconic game music is redone with an actually band /orchestra its win  like video games live

I had never really given that song a second thought until OC Remix did a live rendition at PAX East. It was pretty freakin' sweet.

FFVII - Jenova Battle Music

 I kept the Guardian Heroes game all these years because I liked putting it in CD players and listening to it. Sadly my disc is all "pinholed" now from improper storage/handling
