It's already been posted, along with a few other of my choices, but it's so good it needs to be here TWICE!

As for the Genesis...

I think Im going to chime in with something I figured would have already been posted. The opening theme song for Ys Book 1&2 from Turbo Grafx CD. I loved it so much when I was younger that I actually had all the music recorded onto a cassette so I could listen to it in my car. I hadnt heard it in a while then I got VC version of the game (Btw, going to recommend the hell out of it cause its a 100% exact copy of the Turbo version for only $8) and when the intro music started playing again, my younger days all flashed back to me immediately.

I don't know, if we're going with FF6 music I much prefer Terra's Theme, or Dancing Mad

@jobocan wins the FFVI portion of the thread!

[madmax]

Agreed, I absolutely love that song. Has a ring of epicness to it

We're not giving a whole lot of recognition to the genesis here other than Sonic... which is understandable, since the Genesis' sound chip was pretty much complete crap, but there's still a few good non-Sonic tunes on the system... Like this one:

Revenge of Shinobi for the Sega Genesis had my favorite soundtrack (for today).

Strider for Genesis came very close to 1st place. I remember playing that game as a kid just for the music.

Honorable mentions: Killer Instinct and Donkey Kong Country (same composer) had some amazing tracks, Earthworm Jim, Turtles In Time, Gradius. Oh god, I have to stop. There is so much great music in video games!

Best game soundtrack ever:
Gradius Rebirth - Heavy Blow

I almost cried listening to this while playing Rebirth for the first time. Konami did it again!

That Gradius Rebirth track is soooo good.
