Anything from Wind Waker gets my vote. I thought it had a beautiful soundtrack.
I'd tend to resist Nintendo going fully orchestrated as their games would lose that classic Nintendo sound in my opinion.

I love the music of the first two Monkey Island games. I had the CD version of the first game and you could listen to it seperately as an album - fantastic.

That is what battle music should sound like.

Agreed.
The whole game is full of memorable tunes, but this one I'd say is among the best (and it's a brilliant boss fight, too):Twilight Princess had some fantastic tracks as well, foremost among them the Faron Woods theme...

It depends on the instruments they use for the tracks, really. I wouldn't want a full orchestra for each area, as some places really only need two or three instruments to have a nice track going.

Nice to see a bit of Koh Ohtani in here! Forgot all about Shadow Of The Colossus. I wish Lakeside would last for a few minutes rather than thirty second 
!
Some of the battle music was absoltuley awe inspired! I think it's the fourth or fifth battle, but the strings just make it so immense! Imagine battling the fecker with no music. It just makes it so intense.
7th Collosus - absolutely beautiful work!
Silence
In Awe Of Power

I love Game Music. Listening to the music from a specific game reminds me how great playing it was when I don't get time to play through that game again.

Music makes a game! Particularly RPGs and story based affairs.
I've always been a fan of Venus Lighthouse from Golden Sun:
The Hong Kong music from Deus Ex is amazing too!

Fair play that's pretty sweet as well. Might just have to pick up a 360 so I can play it (one of the many games tempting me).

Mute City from F-Zero I always thought was very catchy back in the day, now its all about RPG's as far as music is concerned.

Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future
Another Music thread, and another Tim Follin post from me. Possibly THE most chilled piece of music to ever go into a game. So good in fact, that's it's been my alarm ringtone for the past 5 years.
Soul Edge
Back in the days when Namco used to produce great music. Bring Back Khan's Super Session, dammit!
Ridge Racer Type 4
... and just for Cal.

The Broken Sword games have fantastic music - then they would, it's done by the same bloke who does the brilliant Morse & Lewis.
Uncharted's Theme is bloody good too.

Planescape Torment.
Utterly unique.
And from one extreme to the other. The deeply wonderful Cannon Fodder (and music video thereof!)

Nice one. Type 4 had some really quality tracks on it!

The intro of the demo of RRT4 had a far superior track to that shite.

What's the point of alarm that's not alarming?
