1. Every Silent Hill Game
2. Metal Gear Solid 2
3. Lost Odyssey

A shame it was attached to such a mediocre game, in the last case. I also like FF6, FF7 (although I am sick of it thanks to RPG Maker games), FFT, and Vagrant Story soundtracks.
1. Final Fantasy II (If you Orchestrate it, it would sound awesome)
2. Super Mario Galaxy 1&2
3. Final Fantasy III DS (Mostly B/C Eureka Music)

I love the music from FF8 and Dawn of War: Soulstorm but they didn't make my top 2.
1. Mother (series)
2. Monkey Island (series)
3. Silent Hill (series)


Overrated?
The FF series in general has somewhat overrated music in my opinion, but I still like a lot of it.

Probably because no one can make it to the final boss in that game!
I play many more RPGs than I do other genres (well, platformers come as a very close second :P), and most of my favorites have already been listed here. However, I would like to point your attention to Lufia 2 and Terranigma for a moment:





Lufia 2 probably has one of the most...emotional, ending themes that I have ever listened to (especially if you know the context behind it). :(


And of course, I must post this live orchestral Final Fantasy VI opera performance:



I forgot about this one! Definately the most epic soundtrack ever. Every track is equally brilliant:



pokemon just for this:



and a special mention:
Just remembered another game with a soundtrack that can go Joint 1st with Persona 3 and 4, The World Ends With You. Not playing it for a while made me forget how awesome it's sound track is, spec Transformation and Three Minutes Clapping, the english-only tracks.

Best video game theme ever, now in concert! (give it a minute)
1. Final Fantasy 6
2. Shadow Hearts II
3. Doom
im not sure if this is the best VG song or the worst

i literally almost had an elliptic seizure from laughing so hard the first time i heard this
What the hell was that? It's so laughably bad. Literally!
On the other end of the spectrum, Bonds of Sea and Fire is one of the best pieces of video game music ever.

I completely forgot that song. It was LOL for a while, but after that, I didn't think much of it.

Not to derail the topic, but this is my favorite VG song of all time:


The rest:
