Literally just about to post it!

And this (Mark Morgan)

Edit: ooh ooh forgot this one, also gets regularly listened to still. The theme composer is Danny Elfman, the rest Russell Shaw.

The ff7 sound track was pretty immense made a great game an all time classic

Total Annihilation OST is still my favourite game OST and X-Wing Alliance (but it sort of borrowing quality film music there)

Omg I loved that track, I can listen to it for hours. Although right now I tend to like "costa del sol" as its so warm. Plus my ipod has this interesting habit of playing the Shinra theme when I walk through the door at work sometimes

The Orchestral Soundtracks to the PS3 game Super Stardust HD are a personal favourite of mine. Will have the audio nice and loud / wall rattling for this one
