Castlevania SOTN not being on that list is a crime.Personal rankings of the best video game soundtracks (that I've heard)
#1 - Chrono Cross
#2 - Xenogears
#3 - Chrono Trigger
#4 - Vagrant Story
#5 - Secret of Mana
#6 - Tobal No. 1
#7 - Mega Man 2
#8 - Secret of Evermore
#9 - Final Fantasy Tactics
#10 - Super Metroid
Fun fact: The top 3 were all led by the same guy, Yasunori Mitsuda.
Later I'll post some "best of" groupings of the lesser-known ones. I'm guessing not everyone is familiar with Tobal No. 1, Evermore, or Vagrant Story.
