1. Super Mario Bros. - the music is perfect and makes me so so happy every time I hear it. On a semi-related note, the music in Super Mario Galaxy is excellent and I've been listening to that soundtrack a lot this year.
2. Final Fantasy VI - absolutely fantastic, the pinaccle of all epic videogame soundtracks. I own the 3 disc OSV as well as the solo piano and orchestral CDs!
3. Shenmue - again, absolutely beautiful, especially the orchestral tracks.
4. Zelda
5. Tetris.
Wow, thats a surprising list.

Too many great NES soundtracks to mention. Everyone should pick up both albums by "The Advantage" ASAP! Great NES cover band.

Other than that, Super Metroid has some great epic and atmospheric music. And Trizeal, Hellfire, and Road Rash come to mind.

Can we put Johnathan Coulton's "Still Alive" from Portal on the list?

This looked like a fun thread to bring back up. Since the original post was about tracks, not entire soundtrack albums, here are my favorite individual pieces, in order. I figured we could post youtube embeds to facilitate sharing of the music:
