ETA: Ugh, had a long post with links formatted and it got wiped out.

Anyway, you get the idea. Best original songs?

Five that come to mind immediately:

Bloody Tears (Castlevania series)
The Moon (Duck Tales)
Song of Storms (Zelda: OOT)
Bowser's Theme (Mario 64)
Turks Theme (Final Fantasy VIII)

This was a triumph
I'm making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS!
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction

Aperture Science!
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive

I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!

Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time
So I'm GLaD I got burned
Think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive

Go ahead and leave me...
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you...
Maybe Black Mesa...
THAT WAS A JOKE. Haha. FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great.
It's so delicious and moist.

Look at me still talking when there's science to do.
When I look out there it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive

And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing science and I'm still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.

Still alive
Still alive

Calling to the Night, Snake Eater, Heaven's Divide, Sins of the Father...all from the MGS series. From a collection standpoint, none touch that series for original music.
