This is amazing.

I'll add another for Secret of Mana. It is just brilliant!
Also Seiken Densetsu 3 was good.
Lastly, Final Fantasy IX.

[Nifleheim7]

This is amazing.

Wow...indeed it is...

Super Mario RPG also has a great one.

Neir as a game needed some work but it's soundtrack was beautiful. A few songs would bring a tear to my eye. Most of the tracks are on youtube so just search under Neir Soundtracks.
Edit: In fact, Song of the Ancients

The Final Fantasy soundtracks go without saying.

As for others: Persona3 and Persona4 both had rather awesome soundtracks iirc.

For some reason I'm struggling to think of them tonight, which is balls.

But I do know that Wild ARMs 3 is one of my favourite soundtracks of all time FOREVER.

Nier ist ultimate. I would not say for sure that I love the soundtrack as much as I do love Final Fantasy VI's and VII's soundtrack but actually they are on par for me. At least Nier ist my favourite RPG after The Compilation of Final Fantasy VII and shares the 2nd rank together with Final Fantasy IX in my list - actually even rank 1 since I do not need to count The Compilation of Final Fantasy VII anymore.

BUT Nier has the best theme as Final Boss Theme of all the time TOGETHER with One-Winged Angel. And that mean's EVERYTHING for me, because both are not only the ultimate Final Boss Themes but the ultimate Themes themselves:

Since no-one's mentioned them yet, I'll throw in the the Hymmnos songs from the Ar Tonelico series Plenty of vocal tracks in those games, which is kind of expected for a game where songs/singing have a fairly central part of the storyline (no nothing to do with pop-stars and such ), and a wide variation in styles too I'll link to a handful below:

Shatter.

Hell yes. I put this on when I'm working. Fabulous.

Also, I'm throwing in my two cents for a predictable Chrono Cross OST and lots of Uematsu FF stuff. Unoriginal on my part, but this stuff rules.

Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts 2 are the ones that spring to mind immediately. Also, Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 was the absolute back in the day.

[I Don't Need A Name]

Silent Hill 2 and 3 are magnificant. Valkyria Chronicles has a good soundtrack too. Heavy Rain has some magnificant pieces. Also, if you count Visual Novels as games, then Clannad's soundtrack is a masterpiece

theres one game that inmediatly pops up when the words 'good games' come up:
Tomb raider (the old games, not the new ones :o)
Though this has more to do with personal value.
i remember how much fun i had when my dad played these games, and id sit next to him just watching and thinking along (he was doomed without me haha!!)..

Besides that Resident Evil 5 pops up. i think the game is amazing, played it like 10 times =D..
What a find a - point about this game is the fact that u cant play it online properly.. if u play the main story with a random person than u always get rushers... Ppl who upgrade theyre weapons to hell, and rush through it to get a good time etc etc... it ruins the fun completly!! i personaly dont care about throphies, records etc. i play for fun and the story.
Playing with computer isnt the best either caus it just doesnt do what i want xD..
so in that case im doomed to play this game only with my neighbour xD haha.. we make a good team :3
