Name a few games that you feel are awesome or at least good, but you have to wear headphones if you want to play them cause the soundtrack sucks.
Great games with terrible soundtracks...

Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Marvel vs Capcom 2's soundtrack was decent. Jazzy and fun. But annoying as hell!
I want to say Beautiful Katamari. It wasn't a terrible soundtrack, some of it I liked, just not nearly as awesome as I expected it to be after playing Katamari Damacy
SSX Tricky and 3 both deserved better soundtracks. They weren't terrible, but just subpar compared to the quality of every other aspect of these games.
A lot of Level 5's games have mediocre music.
Was just talking about game soundtracks with Psy the other day, one we both agreed on that was applicable to this thread is the Tekken series. Awesome games, but god damn the soundtracks are always so hideously awful. Can only thing of one song that is good on Tekken 6. A lot of fighting games have generally poor soundtracks imho, wish more of them would take as much care as Arc Systems do. Guilty Gear and Blazblue series both have incredible soundtracks. Ragna's theme from Blazblue is one of the best video game tracks i've ever heard, love fighting to it as I find it really amps up the tension in an already ridiculously fast paced and over the top game.
Most sport games have truly awful soundtracks as well, EA in particular are terrible for that.
After Tekken 3 there were only like one or two tracks per game I liked
Tekken Tag Tournament had a good soundtrack. Once Tekken 4 came around the music was just ok from then on. Not bad compared to some other fighters I know (Virtua Fighter!).
Started playing Phantasy Star 3 on the Sega Collection & after about 5 minutes I had to mute the sound, the music was doing my head in! It wasn't just the fact the sound in game is MIDI, the music, in particular the battle music is really annoying by the 4th or 5th battle!
Halo Reach.
Don't know how you can feel that Tricky didn't have a smurfing mindblowing soundtrack, Pete :o I thought it was sublime.

soundtracks.
Oddly enough, I was thinking about Soul Calibur (Soul Edge) series when I was making this thread cause the first things I usually do when I play the series is switch to Japanese audio and mute the BGM. Soundtracks sounds like stuff on the cutting room floor of a James Cameron Titanic sequel...

Well most songs are pretty cool. However, I think the "Tricky" song became quite annoying after hearing it everytime you pull some tricky moves. I think that's where my 'meh' comes from!
Not the best, but they do a good enough job at using the Music to set the moods, so I give it slighly above mediocre.

Wow, I don't think I've ever agreed with you more in my life.
Talked with a friend about this and had a few others to add...
Star Ocean series - hell, Tri-Ace games in general. They just never really excel and often times feel like elevator music.
Breath of Fire 1 and 2 - There are a few good tracks but overall, most of it is pretty bland and generic SNES music. BoF3 was a bit better but really IV and V have the better soundtracks.
