Your top 10 favorite video game themes (from any time).

[sislermi]

I'm thinking of doing some more video game covers, but I want to get an idea of what people like. So I thought we could have fun sharing what are favorite themes are.
Soo..
If you could only choose 10 of your favorite video game tracks, what would they be, fyi: they don't have to be in any particular order, just say what they are.

I'll go first:

Mario theme (obiously), Zelda Overworld theme (obviously), Halo theme Mjolnir Mix, One Winged Angel (FFVII), Green Hills Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog), Skyrim Theme, Green Greens from Super Smash Bros., Fighting of the Spirit (from Tales of Symphonia), Any Pokemon Song from the Red/Blue Gameboy Soundtrack (pokemon center etc. they're all good), and To Zanarkand (from FFX).

What do you think?

Sorry I didn't put Kingdom Hearts, I've just never played it.

I'm curious as to what you guys will like.

Not 10 - just some random VGM themes I really like. 

[rachmaninoff_forever]

I think almost all of them are from kingdom hearts and final fantasy.
