Castlevania: Symphony of the Night has "the best" score to grace a game. It is fluid, well-written and highly varied, all of which only compounds with the action to make the game even more enjoyable. Most of the Castlevania games have fantastic soundtracks.
Shadow of the Colossus has "the best used" score in a game. It of course is very well-written as well but what makes it stand out more, instead of it being varied is the fact it is used so well in conjunction with the action on screen. Some of the transitions between tracks are a little abrupt but for the most part only give a sense of "epic" that can hardly be found any where else in gaming. That and the fact you don't hear music unless during a cutscene or when fighing a Colossus only gives the player an even greater feeling.
It has an anthology of music from some of the best videogame franchises that pride themselves on great production values.

Yeah I agree. Old school Ninty games had some awesome and just plain classic music. Sometimes I still find myself humming tunes from Donkey Kong Country and Kirbys Dreamland, especially the final bossfights.
And since I'm replaying Mario RPG on wii(finally!!!), I thoughted I'd mention how great and memorable that score is as well.
