I sometimes get video game songs stuck in my head for days on end. What songs are you favs? Here are some of mine...
T2-Boss Level (Sega)

Doom (2nd level)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7XRdn87hg0
Super Mario (above world)

GTA Vice City - Love Fist's Dangerous B@stard
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pk1kPD3Gsw
Though no specific examples come to mind DS, I've always been a fan of the various boss musics from the Final Fantasy games and most anything from the Legend of Zelda games. The overworld tune from Zelda II comes immediately to mind.
LORDS OF THUNDER (for the Turbo Graphix 16 CD attachment)
If you're into squealing guitars and loud metal, than the soundtrack for this legendary shooter will make you happy.

Oh definitely. Often overlooked in the pantheon of classic NES tunes. Good one DS. Looking forward to the new Wii game this year! :teddyr:
The "Terran One" theme from Starcraft.
Absolutely every track from the GTA: Vice City games and the Ace Combat games have some b***hin' ST's:

Air Combat has some cool synth stuff too:

I'll second Chrono Trigger, Castlevania: SotN (the only game soundtrack I've bought on CD at this point) and Donkey Kong Country. DKC2 had a lot of good music, too.
Tetris Attack actually had some cool music:

Sould Blade/Soul Edge had great music. The PSOne release had cool arranged soundtrack options, and the Khan Super Session versions were really great:
Rock stage

Li Long stage

Dammit, I haven't played this game or heard the music in years. I'm gonna have to buy a copy on eBay.
Pretty much every boss fight in the original Nightmare Creatures had some butt-kicking music. Actually, the whole soundtrack was pretty cool, but the boss fights were the coolest.
Keep in mind, I'm posting this right now on a computer with no speakers, so if the following video has crappy audio, or none at all, I'm sorry. I'm just posting what I guess/hope is the right tunes.

Man O man! Did I love that game! It was sooo cool, even though the controls were quite sluggish and there were a few glitches. You can't hear the music that well on that vid Bill, it doesn't seem to feature the "NC theme" track on it either.
The Streets of Rage games on the Sega Genesis had some great music.

I also always thought that Shibobi 3: Return of the Ninja Master for the Sega Genesis had some catchy musical themes.

Ninja Gaiden (NES)

My absolute fav is between 1:14 and 2:37
Killer Instinct (probalby the best arcade soundtrack of all time IMO)

I always liked the NES game Willow (based on the movie). It was a complete Zelda ripoff, but the game was lots of fun, and the music was catchy.

I've never really played Chrono Cross (I guess I should since I adore Chrono Trigger) but its soundtrack is superb:
