GameSoundCon 2010: "Introduction to Game Audio"
Well, I like all the classics like early Megaman, Nobuo Uematsu, Yasunori Mitsuda, Hitoshi Sakimoto, anything from Falcom (Y's, Xanadu, etc).
There are some truly oddball compositions out there that are dear to me, like a lot of the work of Zuntata, which was an in-house band for Taito in the 90's. Similarly, a lot of the weird, sample-based music from the Amiga-era, from people like Chris Huelsbeck, Dave Wittaker and Rob Hubbard.
In recent years, from Japan I've really gotten into anything that Yoko Shimomura has done, and Michiru Yamane upended/revitalized some of the later Castlevania's music in the best way possible.
I will always go to Koichi Sugiyama's Dragon Quest music whenever I want to turn someone on to truly beautiful game compositions (chills), or just relax. Also Matt Uelmen's music for Diablo 2 and Torchlight games also veers toward more contemporary genre's, but is atmospheric, masterful and provides a really well-done alternative sound for what we usually get in interactive media.
Some super strange stuff that just sticks out as not belonging anywhere else: Katamari Damacy's OST, the VibRibbon soundtrack, the Neverhood soundtrack by Terry Taylor, the hidden gem that is the "Moon: Remix RPG Adventure" soundtrack (seriously a great one; check it out).
I have a lot of game music and it's my primary soundtrack while I work.
Whar are your favorite game tunes?
Hiromi Uehara Kicks Your Ear's Ass - "XYZ"
If this is too discordant and erratic, try : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVNAdwFFWjI
Thanks for posting this, really. I hadn't heard of Himori Uehara before and I'm off to buy everything she's ever done and send her envelopes full of my hair.
Self-fascinated wall of text time!
I write music and the more I learn and develop, the less music seems interesting, like the "magic" is slowly being eroded the more I understand composition. Classical, prog and jazz - really good jazz - are protected against that effect, and remain as amazing as they were the first time I ever heard them. Jazz is especially stimulating and fascinating, although I still love everything from Muse to King Crimson to Nobuo Uematsu to Miles Davis. Hiromi Uehara just makes me want to blow my fucking head off with 12 gauge.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer- Tarkus (Eruption) Tokyo 1972
Boss music, lol. Makes sense, I mean, most boss music from the Final Fantasy series is progressive. For similar music, listen to Pink Floyd or King Crimson:

This most assuredly inspired Nobuo Uematsu.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer- Tarkus (Eruption) Tokyo 1972
On a related note it sounds like boss music from some Final Fantasy game. Maybe Nobuo Uematsu was in the audience and got inspired.
Final Fantasy X - To Zanarkand
Ah yes. He did compose this. According to the wiki article, 'The series of concerts features music composed by Nobuo Uematsu and arranged by Shirou Hamaguchi and conducted by Taizo Takemoto.'

I never played FFX even once, but I love this piece too after hearing it in the trailer for the game.
Final Fantasy X - To Zanarkand
I never got through the game, but I absolutely love this piece.
And the main final fantasy composer is named Nobuo Uematsu, though I don't know if he composed this.
