The Donkey Kong Country 2 music is the best...

Off the top of my head the two best overall soundtracks I can think of are
1. Final Fantasy VI (SNES, GBA)
2. Jet Force Gemini (N64)

Both are impressive in their composition, and in how they use the hardware. Neither of them use pre-rendered music, like in many modern games.

Zelda 64 made good use of non-prerendered music too, like in the overworld theme. I can't think of many other games that use that technique of music changing depending on what you're doing in the game.

Also, the Metal Gear Solid series have pretty good soundtracks, even if the music isn't often incorporated in the game, more in cutscenes.

SSX - EA Sports snowboarding game. It has great music and a lot of it.

Oh yeah! I love the music from that. It was improved in SSX Tricky as well! (songs adjusted to whatever part of the track you were on).

Mega Man X music

I like really dramatic songs like the songs that play during Boss fights. OSTs that I like ar Super Mario: Legend of the Seven Star's and Secret of Mana's
