Since I have a load of movie and video game soundtracks, this is right up my alley.

Sorry flux, but I wanted to save my post for when I was at work.

I really like some video game music. But I prefer the full orchestral versions rather than the sequenced stuff.

I have a great renditions of the Legend of Zelda Theme, Final Fantasy 3 (NA) themes (FF6 in Japan), and the Super Mario Bros theme.

This is mostly orchestral stuff. I've got the Zelda and SMB themes too. Pretty nice. I think I have a Metroid one too somewhere.

I have Boston Pops recordings of Zelda and Mario medlies (separate). I like orchestrated stuff a lot better myself, I can't stand MIDI.

Soundtracks that I actually own:
Halo 2, Half Life 2, Fable (great stuff), Myst, Riven, Myst IV, Quake 2 (if you have the game...), Quake 3, Morrowind (also great)

I actually ripped music from Myst IV using a tool, IIRC almost 2 GB of stuff in WAV and OGG, but a lot of it was short riffs and whatnot. Still managed to grab about 50 good tracks out of it tho. And while Half Life 2, Quake 2 and Quake 3 aren't orchestrated, they're still good to listen to. I actually bought the Sonic Mayhem disc for Q3A. I also ripped some misc crap from Project Gotham 2 (modded XBox + FTP + game ripper = browsable game content on xbox HD), which had almost a GB of music itself in WMA.

Call me crazy, but soundtracks are great programming music.

I think the best one I've ever heard is the orchestral version of the Final Fantasy 3 (6, japan) theme.

Although, the funniest is by far the Stephen Hawking is a Quake Master one. Although, that's more just sound effects and a bass line.

at Assembly 2005 (IIRC) there was a Swedish band that played among other things the Giana Sisters theme. It was fun. Bass gitar, lead guitar, synthesizer and drum (IIRC) machine.
