Sure, why not. I figured I'd copy board2.
Okay so what this is is basically like, I make a tournament bracket out of video game music suggested by you, and then you vote on which song in each matchup is better in your opinion. Whichever gets the most votes goes to the next round and such, until we get a winner.
For rules:
- You must post a youtube video or mp3 of the full version of each song you're nominating.
- You may submit a maximum of 4 songs.
- No remixes.
- No custom music made for unofficial games, i.e., ROM hacks.
- No unused music.
- When voting, please listen to both songs in each round.
- When voting, you may pass on voting for any number of rounds you like.
I suppose I'll give two weeks for voting. This means it ends on Tuesday, the 7th of September. No specific time on said date, but it'll be some time during the evening in central north america.
Any other questions: Ask away.
If I forgot something: Tell me.
Have fun!

Oops, mockingod already nominated it.
In it's place:
Super Metroid - Maridia - Sandy Desert
It's like the Jaws theme got stuck in The Twilight Zone #w{ }

Damnit FUGGNUTZ I was going to say Reset! D:
Well, here you go anyway:
Kushi's Ride - Okami.
The Sun Rises - Okami (what? I like Okami. :<)
Grand History - La MuLANA
Honestly can't pick which Touhou song I like the most right now since I must have a song from there. I might post again later I guess.

1. Okami - The Sun Rises
Blumiere nominated this already, and for good reason. Add in an outstanding final boss, mix in some of the game's main theme, and it makes this one of the most epic boss themes I've ever heard.
2. Kirby 64 - Neo Star Stages 2 and 4.
This theme does pretty much everything right. Nailing both high and low frequencies with some epic synth, it really is one of the greatest themes in the Kirby series.
3. Everquest: Omens of War - Nobles' Causeway.
Yes, this theme is actually from a relatively famous MMORPG back in the day. I guarantee no one here has heard it, but it is one of the most atmospheric and peaceful songs I've ever heard in a game. It truly fits the atmosphere of a ruined, ghostly canyon.
4. Klonoa: Door to Phantomile - Blue Cave Echo
I loved Klonoa when I was younger. It's a very underrated, but also a very good game. I rediscovered this theme recently, and remembered how awesome it was. Mix in a crazy time signature with all sorts of cool instruments (even a steel drum), and you've got a very awesome cave theme.
Non-mainstream stuff is the greatest stuff~

Interesting game!
Lufia II - The Last Duel
Simply beautiful and brilliant melody. Atma's port showed the "beauty" of this song, phenomenal piece of work. Really has an endgame feeling in it.
Enthusia Professional Racing - AWAKENING ~ Nürburgring Suite
Probably you haven't heard of this game yet, but this song is fantastic for sure!
Chrono Trigger - Corridors of Time
Who DOESN'T think this is a great music anyway? Probably the best one from the whole game.
Asterix & Obelix (SNES) - The Mountains
This song is so underrated, although it really needs some attention, in my opinion. The game itself may be an ass, but the song is simply perfect. Too bad this hasn't been ported yet...
Damn, it was hard to choose. I know soo many wonderful and amazing VGMs, but I had to choose only 4.. ;_;

I haven't played so many games, so all I can suggest is the obvious mainstream songs. Doesn't mean they're bad though.
NOTE: This is probably more of a "my personal favorite VGM" list highly influenced by the memories I associate with them instead of a compilation of the most well-"built" songs that I think would have a chance to win this contest. Oh well.
- Donkey Kong Country - Aquatic Ambience
Surprised nobody's mentioned this yet. Great melody, great everything - the perfect song to relax in my opinion. - Chrono Trigger - Secret of the Forest, Chrono Trigger - Memories of Green, Chrono Trigger - Corridors of Time
Although it's barely been half a year since I first played Chrono Trigger, hese songs make me feel like I was six years old, sitting in the living room on a Saturday morning and playing it while listening to its wonderful music. I would have suggested all of CT's songs, but I feel 3 are enough. (Yeah, I realize Corridors of Time has just been nominated, but meh.) - Cave Story - The Way Back Home, Cave Story - Scorching Back
My two favorite songs from Cave Story, which I just finished recently too. They don't feel as nostalgic as CT's songs, but that doesn't make them less awesome. - Ikachan - Main Theme
Created by Pixel, the guy who made Cave Story. I haven't played more than the first level yet, but the song's pretty cool. - Donkey Kong Country 2 - Stickerbrush Symphony
The obvious one. Very well-known, probably a tad overrated, but still pretty awesome. - Pharaoh - Khu
This one's not so mainstream. Pharaoh was (and still is) one of my favorite strategy games, and this theme is the most memorable one of this game to me.
I can't think of any more songs, but these should be more than enough anyway.
