Top 5 would probably be as follows:

1. Yasunori Mitsuda

----------------------

2. Nobuo Uematsu
3. Koji Kondo

----------------------
----------------------

4. Yoko Shimomura
5. Motoi Sakuraba

Paul Anthony Romero and James R. King were awesome.

Daisuke Ishiwatari.

estahuh

Koji Kondo is one of the few names I know. He did a lot of good scores.

Motoi Sakuraba. I'm most fond of his music.

No mention of Richard Jacques in the above posts, either you're all teens and have never played a sega, or you're all noobs and have never played a sega. 😛

I've played Sega Mega Drive more than you.

John Williams...

HA!

Jeremy Soule and Koji Kondo.

Koji is obvious but Jeremy Soule is a bit less known but his work is legenadry specifiaclly his KotOR score.

In all seriousness though even if we were to include non-VG composers I would still place Yasunori Mitsuda in the #1 spot. No other composer from any other medium or era can even slightly compare with him as far as the emotive and atmospheric quality of his music is concerned imo. His works on the Xeno and Chrono series were pretty unbelievable.

Really liked Harry Gregson Williams score for MGS2: Sons of Liberty. Other than that I don't know any composers.

if you guys could, please post up some examples from youtube or other sites, of some of these memorable songs. I'd like to become a fan of some of those composers if they are good, you know?
