Well, a more accurate question would be second favorite video game soundtrack, since I know everyone's favorite is Jeehun Hwang's score for MechWarrior 2.

I am of the opinion that Jeremy Soule could potentially become the next John Williams if he were to move into film (and he's only 35! John Williams didn't start composing his truly iconic themes until he was well into his 40's!), but my favorite soundtrack for a specific game would be Doyle W. Donehoo's score for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II. Just take a listen to this epicness. I was quite shocked to find that he hasn't done anything that notable outside of this game.

Hmm... MechWarrior 2, Dawn of War II... I guess tabletop games have this habit of inspiring great music in video games based off of them.

Really like this from Dishonored, less a soundtrack and more an actual song though...

The Neverhood, and Skullmonkeys. Obviously.

Ones I can remember off the top of my head:

Spiderman: Maximum Carnage
Automobili Lamborghini
Halo (all of them)
Mass Effect
Streets of Rage
Mega Man X
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie (Even the character selection screen was epic)

The one track I remember from my childhood is in the game megaman legends. The music inthe town called kyosuke or something. The music was so sad but addicting. I would just power skate all over town to keep listening to the music.

Well, the OST from the Mass Effect series is really good, especially the one from ME1.

But since GaussDragon already mentioned ME, I'll stick with Witcher 1
