AoC which one a ton of awards for its music beat other MMO's hands down. For solo games I would go for FO, epic in the sense of wierdness as you saved the day to the sound of 50's music.
Always can use a little more Assassin's Creed! How about some good ol' chase music. If this doesn't make you want to run from shit, I don't know what does.
Some of the music from World of Warcraft's first expansion pack had bits in it that were so good I actually considered buying the cd and taking it to my audiophile HiFi lunatic friend's house.
"It's like a finger pointing away to the moon... Don't concentrate on the finger or you'll miss all the heavenly glory" (Bruce Lee)
(Insert your favourite mmo here): ......And behold, a pale horse.... And a million hellishly bad mmos followed with it.
I know this has nothing to do with game music. But When I listen to the first 50 seconds of this song. It makes me think of a crap load of mmo players in a real war scenario about to go to battle against hordes of troops. Trebuchets and Balista's lined up on a far cliff raining down upon the incoming front line of tanks. While a flank of wizards and rogues comes from the back side while both front lines of enemies clash. Oh the epicnesss of what raids could be in mmos...
Could you just imagine being a player about to seige upon a frontline in an open feild and hearing this music? Wouldnt that just totally get your blood pumping!?
I think AoC followed by GW and then WoWs later sound tracks were the top MMOs. AoC felt like more then game music. GW music just has some great style and theme and really brings you into the area you are in most of the time.
I really like Chorale music in addition to more heavy metal stuff. Not the stuff where they scream into the mic and play the instraments like they hate themselves more then everything else.
MEs music was wonderful. I had always liked Battlefields theme. A lot I am forgetting of course.

WoW, ME and Dragon Age, Morrowind and Oblivion all have amazing soundtracks.
But Age of Conan wins.
And no-one has linked the best track fro it yet!
