I always thought video game music rocked. Even at school when I was a kid, I thought Mega Man music was better than the radio. Nowadays, with RPGs and their stories stealing hte spotlight from movies and TV, their composers are getting their due. I applaud Nobuo Uematsu for using a then untapped medium for creating his compositions. I have a friend who's a music major, and doesn't like video games. I played him some classic FF6 music, and he was quite impressed. Right now, I'm playing Star Ocean 2 again, and I just ordered the soundtrack. I love Motoi Sakuraba's compositions for it.
