From the top of my head:

1. Turrican 2
2. Lost Patrol
3. Pinball Dreams
4. Flashback
5. The Settlers

...though I could come up of with a top 50 easily :-)

The top 3 of mine ..I mean the whole tracks not just one tune..
 
1:Settlers "could hear that music for several hours ingame with out going crazy.."

2:yo joe "simply awsome" Really wonder why this game diddent get more credit than it did...

3:Simon the sorcerer "my favorite game, everything seems to be well done in that game"

Wow, never expected 20 replies! Thanks for the posts, certainly some interesting view-points. I have three others I can think off from the top of my head which were also impressive.

* Banshee - Martin Iveson (Menu Music).
* Shadow of the Beast 2 - Tim Wright (Death music).
* Most other games composed by Blair Zuppicich & Olof Gustafsson.

Although I did think the Mega Drive/Genesis version of that Shadow of the Beast 2 death tune was a bit better some-how. Shame it's only 38 seconds long. :-(

Turrican I & II, Xenon II, Speedball 2, Hired Guns, Lemmings, Settlers, Alien Breed 3D CD32, Skidmarks II, Dr. Mario (by Trash), Lotus I, 2 and III, New Zealand Story, Pinball Dreams, Pinball Illusions...

...I'm sure I can think of more...

"Now, if it were demos... :-o "

 I think all games from psygnosis are beautifull (Cannon Fodder is the best, IMHO). The composer past away a few weeks ago, RIP.:-(

 If you want a very good collection of Mods, Total Chaos AGA (avaliable on Aminet) is impressive, too.:-D

 And, of course, The Killing Game Show (Psygnosis? I don't remember:getmad:), Walker (intro & gameover), and a pletora of great games.

 Oh, and JUMPING JACKSON! Great "stones" song.:-D

The Amiga musics I prefer are :

1. Some musics from the game "Rody & Mastico", the best balanced compositions I have heard on the Amiga.  I have never identified their composer.

2. Jean Baudlot's soundtracks for "Les Voyageurs du Temps" ("Future Wars" in English) and "Operation Stealth", featuring a fairly unique expressionist approach of music, that suits the module format very well.

3. "Project One" by Karsten Obarski : while most Amiga musics from demos or the 90's tend to cover up the perfectible quality of the 8-bit sounds instead of exploiting it, "Project One" is in my opinion as outstanding today as it seemed insignificant in the Amiga's glorious time.

Hybris is by far my favorite I think.  It was one of the earlier games but had really really great music.  

2nd place would probably be Stormlord, which was really well done.
