NOT COUNTING BOSSES, what would be your favorite battle music?

Myself, I'm reallying enjoying the eternal sonata battle music. When you have a long fight, it gets pretty awesome. Most normal enemy enounter music is pretty shitty IMO, so I was just how good this track is.

I'm sure I've heard better, but this is most recent and is all I can think at the moment.

Again, do not list boss battle music. These generally always kick ass, so I'm not interested in that.

well... I asked myself this question and even after not even playing the game since it first arrived Final Fantasy VII...
 
Not really focusing on RPGs, I wanna cite some other battle/action/fight themes that I like as well

-Mother 2- the freaky weirdo Mingus-esque battle theme with the awesome bassline
-Metal Gear Solid 2- the spastic, extremely percussive action theme in the Big Shell, plays when you're fighting regular soldiers
-Thunder Force 4- Desert level boss with the orbs rotating around him. Heaviest shit ever.
-Final Fantasy Tactics- ''Back Fire'' battle theme
-Deus Ex- action theme that plays when you're fighting in the Paris streets near the cathedral, block rockin' beats
-Breath of Fire 2- the battle theme is cool, uses those patented Capcom ''electric guitars''.
-Devil May Cry 3- second battle theme, the one that goes ''now you've really crossed the line'' etc
-Hitman Contracts- ''47 Detected'', uses that really low pulsing BWWWAAAAH, sounds scary, I love Jesper Kyd
-every battle theme from Shining Force 2, especially the last boss
 
Baten Kaitos had some pretty good battle music...Though it usually got lost in the "Take this! And this! Yah! How about this!? Say 'cheese'! I wouldn't wanna be you right now! Rising Thunder!!!"

I also loved all sprite-based Square battle music.
 
I like how Earthbound does it. Instead of one generic battle music for every enemy in the game, there are about ten or so different "themed" songs depending on the type of monster. So there's a unique theme for robotic enemies, a unique theme for alien enemies, a unique theme for creepy enemies, a unique theme for silly enemies, a unique theme for the hippies, and such.

Here's a sample of some of them.

Second.

Also, the enemy encounter theme from MGS. Its great tempo and catchy tune really helped the heighten the excitement after you heard the !
 
Just normal random battle huh? I guess that goes to:

Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne: the Town Battle music

Romancing Saga Minstrel Song (PS2 game)

FF I,IV,V,VI,VII,VIII,IX,X

Breath of Fire III

Persona III

Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga 2

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

Eternal Sonata

Baten Kaitos

Blue Dragon

Lost Odyssey

Grandia II and III

Dragon Quest III,VII,VIII

Valkyrie Profile

Thats about all that come to mind as far as normal battles.
EDIT: Can we get banned for posting direct links to mp3's for these specific songs? If so, I wont. Seriously because it's an injustice for people not to hear this stuff :D
