I have been playing Chrono Trigger for the DS a lot recently and my god, I forgot just how good the music for the game is. I'd even go so far as to say that it's one of the only games I've really paid attention to/actively noticed the music. It's just so atmospheric and adds to the game so well.
So here are some of my favourite cuts from the game (it's actually astounding how many different pieces of music there are, once you start listening for them):
First the battle music, a good staple of any RPG. The bassline is excellent and I want to write a song based around it (shh!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1ClGL7kZ28
Next up, Lucca's theme. So very uplifting and inspiring: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BYxC7uEC_0
Some more epic stuff, "Courage and Pride". This music plays in a castle and is awesome and makes you want to be heroic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiMn6Ud3egU&feature=related
Boss Battle Music. Only just behind Final Fantasy VII boss battle music in terms of quality, and has a great organ part. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phVwKSjz0cc
And finally (so I don't overwhelm you too much), possibly my favourite track, "Wind Scene". It's just so plaintive and haunting, which is fair enough for travelling back 400 years to medieval times when the kingdom is embroiled in war. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YahK0kMq-_U
I've also elected not to link to Robo's theme, which sounds an awful lot like a certain song that has become popular on the internet of late, perhaps a little too much so. But it's all good.

There has been recent talk of Robo's theme by people online suggesting that if it weren't for the recent internet phenomenon of which you speak that nobody would mention the similarity but, y'know, there were people around to experience it the first time.
Also: Lucca's theme is my long-term favourite.
