What game has the best OST and why is it EarthBound?

Halo

I was going to argue that Chrono Trigger had a better OST, but your post specifically states Earthbound has the best OST.

I love Earthbound's OST to pieces. It's so good.

Honestly, I think EB has the weakest OST out of the Mother games. Not that it's bad, but I prefer the other two's.

Silent Hill has the best soundtrack because it is not only good, it does its job in adding to the atmosphere of the game.

I would say that the whole Mother series has consistently outstanding OTSs

I don't know if it's the best or even the my favorite OST, but it's one of my favorites and is easily one of the most diverse OSTs in any game.

It's actually Dustforce

Cure of Monkey Island

And it's not even close.

I preferred 3's honestly.

Pokemon has some consistently good soundtracks. Not the best, but there's plenty of good songs in the series.

Especially the older games.

All the Silent Hills have amazing soundtracks. Even Homecoming. But not Downpour.

I thought Curse of Monkey Island was better, to be honest

While Earthbound had the great strangeness, Mother 3 was gorgeous.

The Gameboy releases are God-Tier in my books. So good, Nintendo had to repeat them for 15 fucking years

You misspelled Paper Mario.

Halo 2 and Halo ODST.
Silent Hill 2.
Metroid Prime and Super Metroid.
Chrono Cross

I'm trying to think of a game soundtrack that didn't have a single song I disliked, but I'm having trouble with that. I think there are a lot of great OSTs, but to truly be the best, I have to at least like every song in the soundtrack.

Seriously one of the most consistently good soundtracks I've ever heard.

I wouldn't say it's the best, but it was definitely the most innovative.

The sampling was really ahead of its time.

Akira's work is absolutely phenomenal.

I especially love the more ambient tracks from Silent Hill 2, most notably: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azSKAgjBAzU
