A discussion about boss battle music just isn't right without Shadow of the Colossus.  The entire soundtrack is amazing!  Here is one track:

 

This is probably the best soundtrack I've heared in any game :)

I agree!  It's definitely one of the best out there.

Yes, I like the track as well (I can easily listen to the entire OST).

How about this one, it's from the Sega Mega Drive time :P

Ah MegaDrive, my second love... even with its limited chipset it has some amazing boss tunes. Contra, Streets of Rage, Sonic, Vectorman all kicked ass...

Here is a genesis/Mega drive game a lot of people may have missed with a crazy good soundtrack.
