Ironically, the two SNES games on this list were games where I couldn't even really get into them as games, but I can't deny that the music is really good.

Wow, that's a lot of love for first entries. Metroid there is particularly shocking, I'd say that's one of the worst soundtracks in the franchise and rather underwhelming overall. But well, I guess that's what opinions are for.

In most lists like this, I tend to be biased more towards first entries.  On top of that some of those games end up recycling their music in later entries, which biases me even more toward the first one.  

Metroid is a series where I have missed a few entries.  I have a couple of them on my backlog, so I will probably play through them this year.  However, I have at least started Metroid Zero Mission.  The music on it is extremely good, but it is all taken from original Metroid.  So original Metroid is what makes my list.
