It's still out there, actually there are tons of games with amazing boss music, this was just the first thing I thought of cause I'm playing it currently.

Wow, thanks for these...

Some that really stand out for me are on top of the Xenoblade and Dark Souls we already discussed:

Final Fantasy XIII-2 OST

The Last Story Music - The One Ruling Everything

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers - Final Showdown

Others that are fully symphonic and orchestra/choir based I find meh, but that comes down to music tastes. I need a beat and dynamics in my boss music... :)

No problem. Yeah, I tend to like the really big, operatic and epic boss themes the most. To me it just makes the battle so much bigger and grander, giving it weight and keeping me at the edge of my seat, even iof it isn't too hard of a boss fight.
