I wanna choke you for bitching (#1) but I want to hug you for complaint (#2). Stop it already! #1 There's as much art to an effective & supportive game theme

  Haha ok I'll stop here :) #1 I just want to say that I own a good number of video games OST and that there are some rare gems, but frankly in my music collection the video game's part is a small, small minority. I think people here reacted strongly to my statement because when you think about good video game music, sure you can come with great examples (I love the OST for Castlevania Symphony of the Night, for example), but in the thousands of games I have played since my childhood, I can't seriously say, with a straight face, that there's more art in there than anywhere else. A good number of video games have been (and remain) sub-par in terms of production quality, and just like you don't have that many good stories/scripts in video games, you don't have many good musics either in the industry as a whole. Sure, you can have a catchy tune here and there, but is that really good just because it sticks in your head? I'll let you ponder.
