Preference of best music is highly subjective.What dictates what is best and why ? There can be many right answers and many wrong answers.Inquiring minds want to know !

I think we'd get more accurate results if there were three categories: (1) band theme pins, (2) movie theme pins, and (3) original theme pins.

One of my favorite pieces of music is Funhouse at Midnight. But overall soundtrack I personally am extremely partial to BOP... it's just awesome in its unusualness.

Time Machine has a great soundtrack.
Radical! has a really neat 'live lead' feature where the lead melody changes as you hit shots. As a result, it's different every time you play. Pretty neat-o.
JM is a nice sounding pin, especially with a sub added.
RFM is in a different class. The audio quality is beyond any other pin, and each mode has it's own soundtrack. SWEP1 sounds great too.

RFM wins.

The music in BOP is incredible. It truly immerses you in the theme.

Same can be said for Tron, which gets my vote here.

Even though i love the music in AC/DC, it's not original. Not like Black Knight 2000. Just a
rocking Pin.

This is a sample, but there is much more while you are playing...

Black Knight 2000 won an award when it was released for 'best music in a pinball machine to date'. While the after-jackpot music doesn't thrill me, the rest of it is solid and awesome.

Swords of Fury has understated but very cool music (love the Bach fugue it plays for a high score). Taxi has good music as well from that era, and while I'm not a terribly big fan of playing Bad Cats, it has some great music.

Phantom of the Opera has one of the most unique sounds.

And Fish Tales . . . not the standard banjo music that plays throughout, but if you get a high score, the Calypso kind of music is awesome. Seldom heard but so different when the time comes. And it plays for a long, long time.
