I picked Nobuo Uematsu I really like his work on the Final Fantasy games but I'm very disappointed not to see Koji Kondo not up there. He was the mastermind behind all of the awesome music in Nintendo's games such as The Legend of Zelda games, the Super Mario games, and the Starfox games (or at least Starfox 64). Koji Kondo has got to be one of the top 5 best composers of video game history.
