Well, you already beat me to Pokey Means Business. That's good because it's a must-post for any boss music thread.

Gang-Plank Galleon is sorta similar to that legendary track in that it starts off slowly and then poo poo goes down.

The Smash Bros. remix isn't as good but it's worth posting anyway.

Same with the fight with Giant Bowser in Yoshi's Island.

Nobody's posted FF6's main boss theme (The Decisive Battle) yet. I never played it that much but I do appreciate a good piece of boss music.

The Dark Samus fights in Metroid Prime 2 are great and so is the music that plays in it. Really adds to the atmosphere of fighting in a Phazon reactor room or an elevator.

Speaking of fighting on an elevator, Gandrayda's fight in Metroid Prime 3 is a creepy and unsettling track. Rundas's fight has the more rockin' theme, but this is perfect for an opponent that shapeshifts.

I wish Smash 4 had more music from the Metroid Prime games, they didn't have a single track from them that wasn't already in Brawl.

Mother 3's overworld music isn't as good as Earthbound's, but the battle themes are excellent. None are better than the one that plays when you face Natural Killer Cyborg.

Super Mario World has a good boss battle music that plays when you face Reznor or one of the Koopalings.

Its Smash Bros. 4 remix is one of the best new tracks in the game. It sounds like something that would play in a spaghetti Western movie.

Kraken of the Sea isn't strictly a boss track in Earthbound, but it's closely associated with a boss so close enough.

I already mentioned the Rundas battle theme from Metroid Prime 3 so here it is in earnest. There are nice bits and pieces from other boss tracks in the previous two Prime games.

The Omega Ridley boss battle in Prime 3 is the most ridiculous one in the trilogy. It also has another cool remix of Ridley's theme.

In spite of having one of the lowkey cheesiest spoken lines in a video game ever, Gandrayda's boss battle is good and difficult, no thanks to the health that you probably won't have just to get to the fight. The unsettling music that plays during it is appropriate.

Kid Icarus Uprising has a lot of great music. The main boss battle theme is among them.
