Favorite themes:
-Bike theme. For me, G/S/C always had the best bike music and this remix version is even better.
-National Park theme. Very calming and beautiful.
-Ho-Oh's battle theme. I got chills at the start of it when you face Ho-Oh. Very wonderful.
-Cerulean City, Celadon City, Ecruteak and Olivine/Violet city's theme.
-Trainer Red battle theme. Simply the most epic fight music.

I just noticed something. I mean, I noticed it before in Gen 2 but I guess I forgot about it until now. Both Ecruteak City and Cianwood City have the exact same music theme, only remixed in Gen 4. Both also have two Legendary Pokemon (which are counterparts of each other) just on the outskirts of town (Lugia in the Whirl Islands for Cianwood, Ho-oH in the Bell Tower in Ecruteak). I love the remix of Ecruteak's music more though :/
Does anyone know the name of the instrument they use in the beginning of the Ecruteak theme? The one that sounds Japanese (don't know how else to put it...)

Ecruteak theme is very good as well as Ho-Oh's theme. They really brought out the japanese Theme for them.
Route 47 and 48 were very good to me. I liked them as soon as I heard them.
Vermillion's theme was peaceful. I like that to.

I liked all of the rearranged music, but some of the tunes like Saffron's seem a little less vibrant, more "shy", if that makes any sense. I can't really describe it any other way...
The only two songs that I disliked were the GB versions of the Pewter/Viridian theme, and the Cerulean theme. I wish it sounded like it did back in the day, but somehow those tunes are a little bit different. I liked the Lavender Town theme, but it seemed a little too happy for the game... I guess it fits since there's only a small house there for the departed vs. the large Pokemon Tower that took up 1/8 of the town...

FINALLY!
I like the soundtrack, however nothing will beat the original. This is only based on what I've currently heard, which is up to Blackthorn.

I have really enjoyed the battle theme against the trainers (not the leader) in the gyms in Kanto. Having listened to the originals and quite enjoying those, just hearing that fantastic remix is simply amazing.
I loved the original GB music the most, but most of the new ones are quite pretty too. I especially like Goldenrod and the route music...not sure which one it is, the one west from Ecruteak City? Oh, and the Tohjo Falls music...and I haven't got to it yet but I remember loving the Vermilion City music on GSC so would like to see what they've done with that.
Although I used to LOVE the Game Corner/Lucky Number Show music and am not sure about what HG/SS has done to it at all. =/

Not in love with the slower and stretched out Goldenrod music.
I reaaally love Cianwood theme <3 Lugia and Ho-oh songs are also awesome. And Raikou's is awwwww, (L) Every song from this games is awesome. The only things I complain about are the songs of some legendaries. I mean, why the legendary birds don't have a song? And what about Mewtwo? I think they should have their own songs. I

Yeah, Lance and Red share the BEST music ever.
I used to hate the Kanto gym music, but now I love it.

I've just begun the game, and am extremely impressed with New Bark Town's music. Love that piano at the end...
In other news, I've listened to most of the soundtrack on YouTube at the time of Japanese release, and it was good, but not amazing. That said, I think hearing it within the actual game is definitely changing my mind.

I like Ice Cave's music the best. They did a good job in terms of remixing it.
Got to say that overall I am very satisfied with the HG/SS soundtrack.
My favourites;
-The Kimono Girls theme. Could not have done any better there, Gamefreak!
-The Johto gym leader theme. Awesomesauce, love the start of it, gets you pumped.
-The National Park theme, so peaceful.
-Lance/Red battle theme, still as awesome as the original imo.
