No Metal Gear game would be complete without a memorable song to end it with, and Sons of Liberty is no exception with Can't Say Goodbye To Yesterday.
It's actually a demonstration for an entirely different game called Evolution Skateboarding and the music is a punk-ish remix of the main MGS2 theme.
On a completely different tangent, there's the music that plays when you play the skateboarding mini-game in Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance.
Unfortunately it isn't available on any soundtrack.
The Menu Music is absolutely great in setting the tone for the game.
Arsenal's Guts, a song that plays near the end of the game and has some of the thickest and spookiest stealth atmosphere to ever hit the Metal Gear series.
Just listen to the alert mode at 2:18 and Olga's battle theme at 6:45.
Tanker Incident (especially during the alert phase).
"Twilight Sniping", the incredibly relaxing tune for all the parts with Emma.
Father and Son, the music for the battle against Solidus.
Awesome with an undertone of creepiness that suits the bosses perfectly.
Let's give MGS2 some love for "Yell Dead Cell".

Notably, this is the first game in the series to bring Hollywood composer Harry Gregson-Williams on board to do the music, and his style shows throughout it and all later Metal Gear games he contributed to.
And the intense version from the original Metal Gear Online, used for the first part of Liquid Ocelot's final boss battle in MGS4.
The boss theme version from the original, titled Duel.
Also, the original version of "Encounter" stands up surprisingly well, and even got remix made for Super Smash Bros.
Check out Soldier vs The Ghost, Assassin vs Saladin, and Snake vs Mantis.
Say what you will about the Twin Snakes remake, but you can't deny that it had a good soundtrack.

Fan Film Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy adds "Will There Be an End", composed specifically for the movie and performed by the same singer who did "The Best is Yet to Come".
In the original, Mantis' Hymn was a prelude the Gamecube remake also used it for the battle.
Sung in English by Donna Burke instead of Irish Gaelic and Aoife Ferry, the new version lacks the optimistic vibe of the original, giving a feeling of sadness at what was lost despite better days waiting ahead.
"The Best Is Yet To Come" was remade in 2015.
The original game also gives us "The Best is Yet to Come", played at both the beginning and end, and Mantis' Hymn, an appropriately awesome theme for one of the best boss fights ever.
