My top 5, across all official versions and games combined:

5. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XUS5X0kP6Y" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">Shadow of the Beast II theme, Mayhem 22, Original Amiga
4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtk152mCZ3c" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">London Bridge, Level 12 / 29, Original Sega Master System
3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MojGiPpksF4" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">Tim4, 10th(?) music in rotation, Orig/OhNo Windows 95 *
2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kleA6govF8Q" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">Alternate Space Level Theme, Tricky 12 & Taxing 8, Lemmings 3D DOS CD Music
1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8-DSQI7iOM" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">(unknown title), Level 13 / 30, Original Sega Master System

* You might recognize this as being the track used in *every* Oblivion level I made in Cheapo; though the version in LPDOS uses a different track as LPDOS doesn't have this track.

Two honorary mentions that were all quite hard to decide between for #5:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcLWlp1MchQ" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">(unknown title), 2nd music in rotation, Original DOS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s08dtSrbQk" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">(unknown title), 1st music in rotation, ONML DOS
My projects

Well, I played the DOS version (which, naturally, has my favourite version of the soundtrack http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" class="smiley" />), so I'll link to the DOS versions here.

1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcLWlp1MchQ" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">This one with the intense bass and the searing synth melody. (Although I suppose it's all synth, really.)
2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODwWeqoGy3E" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">This happy one with the bouncy bass line, and what might have been piano for the melody.
3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj3ciyepBJE" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">This quick-paced fun piano (?) piece. The recording I linked to seems to have some tempo problems, but maybe that's just my imagination.
4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJSaR_SWQcw" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">Ronda Alla Turka. Enough said.
5. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3rKd1MOMaA" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">Some Tchaikovsky piece about swans maybe? The darker one. There were two Tchaikovsky pieces about swans in L1, IIRC.

Now, I couldn't find the DOS version of this one, but this version of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mweEnJJChQ" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">A Beast of a Level for Mac seems pretty good too. I always liked how the sinister feeling of this song and the dark forest theme of the level it comes from complement each other.

Honourable mention: I've never played Lemmings 3D, but Prob Lem got me hooked on the soundtrack. My favourites remain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4cyhdQUjXs" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">Circus 1 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1vjpsPu3rY" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">Circus 3 (apparently there is no Circus 2?  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/huh.gif" alt="???" title="Huh?" class="smiley" />). Honestly, if I tare for my nostalgia filter, these are possibly better than most of the L1 soundtrack. They'd be good bgm for an RPG.
