The music from Mega Man 10 is the strangest creature ever. On one hand, it assembles composers from each Classic Mega Man entry in an all-star jamboree. On the other hand, their contributions are perhaps some of the most boring tunes in the series, and it's up to the Wily tracks and beyond -- composed by the Inti Creates sound team -- to carry the remainder of the soundtrack. That's not to say the music is "bad," simply that you have to give it time to grow on you.
That said, there are a number of tracks from the game that I would consider among the best in the series. One in particular is "Solar Inferno," the theme to Solar Man's level, composed by Mega Man 3's Yasuaki Fujita. A high-octane, bass-heavy, thrash-influenced number, it's unlike any other Classic Mega Man song.
Patrick "NukaCola" Kulikowski covered this insane jam as part of his VGdrum project earlier this week, but I waited until the E3 stories started to die down before sharing it with the rest of you. His skills are getting better by the day, and this "Solar Inferno" arrangement may be his best work yet. By the 1:03 mark, he just kills it. It's not even funny.
Here's my favourite MegaMan drums cover. This guy is technically one of the best in the world, and basically unknown thus far:

I totally I agree, and number 3 is my favorite soundtrack in the series! And as a drummer, I found the video mildly entertaining.

That was very impressive! Just the other week I was complaining how there are only metal VG cover bands, and how AWESOME a world-influenced Mega Man cover band would be. This guy NEEDS to get a band and cover some complete songs!!!
"On the other hand, their contributions are perhaps some of the most boring tunes in the series."
Personally disagree. I really like MM10's tunes. They're meant to be more fitting to the environment than previous Mega Man games, which are more about being catchy as shit. I definitely prefer 10's over, say, 4 or 5. Or 7. Hell, even 3. Or hell, even 1. MM10 Robot Master fight theme is my favorite RM fight theme in the series, and I love Solar Man's theme. :D
D'AAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!
