Paul's theme is a nice rock song that keeps you on your toes with its seemingly discordant rhythms.

Nina's theme (by Keiichi Okabe) is an awesome bass guitar-driven track.

The arcade version is nothing to sneeze at either.

PS1 remix has some more techno elements to it.

Jin's theme (by Keiichi Okabe) is another solid rock piece.

Forest Law's Theme doesn't sound like all that but gets better the farther it goes.

Julia's theme in the PS1 version is based on it.

The hidden characters theme is great to rock out to.

It also introduced a few of the composers who would go on to make the most iconic soundtracks of the series, including Nobuyoshi 'sanodg' Sano and Keiichi Okabe.

Tekken 3 began featuring more rock and electronic music compared to the first two games. One of the singers eventually went on to voice Asuka starting in 5. Landscape Under the Ghost -KAMINANO-, the Ending theme.Despite the Engrishy title, it's both energetic and relaxing, resulting in pure awesome. It later got used in Tekken 4's Tekken Force mode and was the music for Kazuya's Super Smash Bros. The arcade version of Kazuya's stage, with its drums and haunting instruments.The song features a more downtempo rendition of the main melody of 'Emotionless Passion' as you confront the True Final Boss, the Devil residing in Kazuya (or Angel if you're playing as Devil). Devil Kazuya's and Angel's theme, 'Be In The Mirror'.Even now, many still consider it the best piece of stage music in the entire series, particularly the arrange version for the console release. Japanese guitars, percussions, and electronic sounds all combine to make for an intense soundtrack as you fight the boss of the game.

Kazuya's theme, 'Emotionless Passion'.Unique among the mid-boss themes as the only one not taken from Tekken 1. The soundtrack captures the atmosphere of fighting in the middle of a thick forest haunting and beautiful all at the same time. A great mix of funk and electronic music. Paul's theme, Paul's Miracle Death Fist.The music starts on a grand note as though introducing the atmosphere of a church, before transitioning into fast-paced techno as the fight continues. The stage it plays on is a beautiful grass clearing, and the music adds to its relaxing effect. Black Winter Night Sky, the opening theme to the second game.If that doesn't suit you, then chances are that the more lively arranged version used for the PlayStation port will. It lets you know that things have taken a turn for the worse since the first game. The early games were ripe with awesome music, as par for Namco games in the 1990's. Suits the beauty and grandeur of the city of canals. The only stage BGM NOT used in the sequel. A pretty fun jazzy sounding number, that fits the city quite nicely. A really soothing song that fits perfectly the serene beauty of snow. This was used for Anna in the sequel, even though her stage is the Taj Mahal, India. The title? 'Here is the Point of No Return'. One of the most unsettling BGMs you're likely to ever hear in a fighting game, it really does evoke the feeling of being stranded in the middle of the desert and fearing for your life. This was used for Armor King in the sequel. Bonus points for its awesome title: 'All Things Are in Flux and Nothing is Permanent'. So awesome that it got remixed for Tekken Tag Tournament 2, more than 15 years later! This was used for Roger and Alex in the sequel. Most tracks, however, were deemed worthy to be reused for the second game (the following links are for the re-arranged versions): The first game had relatively more subdued music than the rest of the series.
