I've got LOTS of favorites. Let me name a few right here...
'Ballad of Enchantment' is definately one of my favorites, though I'm not sure why. It's certainly lovely, and sets a nice mood for an area that's nice to look at, but also full of things to do.
'Riverside' is nice and calm and relaxing, as is 'Background'. And just about ALL of the tracks in the area near the Fishing Guild. I especially love 'Mellow' and 'Stillwater'.
Diango's Little Helpers: Now this song speaks to me of getting ready for a truly festive occasion. Everyone is very busy and in a rush, but it's clear they love what they're doing, and are looking forward to the celebration to come. Charming and whimsical, it's not only a great theme song for Diango's pixies but a great song to play when hanging up the decorations during the holiday season.
Smorgasbord: Speaks to me of a wonderful celebration ... a truly grand party with friends both old and new. And indeed the 2009 Christmas event was just that, in the end.
Spa Bizarre: Now this definately captures the atmosphere of a quirky resort town where the fun is in full swing, and there's lots to do and much to see.
Magical Journey: Tells me that this is not just some ordinary land I'm travelling through, but one of magic, heroism, drama, and adventure, and that these things are near if you know where to look.
Parade: The original. This song is played on what sounds like a harpsichord and flute, and I can easily imagine it being played at a Ren faire or something similiar. Very nice, and enhances the atmosphere of a place on the outskirts of a medieval town.
Chompy Hunt: A fast-paced chase-type music, speaking of sighting something you're pursuing.
Baroque: Greatly enhances the atmosphere of an elegant, rich neighborhood with a thriving marketplace.
I've got more favorites, but I'll need more notes to talk about them.

More personal favorites of mine:
Serene: Serene is just what the title says for the most part. A nice, serene soundtrack to a quiet and peaceful place. There's a brief hint of 'Barbarianism' in the middle, thus reminding us of serenity's opposite (namely belligerant tension, which 'Barbarianism' speaks of) and thus helping us to appreciate peace and quiet even more.
Stealing Creation: Of all the tracks I've heard, this is the closest that comes to a RuneScape overture. At least TWO previous tracks are recognizably referenced in this one, 'Adventure' and 'Barbarianism'. Basically, it's a music peace that speaks of the world of RuneScape as a whole, and encourages us to think of various different portions of it.
But We Can Fight: This speaks to me on a number of levels ... recalling the emotion of the Chosen Commander quest, the knowledge that the whole Dorgeshuun society was founded on defying the Big High War God, and the determination to resist no matter what. And, ultimately, the triumph of good over evil. And ... well, I could go on and on about this one.
Miracle Dance: This one speaks of an ancient, long forgotten place that still holds much magic for those who know its secrets. Alternating between a slower, moving melody indicating the 'Miracle' portion and the catchy techno beat indicating the 'Dance', it's one I just HAVE to listen to all the way through when I visit the Mind Altar.
Born To Do This: It's truly epic sounding. It sounds like it's saying to the hero that he or she is about to undertake a challenge unlike any they've ever taken before. "Are you up to it?" it asks.
The Art Of Hocus Pocus: Makes me think of Halloween and trick or treating, and the general 'fun spookiness' associated with it. And of course it's also a good theme song for Maggie and her witch colleagues.
Okay, still more in another note, because I have a LOT of favorites.

More of my favorites:
Dead Can Dance: The opening notes and rhythm are not only catchy, but state that something VERY unusual is going on. Indeed, the dead have risen from their graves as zombies and are wandering around the graveyard. The music tenses up in the middle, to reflect the fact that these zombies can be pretty dangerous in large numbers so be careful when observing them. It then resumes its original pace for a while and fades out. I find it a must listen ... and I consider it both a fun piece of music, and great 'theme music' for a large collection of zombies.
Evil Bob's Island: Seems somewhat sinister, and also, if you listen carefully, it MIGHT just sound like an inverted variation of the RuneScape theme. Which would make sense, since the place (Evil Bob's island) is apparently in 'ScapeRune'.
Sea Shanty 2 (Port Sarim): An upbeat instrumental sea shanty that definately speaks of a 'port town' where sailors are loading and unloading cargo from ships, or sitting with drinks at the local seaside tavern. One of my personal favorites.
Conspiracy Part II: This one is very dramatic. It's 'you've stumbled upon a hidden conspiracy and you know too much. Now they're going to try to take you out'. Well, it definately fits that mood, and the tension grows as it goes on. It's a perfect soundtrack for a tense battle with shady characters.
Time Out: This music definately has a sense of urgency. It's a great soundtrack for any activity in which you have a limited amount of time.
On a more relaxing note, there's...
Expanse: This speaks of looking out over a wide open area that's full of life, as well as things to do. And there's even a city on the horizon (it'd probably be Varrock, since this track unlocks there).
Fishing: Good soundtrack for a fishing holiday at the shore.
Animal Apogee: This one is definately soothing and relaxing, and invites one to appreciate the beauty of nature. Something like that.
More favorites later...

The Adorno Series. I got the level required to do so today! Well not today since it's after midnight. O_o
Whoever made Adorno, give them a biscuit and a pat on the back. And tell them to keep up the good work!

For me, it's a tie between Temple Desecrated and Sound of Guthix. The other track unlocked during WGS is fantastic too, but I can't remember the name.
Also like Godslayer and Dusk in Yu'buisk.
Though why haven't you been more open with the credits for the Shanties? Most people don't know that Mod Liono sings them! (They're not on the Youtube vid either.)

Okay, some more tracks I like:
Night of the Vampyre: This one has a great, ominous creepy organ sound. Eerie and ... is gothic the right word here? Anyway, it's a great theme for the Vyrewatch (the flying winged vampires). It suggests that malevolent bloodsuckers are nearby, and you are in their domain. You're on their turf now, so be warned.
Halloween Party: Speaks to me of ... a Halloween party. Or at least people getting ready for one. It certainly captures the right mood.
Wild Isle: Speaks of ... "It's quiet. TOO quiet. Something is very, very, wrong here." A subtlely creepy track there.
Scape Sad: Speaks of a place that was once alive and thriving, but now is barren and lifeless, and a place of evil and death.
Sad Meadow: Speaks to me of a place that has become truly miserable, whose inhabitants are crying for help but you really don't know what you can do to help them.
Moving on to something more cheerful...
Gnomeball: Speaks of a fun pasttime, and athletic competition. It's energetic and upbeat.
Too Many Cooks: Speaks to me of somebody who really loves their work, but perhaps doesn't take it TOO seriously. A fun piece there.
Ancestral Wisdom: Speaks of a place that has gathered dust for centuries. But wisdom is still to be found there, if one knows where to look.
Waiting For the Hunt: Speaks of a waiting experience. Something's going to happen soon, but you'll have to wait first. See if you can pass the time by chatting, or just looking around until it's time for the fast-paced activity to come.
Clan Wars: This one speaks to me of being in a big battle. There may be a whole group of people out there after you and you might not be able to defeat them on your own. It speaks to me of, well, a big battle with several confrontations and pursuits going on.
More favorites later... (I do have plenty of favorites, and I like talking about why I like them) :)
