It is a fine soundtrack - two highlights for me are the gorgeous Holding My Thoughts in My Heart, a great ending to the first CD. And Life Stream - if there is a heaven, than Life Stream is the sort of music I imagine would be playing when you arrived.

(XD Why does it seem a lot of people don't like the theme to Gold Saucer? I mean, it was alright...)

To me, FFVII's soundtrack is one the best I've ever heard (well, I think it's by far the best, but I'm giving credit points to those than think otherwise...), and even after 6 years I'm still not tired of it Although the synthesizers, of course, are generally unpreferred, I found them a lot better than previous games' and don't mind them at all ^^ Of course, hearing orchestra versions of Aeris' Theme and One-Winged Angel were fantastic, along with piano versions of Tifa's Theme and Descendant of the Shinobi.

the gold saucer theme is fine, until you have been there for an hour, it gets very annoying very quickly.

FFVII has a strong soundtrack my favourites have to be "One Winged Angel","Who Am I" and the Jenova battle Theme when you battle Jenova on the Junion Ship. Though if you download the soundtrack and compair it to other FF games you can see how its not as strong as some,Personally i think FFIX has the best soundtrack its very board and i think the piano works well for the game.
