I'd say sound is at number 1 for the most important part of a game, almost more important than even gameplay!
Since gfx (and sometimes even gameplay, look at Outrun etc) date easily, a great music soundtrack does not.
It's a shame a lot of developers now tend to skim over the soundtrack part. Because long into the future, the music and sound is what we remember the most.
