Yuki Kaijura deserves a mention in these sorts of threads for her work on Xenosaga 2 and 3. Many composers would simply die before attempting to follow Yasunori Mitsuda, but she did pretty damn well.
Also, Motoi Sakuraba, for work on the tales of soundtracks, but also for Eternal Sonata. Every single track from the latter is beautiful, if not all very memorable.
As far as specific songs go, there's always the more recognizable stuff like To Far Away Times or Cosmo Canyon, but there's a lot of spectacular stuff out there not done by Mitsuda or Uematsu.
