There are many changes between SimCity 3000 and its immediate predecessor SimCity 2000.
The 2013 reboot expands the soundtrack as your city increases in population and they saved the better tracks for later.A mature city in SimCity 3000, featuring a population higher than 1 million. It is the only melody to appear in both the (unreleased) NES port of the game as well as the SNES port. Composer Soyo Oka named "Metropolis" as one of the favourite tracks she has ever composed (alongside "Rainbow Road" for Super Mario Kart and the menu theme for Pilotwings). This is every bit as awesome as it sounds. "Village" and "Town" were orchestrated for the second Orchestral Game Music Concert back in 1992. The gradual increase in energy from the laid back Village track to the triumphant Megalopolis track suits the growth of the city perfectly. The SNES version of SimCity has a different BGM for all six city sizes, every one a winner: Village, Town, City, Capital, Metropolis, and Megalopolis. 
Worse still, it's unchecked by default, and if you do check it, then it's the only song that plays! It always plays after you obliterate the city.

And now for Something Completely Different, we have the terrifying "Primordial Dream", a terrifying and, quite frankly, oddly out of place tune which would fit in quite well in a series like Silent Hill or Fallout. Then there's dusky, sleepy "Street Sweeper". The beautiful, rolling "No Gridlock" easily evokes Arcadia. "Chain Reaction" is a great piece for building and admiring high-tech industrial zones. "Night Owl" is fitting for a seedy area at night. "The Morning Commute" from the Rush Hour expansion is even more stunning. Sim City 4 also has "Wheels of Progress". #SIMCITY 3000 OST FULL#
Rush Hour is a rather spicy jazz piece that is very suiting for a city full of highways, shopping malls, offices, and "busy" areas in town.Along with the mesmerizingly epic Oasis.Sim City 4 has the stunningly awesome Epicenter.and then there is the garage music, which is predominantly composed of garage noises. The entire hard rock playlist ("YOU'RE THE CZAR IN YOUR GOOD OLD KICK-ASS CAR!").Bluegrass 3 and 6 ("I'm just a on the windshield of life.").Despite the game being unfortunately riddled with Obvious Beta bugs that probably will never be fixed (since it was released back in 1997), the soundtrack actually manages to be even more memorable and awesome than the SimCopter score, and many of the songs were recycled into The Sims and even The Sims 3. Streets of Sim City received the same Jerry Martin treatment in the music department.
Jazz 5 especially shines among the jazz tunes (just listen to that sax!), but we've also got Jazz 4 and 6. The Career Menu theme, and the orchestrated version that plays as the Hangar Backdrop. While the literally horrifying graphics of SimCopter left much to be desired, the soundtrack went a long way towards making up for it. Magic City is six minutes of distilled, beautiful awesome. The Ambient and Epic New Terrain, which almost always plays when you're staring at a blank canvas that will become a new city. Seriously, of all the SimCity 3000 Music, Broadway is the most upbeat and dynamic. The songs are especially awesome due to the fact that they aren't just jazzy sounding melodies, but full, complete jazz songs, right down to the amazing improvs, which aren't generally used so completely in regular gameplay elsewhere (generally being only used for credits or special sequences and such), and they have a great band besides, especially in SimCity 3000: Their composer, Jerry Martin, is a genius. 
If you're a fan of jazz music, then you can't go wrong with the soundtracks to pretty much every SimCity game since 2000.
