THE BIG GUNDOWN
FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE
THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY
THE MERCENARY
NAVAJO JOE
ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST
And the greatest of these is ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST.
(I would not include GUNS FOR SAN SEBASTIAN, as it takes place in 1750s Mexico and so is not a Western.)

In terms of the sound of the music, Guns for San Sebastián absolutely falls in the Morricone westerns family. And it totally makes my list of favorites...

Not only the music, but the general tone of the film: conflict with Native Americans, gunfights, horses. It's a Western. Many Italian Westerns take place entirely in Mexico.
Thrilled about TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA. It doesn't quite make my top 10 (would probably fall at 11 or 12, largely because the rest of the score doesn't live up to the glory of the Main Title. But if this 2 disc set has expanded material, unused variations, etc., that could change).
My 10 favorite Morricone Western scores:
FIVE MAN ARMY
THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY
ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST
THE BIG GUNDOWN
NAVAJO JOE
THE MERCENARY
VAMOS A MATAR, COMPAÑEROS
FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE
A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS
GUNS FOR SAN SEBASTAN (definitely a Western!)

A list of five top Morricone western scores will only have me repeating what's been posted several times already. Not the most affluent of collectors and Morricone fans, with only a small number of exceptions I've restricted myself to his western scores, which is where my main taste for his music really lies anyway.
Guns for San Sebastian is definitely one on my list, and talk here has had me throwing it in the player this morning. As to it's classification, Lucas K describes it perfectly. "Historical adventure" set in 1750 Mexico.
But I think all Ennio fans have wanted Two Mules to get the right treatment for sooo long it's an essential purchase.
