Numerous Soundtracks follow me each day throughout all my years of gaming:
1.) Fortress of Lies:
https://youtu.be/UvIc2b4im_Q?t=81
(The feeling you get, listening to this mystery soundtrack while exploring is insane)
2.) TF-29 - Deus Ex:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMwpfR-ELnc
3.) Mirror's Edge Menu Music from 2008 - this thing is timeless. Just imagine yourself on top of a high building, blue sky and wind blowing in your face while 25 degrees outside. This soundtrack has a special place in my heart and is running 24/7 on Summer days:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWXao2AVDF8
(0:37 - listen to that part... ♥)
4.) The Touryst - Deep Diving:
https://youtu.be/xNTKGunERDI
(Exploring Underwater secret with this music got me...)
5.) Mirror's Edge Catalyst:
https://youtu.be/yIDvr_MQcAo?t=2147
(Just listen to this for a minute and feel the futuristic, calm environment thinking about yourself sitting on top of a building - summer breeze...)
Some extra Catalyst:

Olivier Deriviere makes a lot of great sound tracks.

I love Mirror's Edge's Still Alive
Also, Metal Gear Solid 5's Sins of the Father. I really should just go and play the full series at a point, but I'm a bit afraid of the Kojima factor :D

Sins of the Father is insane. Makes me wanna replay the game.

I see some that I already know, really nice stuff. Also, you're the first to mention League music, quite surprised by it, they are doing an amazing job at it.

I played a hidden objects game years ago called Margrave: Curse of The severed heart. This song was the title song and I really like it along with other songs by the same artist: https://helenlawson.bandcamp.com/track/this-town
I should also mention this song from Silent Hill Shattered Memories https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fm60NwsQewE
This one is probably my favorite as an in-game song, it's from ps1 game Apocalypse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1nsXxeuz4o

After downloading a ~500Mb file on a dial-up connection for installing Ultima Online(about 1998)
Took ages. It would disconnect often and lose the progress.
But eventually I got it finished.
Then you hear this

I used download resuming programs like GetRight and FlashGet back then since getting disconnected happened so often.
But yea UO was amazing. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
First thing on my list of things to do when a time machine is invented is to go back to 1998 and tell me about those programs :)
UO was really amazing. My first RPG/MMO. My computer was terrible so I tamed all the rats/dogs/cats and every other animal and if someone entered my house I'd release them. So much fun :D

haha, seems like it paid off tho. Having over 500Mb of storage at that time is already quite impressive.

Pretty much Andrew Hulshult's entire catalog. And those Polish guys who worked on Bulletstorm, Shadow Warrior, Witcher, etc.
EDIT: OK, I guess I can post an example or two:
Departure to Destruction (DUSK)
The Brakes Are Out (Bulletstorm)
A Nearly Peaceful Place (Witcher 2)

The one from Witcher 2 makes me sad and I don't know why, it's really nice. Also, the songs from Bethesda's games are really great, when they still cared about making games and not cash grab expantions.

I'm almost certain I've heard this song before and had no idea it came from a game.

Elena Siegman sang a number of songs for Treyarch when they made Call of Duty World at War. The first one you hear in zombies mode after beating the game or playing co-op zombies is Lullaby for a Deadman; Then The One, and I believe Beauty of Annihilation was the last one put into a zombie map. These songs would end up becoming iconic to call of duty zombies that they were put into the Black Op’s versions with new songs being made as well such as 115.

Eternal Sonata's game ending song Heaven's Mirror. had a lot of weight behind it once you played the entire game to get that ending song :(

thanks! bummer the game hasnt been ported to pc, but its soundtrack is all awesome imo!
i'm also adding Warframe's We All Lift Together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPTCq3LiZSE
and Warframe's Sea Shanty song Sleeping In The Cold Below https://youtu.be/-EtOAaK19bA

I'm not listening to all of them, many I already know, some that aren't really my cup of tea I just sort of ignore and say nothing about them. For the ones that are long, I only listen to bits and parts of them. And those that I really like I listen to them fully and save for later as well. I couldn't possibly listen to everything, especially since many people linked whole playlists or hours long full OSTs.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't about the greatest song, I like too many to list, but I know the only game series where the music was 100% essential to my experience because it explained the mood and setting perfectly was Ace Attorney. Here is a sample.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGOmsZfSJuw
A bonus earworm from a game I played recently (Chroma Squad). It played on the main management screen and was stuck in my head for weeks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjPfvlel96Q
The entire OST of this game is just right, and the main theme parody intro is a brilliant fit

Ace Attorney seems like a great game overall honestly.

Hitman:Blood Money - Ave Maria (not on actual ost since it's a cover of Ellens dritter Gesang by Franz Schubert) (pretty much all the ost to all the hitman games is amazing but this is my favorite)
Darksiders II - Guardian Theme (this is amazing, trust me)
World of Warcraft - OST It's magical.
Darksiders - Flight Over Ruined Eden
Warframe - We All Lift Together
RYSE Son of Rome - Descend Into Darkness
FInal Fantasy XIV - Rak'Tika Greatwood Theme "Civilizations <- This song is somehow a meme because of "La-Hee", but lets be honest, this song is amazing.
Claw(monolith) - Level 1 theme
The Dark Eye Memoria - End Theme
ARK: Survival Evolved - Main Themes(I personally like the Island, Aberration and Genesis 1 the best)
Path of Exile: Atlas of Worlds Trailer
No Mans Sky Debutante Trailer Theme
I might list more, many of the ones I already like, such as Supaplex, Mirrors Edge, Homeworld, etc. have already been listed.
PS: If unreleased games count, put Dead Island 2 trailer theme on the list.
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha, yeah, many of the great soundtracks have been posted already, I love both Darksiders songs! Final Fantasy is also quite popular when it comes to games music, I've listened to some in the past and they are quite amazing. Thank you for your contribution to the thread ^^

Andrew Hulshult - The Blood Swamps Heavy Combat Music (DOOM Eternal The Ancient Gods part 1 OST)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dLV-pbbBUg
Mick Gordon - BFG 10,000 (DOOM Eternal OST)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKbmBV7CBrw
These are two of my favorites from DOOM Eternal, but the whole OST is outstanding. DOOM 2016 and Eternal have two of the best soundtracks of games in recent years imo, but I'm probably a bit biased here since I love Doom and I'm a Metalhead :D
I'm kind of offended that no one has mentioned any of the classic Resident Evil games yet lol, here are few of favorites:
Resident Evil - Save Room Theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb_Bb8JA2pg
Resident Evil 2 - R.P.D. Main Hall
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm6nEwD4SF4
Resident Evil 3 - Free From Fear (Save Room Theme)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nblPAN7DaVQ
(Edit: and here's the RE3 Remake version as a bonus: Resident Evil 3 Remake - Save Room Theme)
But again, there's plenty more where that came from.
A lot of other good tracks that others have mentioned as well. There's SO many good game tracks that it would probably take months to list them all.

The Resident Evil games do a really good job at setting the mood of the game with the music.
And Doom is indeed a good example of how to make the music a big part of the gameplay by hyping you up and getting your blood pumping to exterminate some demons!

As I said before, Bethesda do a great job with the music for their games, or at least used to, when they still cared about making games.

Bonus points if it's an original score.
And here are my top two picks, because I couldn't only pick one: Hotline Miami and Rise of the Tomb Raider
