NHL '94 had great intro and menu music, this was back when EA actually used to be good. Before the dark times. Before the deaths of Westwood Studios and Maxis. Before the empire.
Another 16 bit game, this one is relatively obscure, and made by the infamous LJN that gamers used to avoid back then, but it had some groovy tunes.
Spider-Man's Theme
Cyclops's Theme
Wolverine's Theme (this one is a bit creepy, in the game there were also laughing clowns trying to annoy Wolverine
)

Usually, I consider it a bit lazy when a composer bases the bulk of their pieces on a single melody, but when said melody is pure gold, and accompanied by such a great selection of instruments, I can't help but throw that criticism out the window.
Tracks of interest:
-Escaping the Ruins
-Felling Kuro
-Light of Nibel
Naru, Embracing the Light
-Riding the Winds
Metroid Prime
It has a distinct sound to it that nothing else has properly captured since, not even the sequels.
Tracks of Interest:
-Chozo Ruins
-Hive Mecha Incinerator Drone Boss Theme
-Main Title Theme
-Phendrana Drifts
-Talon Overworld (Version 2)
MotorStorm and MotorStorm Pacific Rift
Basically the foundation for my current taste in music. Lots of great Metal, Rock and Electronic tracks between them.
Tracks of Interest:

-Kings of Leon - Spiral Staircase
-Lalula - Supa Bajo (Instrumental)
-Pendulum - Slam
-Slipknot - Before I Forget
-South Central - Golden Dawn
The Crew
One thing that tends to go unappreciated about The Crew is its interesting orchestral soundtrack, one that has been unfortunately trashed with the sequel.
Tracks of Interest:
-Backalleys
-LA Inked
-Payback
Thunder Force 3

There is some amazing music in RDR2. Even the campfire folk songs are great.

One of the things that made MW2 so great was the soundtrack thanks to Hans Zimmer

Been listening to the Emperor: Battle for Dune soundtrack lately. This is a relatively unknown RTS game from Westwood Studios, a bit of a hidden jewel. The tracks I'm posting were composed by Jarrid Mendelson and David Arkenstone, for House Ordos and House Harkonnen, respectively. I can't believe I haven't posted these yet.
Failure is not an option. That is the imperative.
Not an Option
The Strategist
For the Baron!
House Harkonnen
Harkonnen Force
Tribute to Evil
If you liked these, be sure to look up the rest of the soundtrack, ALL of them are this awesome.

Got an upgrade for my Switch's memory card and went back to reinstall a bunch of games I hadn't played in a long time, and it reminded me that Nintendo has developed an interesting policy for Zelda side games:
1: Take an existing game,
2: Put Zelda characters in it,
3: Turn the soundtrack up to 11 and break the knob off.
