I was about to just ask "What are some of your favorite music?" but then I realized some of you are gonna start naming those popular celebrity-singer songs which isn't what I'm looking for. Because I find that songs that are part of other forms of media such as Movies and TV shows are really some of the highest of quality.

My Favorite ones (that I can remember, I'm sure there are good ones that I forgot about):

The Main Theme of The Expanse (TV) https://youtu.be/5Y4wuVfV5G4

The Main Theme of Interstellar (Movie) https://youtu.be/kpz8lpoLvrA

The Main Theme of Terminator 2 (Movie) https://youtu.be/1XblVVbqIHU

Baba Yetu - The Menu Theme of Sid Meier's Civilization IV (Video Game) https://youtu.be/IJiHDmyhE1A

Sogno di Volare - The Menu Theme of Sid Meier's Civilization VI (Video Game) https://youtu.be/WQYN2P3E06s

Main Theme of FTL: Faster than Light (Video Game) https://youtu.be/VJ817kvh_DM

Field of Hope and Dreams - Deltarune (Video Game) https://youtu.be/PhhGEA_317w

Megalovania - Undertale (Video Game) https://youtu.be/0FCvzsVlXpQ

The Opening Credits of Detroit: Become Human (Video Game) https://youtu.be/eZTasD9YzAo

The Main Theme of Game of Thrones (TV) https://youtu.be/s7L2PVdrb_8 (We don't talk about season 8 here :(

The Main Theme of Sucession (TV) https://youtu.be/77PsqaWzwG0 (Honestly, I didn't even finish the first season and kinda got bored, but the theme music was memorable for some reason)

That's my list of the music I can remember from the top of my head, what's on your list?

Ho boy, this could have been long. But here's just a few TV tracks:

"Junk" by Jane Air, from The Boys. Sounds like 1999-2000 rap rock with punk, but I can't understand most of it and it fucking STOMPS.

"White Widow" by Afterhours, from Mr. Robot. Just good hard rock with some tension that fit the scene well. There's the original Italian version out there as well.

"Something for your M.I.N.D." by Superorganism, from Legion. I absolutely hated the direction this show went beyond the first season, and I only watched the last season on some (bad) advice. This song had a trippy backdoor music video in one of the last episodes, which was easily the highlight. Lo-fi electropop with half-sung, half-spoken goofy (good) lyrics.

"The Box" by Fad Gadget, from The Americans. Paranoid as fuck 80s electropop. It has this blaring melody that will get into your head. The Americans has a reputation for its musical cues, and this was probably my favorite.
