been listening to Repeated Tragedy, good one
The Whirling in Rags theme and Martinaise theme (the one with the distorted horn) from Disco Elysium.
Every boss theme from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
About half of the character themes from Guilty Gear: Strive (and I haven't even played the game!).
IMO Pyre is criminally underrated. The story is leftist and emotional as fuck and it kills me that it nobody has played it. I am also a huge sucker for Ashley Barrett and Darren Korb harmonizing.
It's hard to sell nerds on magic basketball
I never played Pyre, but the two of them have definitely done some great songs. Zulf and Zia's songs in Bastion were great.
EDIT: the scene at the end where you
spoiler
Save Zulf while his song plays
brought a tear to my eye the first time through.
I liked Pyre but I've still played it the least of Supergiant's offerings. Transistor is probably my favorite OST.
The ambient music from Mass Effect 2 that plays while you're probing for resources. I know lots of people hated that mini-game, but I found it extremely soothing and spent hours and hours doing it.
The galaxy map song from that game is what got me into ambient music and changed my life for the better. It just hits my brain perfectly
I probably spent so much time during my formative years (and some of my adulthood) playing Age of Empires II and Age of Mythology that these were the only ones I could remember off the top of my head. Many others I can remember if I think about the game, but not as easy.
Also, Asylum Demon, Firelink Shrine, Ornstein and Smough and Gwyn Lord of Cinder from Dark Souls 1. I've probably beat that game dozens, if not hundreds of times, and have used a ton of playthroughs as background noise before going to bed.
Risk of Rain 2 menu theme, I will get this song stuck on a loop inside my head for hours at a time.
FTL: Faster Than Light
MechWarrior 2
Total Annihilation
Hotline Miami
FTL soundtrack is great
A friend of mine plays video games on speakers and has the Hotline Miami soundtrack playing in the background of all games, so whenever he mics in, I hear that playing in the background
I stumbled on the OST for the unreleased Jazz Jackrabbit 3 recently, and I keep playing this track every now and again, it's such a banger. This whole subgenre from Epic Games' early efforts (and stuff those composers did for other companies) is really cool, I with there more games beyond the Unreals and Deus Ex with that style. This track from Unreal 2 is another great one
The cut Downtown theme from Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines, it's just such a vibe
Fertile Rondo from Bayonetta 3 is also just , great 5th Element vibes
Brain Freeze from Yuri's Revenge, I miss the "just stick some old movie/TV quotes in" era of electronic music
This track from Descent (this particular recording off a Roland SC-55, I'm pretty sure I originally found it on youtube but it seems like that upload may have been taken down, and a lot of the other ones I could find don't sound as good)
The whole Neotokyo soundtrack really, just an absolute masterpiece composed for a free mod for some reason. Some standouts: Beacon, Imbrium, Tachi, I just absolutely love the combination of more electronic sounds with strings and piano in a lot of these.
On the more ambient side of things, STALKER has some great ones, Call of Pripyat especially, like the Pripyat theme

Lots of songs from the Zelda games. Gerudo Valley and Lost Woods from Ocarina of Time come to mind.
Terraria. Just the normal daytime outside theme. I can perfectly hear it in my mind.
On Christmas Day of 1999, I was gifted a copy of Homeworld. A few days later I was treated to a very groovy credits track by Yes, a band I had never heard of... but now wanted to hear more of. So I decided to give this new thing called Napster a try, and my first search was Homeworld Yes. The rest is history - in a real sense, I discovered music that day.
Okay, the songs that are belovedly burned into my brain are coming from FF7 Original, Disco Elysium, Civ 4, and so on. They're great songs from great games.
But this is permanently burned into my brain because it's just so fucking weird.
novalis theme from ratchet and clank and pretty much all of sim city 4, but shout out to rush hour
The Mario Galaxy beach music
I listen to a lot of game soundtracks at work. Atm, this song is stuck in my head because so many YouTubers/streamers play it: Steam Gardens - Super Mario Odyssey
Mickey Rourke's voice lines in the atrociously bad game Rogue Warrior, spliced by the Devs into a rap for the end credits: https://youtu.be/OVoyGUcXepc I would do it for karaoke if anywhere had it as a track.
GoldenEye pause music. Press pause, Bond flicks his wrist to look at his watch. This plays: https://youtu.be/qoWCB8AUiP4 Insanely hard beat.
Bonus mention to Zerg Free Radio in Starcraft, a parody of Radio Free propaganda channels: https://youtu.be/o7XV9fRAhu0
BF2's MEC (Middle East) theme goes pretty hard: https://youtu.be/S0aXAm0jqd0
Battlefield Play4Free's loading theme: https://youtu.be/5lcQntE4JuY
DOTA 2 had some bangers. Patches The Pirate theme from Hearthstone (the WoW pirate theme). Really I could go on for days.
obligatory Skyrim soundtrack mention
this is both cruel and unusual
Honestly Sonic Adventure 2 had some bangers. Live and Learn, That's the way I like it, all the Knuckles raps, classic
Street Fighter 3 Third Strike - Character Select theme I don't have nostalgia since I don't really play it, but it's probably one of my fav character select theme for some reason
C&C Tiberian Sun - Lone Trooper All C&C games have bangers but I particularly like the Tiberian Sun soundtrack
Guilty Gear Strive - Requiem [I-No's theme] I just love the character and I just wished they added her boss theme from the Korean OST of GGXX
Shit I'm too late to the party, but Banjo Tooie soundtrack runs through my mind constantly. Glitter Gulch Mine was my shit you ever heard a donkey used as an instrument? Well now you have
I never felt like
So miserable
I never felt like thinking this would last forever
The super mario 2 song because of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv6RbEOlqRo
@[email protected] working overtime and not getting paid
I have so many of these so going to just share my very first one. When I even think about this old gem the song starts playing in my head.
World of Warcraft log in screen music is the one that is the most burnt into my brain probably.
