Still Alive

Chrono Trigger - Corridors of Time

Probably Stickerbush Symphony from Donkey Kong Country 2.

Lots of good Final Fantasy tracks from Nobuo Uematsu and Chrono Trigger/Cross ones from Yasunori Mitsuda too. But Stickerbush Symphony was the first video game music that really moved me, like more than your average SNES soundtrack. David Wise went hard on those Donkey Kong Country games.

Baba Yetu from Civilization 2005 is the first video track to win a Grammy.

Music track or racetrack? ;)

I'll give you two albums worth:

*Bastion OST

*Transistor OST

Hmmm.

Maybe Dragon Roost Island from The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Vigil - Mass Effect

The End Run from Mass Effect 2 is also high up there.

Recency bias, but Lumiere from Expedition 33 is also incredible.

It's hard to choose an absolute favorite, but I really like First Steps from Celeste.

Alpha by C418 - The background music to the End Poem in Minecraft

Nordschleife

You can't do this to me. Don't make me pick just one.

Let me have six at least.

• One Must Fall 2097 - Theme
• Warcraft II - Human 1
• Kingdom Hearts II - Dearly Beloved
• Iji - Further
• Star Wars: Force Commander - Imperial Rage
• FTL - Last Stand

So many great ones, but if i had to pick only one

Zelda, link to the past, overworld

Red Alert, Hell March

The CD-rom for Mechwarrior 2 could play in a standard CD player. Track one was the data for the game, but the remaining 22-odd tracks were the in-game music. We used to listen to the Mechwarrior 2 soundtrack while playing everything else. I still love that music.

Theme from Monkey Island

Too many favourites to name, but here are a few examples

• lots of Nobuo Uematsu songs in lots of games
• small two of pieces from xenogears
• simple and clean from kingdom hearts
• xenoblade chronicles 2 Ost, especially gormott when the 'vocals' kick in
• take control from control
• wide awake from Alan wake 2

...

I couldn't pick just one.

1. From The Witcher 3:
   1. Whiterun theme (unforgivably absent from the OST albums)
   2. Fields of Ard Skellig (a version of the folk song "Fear a Bhata")
2. From Skyrim... hard to pick out favourites
3. From Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance (Jeremy Soule again): The Art of War. It opens boldly but there's a moment when it's just twinkling in the strings, percussion and a little piano with almost no melody. If at that moment you happen to be watching the trajectory of your artillery arcing towards the enemy, and then the theme comes back as they land... sublime.

Not one track, but I love all the biome specific music in Terraria.

Aerith's Theme and all of its variants in every FFVII game (and movie)

Tears by Health, written for the Max Payne 3 OST

Weird one - the labyrinth music from BotW. I used to listen to extended versions of that for hours at work, just to make things feel tense and intriguing.

My Dark Disquiet by Poets of the Fall from Control.

The track that played the first time I landed in Mexico on Red Dead Redemption

So emotional

Shadow of the Colossus - The Opened Way

Current one is this one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IunbXWab1_Y from Clair Obscur Expedition 33.

(But I'm overall in the fucking bag for this game at the moment.)

i don't even play racing games but i immediately though you were referring to a race track, not a music one, haha.

regardless, one of my favorite tracks is THE WORLD REVOLVING from Deltarune: Chapter 1 OST.

Recent favorite:

The track when you fight Consort Radahn in Elden Ring. I am absolutely OBSESSED with the man who sings that one part... You'd have to listen to it and you'll spot who I mean. He has such a powerful voice, you can hear him over the rest. It's just awe inspiring.

(So glad I can finally gush about that song)

Legend of zelda theme for the NES. I'll never get tired of it
