Streets of Rage 2, especially the final track. Beautiful melody.

The works of a certain @leejacksonaudio on games like Rise of the Triad and Duke 3D.

Bioshock 1 and 2, all the vintage stuff and the instrumental pieces.

Elder Scrolls 3 - 5

The Witcher, especially 3

Can't believe I forgot to mention the Quake II soundtrack that's still on my workout playlist a quarter century later. Fantastic stuff.

And a few others...

Unreal 2 is quite the trash of a game, but at least this piece from the soundtrack is amazing:

Oh dear I just realized this thread is over 12 years old. 

 

But yeah, The Donkey Kong Country series have all around excellent music and every game has at least one standout track.

DKC2 (Forest Interlude): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vYYa-IdUGo

DKC3 (Nuts and Bolts): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPGRtlZLiSI

 

Diablo 1 has a knack for utter dread and despair in soundtrack form. Diablo 2's music is also pretty good but the original game's tracks will forever stick in my mind way more.

And finally, Unreal's soundtrack was all kinds of magic. It sounded marvelous and many of the tracks were dynamic and reacted to situations happening in the game. Not an original pick here but I feel if there's one Unreal song to listen to, it's this one (or Dusk Horizon).

I'll limit myself to 3 games because I probably could blow up the whole forum talking about game music I like.

The two (old) games whose music I vividly remember are Heretic 2 and Unreal. Both are moody and atmospheric.
