Always the first that comes to mind ...
“...Ice Cream ...”

Speedball 2, I used to love that game. Played it for months on the Megadrive, the biggest challenge was that you could only save at the end of a season via a 45 digit code that you had to write down..,
Here’s my votes for great music from earlier gaming.
Flashback: couldn’t believe what I was watching when I played this for the first time in my megadrive on Christmas
Cool spot bonus round rave music, still a banger to this day!
For all its flaws, World of Warcraft still has amazing sound design and music

It may be a (AAA) gacha game, but Genshin Impact's music is amazing. Much orchestral magic, and even stuff like liquid DnB thrown in.
YES! Thankfully someone else who appreciates the megadrive version of this game. The SNES soundtrack is garbage in comparison
You might be missing out on some real gems. There is a reason a lot of games release their soundtracks these days.
Depends what you're playing

No love for a bit of old skool Rotterdam hardcore techno a la Ridge Racer? Couldn't beat the rapid beats racing and drifting round the tracks...

Yeah Another World was the same, the music on the mega drive intro just fit the game perfectly and it was the best of the lot including the remasters.

quake 3 had a mental sound track
also the Rocket Arena 3 soundtrack for quake were mental especially the ones by James Grote
think it was alienation and razor edge.
I remember having alienation on constant loop when playing RA3 as you could select what soundtrack you wanted to listen to.

Anyone remember Baba Yetu on the menu in Civilization. Wow, just wow!
Also the intro was incredible too

Ori and the blind forest.
Modern game with stunning music, Will of the Wisps was just as good!

Personally was disappointed by the Quake 3 sound track after 1 and 2 - found most of the tracks far too discordant - 1-2 tracks aside which really meshed with the levels they were designed for.

Let me warm it some more:
Matt Gray has released seven albums of modern tech remixes of his own oeuvre (including the full LN2 soundtrack) and some of the best tracks by other SID artists, with two more coming this year.

I have lots of nostalgia from the Commodore 64 and Amiga era but there are two that stand out from PC gaming.
GTR, the build up to the electric guitar at around 1:30 is just excellent.
And Morrowind. I played the game for so many hours, and the music is perfect.
