The end credit music to Max Payne 2. Anywhere else it would have been soppy and repetitive, but it worked so well with the ending to that game (which was fantastic, can't wait for Max 3).

And we keep driving,
Into the night,
It's a late goodbye
It's a late goodbye

Hell March!!!

Ahem...

A lot of things are good - when combined with whatever they're supposed to go with...

For instance, the Morrowind music is great for just strolling around the landscape...

Definitely, System Shock 2- the adrenaline-pumping techno music that kicks in when you open the door and get attacked by your first zombies was amazing. I had to switch off the game and wait 24 hours to get the courage to go back into it.

Secret of Mana an old Squaresoft SNES RPG game also had nice music, rather SS2-ish in the penultimate boss battle too.

As much as I love System Shock 2, I didn't like the techno music, it just felt inapropiate. The more creepy music in the crew quarters and Cargo Bay-A (do I REALLY have to go there?????) fitted the theme better imvho

the original command and conquer soundtrack had me hooked; almost pavlovian: i'd think about the song and instantly visualize hundreds of little infantry and mechanized units (with their requisite status boxes) swarming about.
