I say that the years 1998-2002 were top tier in terms of soundtracks - you have THPS 1-4 (especially 3), GTA Vice City's 80s tracks, Crazy Taxi, and for non-commercial music I particularly liked Metroid Prime 1 - what are your favorites?
 
Most songs from every DOOM game, the God Eater and Code Vein Soundtrack, Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid and Rising's OST, the Guilty Gear and BlazBlue OST, and most definitely the Shin Megami Tensei and Persona games' soundtracks.

Mother 3 and Megami Ibunroku Persona have by far the best soundtracks in the history of video games and simply fit in perfectly with the atmosphere and story of the games.

Too many options, so little time. I'll leave it with Rabi Ribi, Gravity Circuit, Blazblue Central Fiction, Guilty Gear XX, 7th Saga & Mystic Ark, eXceed 3rd Jade Penetrate, Super Meat Boy (I'm talking the Danny B soundtrack, not that pale imitator of a new soundtrack), The Dark Spire, Mary Skelter, Etrian Odyssey III, and Megadimension Neptunia VII and call it a day

Especially Gravity Circuit, go listen to that soundtrack NOW

 
Yo digo que los años 1998-2002 fueron de primer nivel en términos de bandas sonoras: tienes THPS 1-4 (especialmente 3), las pistas de los 80 de GTA Vice City, Crazy Taxi, y en cuanto a música no comercial me gustó particularmente Metroid Prime 1. ¿Cuáles son tus favoritas?

I don't know much about PS1 games other than those for children, which were the ones from my time. The soundtrack of Bugs Bunny Lost in Time (some were nostalgic/depressing), 101 Dalmatians Puppies to the Rescue, and the Syphon Filter 1, 2 and 3 series marked my childhood...
 
It's kinda hard to decide which ones that had the best soundtrack but I gotta say that games from 2005 had SOOOOOO many good soundtrack, like we got Need For Speed Most Wanted, SSX On Tour, Tony Hawk American Wasteland, even the first Guitar Hero was released in that year, so that's my answer I guess
 
Final bosses OSTs, most of them are just straight up bangers. Especially from composers like Koji Kondo and Yoko Shimomura

From Koji Kondo (Yoshi's Island)

From Yoko Shimomura (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)
 
Well, there's a lot.

Unreal


Warhammer 40k: Darktide


Crusader: No Remorse & No Regret


Most any Command and Conquer


Earthsiege 2


Chrono Trigger, Morrowind, Deus Ex, any Zelda game, Mechwarrior 2 & Mercs, Starcraft 1 & 2, Soul Reaver 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Halo, Fallout, Simcity 3000, the Half-Lifes, any Doom... I feel like I'm forgetting something.
 
Chrono Trigger, Skyrim, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy XIII, Fire Emblem Three Houses (at least the map themes), Fire Emblem Fates, Fire Emblem Awakening, Fire Emblem Echoes, AM2R, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Gates to Infinity, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Pokemon Uranium, Pokemon BW+BW2, Pokemon RSE, Pokemon Ranger 1.
 
Older NFS games pre Undercover has lots of bangers.
Hotline Miami.
Most SMT stuff where Shoji Meguro is involved, my fav is, not Persona, but Digital Devil Saga 2.
 
Grandia II's OST was actually awesome !
It's gotta be one of the rare games where I don't mind *not* rushing to end a battle quickly cause the theme itself is just ???
