I was about to just ask “What are some of your favorite music?” but then I realized some of you are gonna start naming those popular celebrity-singer songs which isn’t what I’m looking for. Because I find that songs that are part of other forms of media such as Movies and TV shows are really some of the highest of quality.
My Favorite ones (that I can remember, I’m sure there are good ones that I forgot about):
The Main Theme of The Expanse (TV) https://youtu.be/5Y4wuVfV5G4
The Main Theme of Interstellar (Movie) https://youtu.be/kpz8lpoLvrA
The Main Theme of Terminator 2 (Movie) https://youtu.be/1XblVVbqIHU
Baba Yetu - The Menu Theme of Sid Meier’s Civilization IV (Video Game) https://youtu.be/IJiHDmyhE1A
Sogno di Volare - The Menu Theme of Sid Meier’s Civilization VI (Video Game) https://youtu.be/WQYN2P3E06s
Main Theme of FTL: Faster than Light (Video Game) https://youtu.be/VJ817kvh_DM
Field of Hope and Dreams - Deltarune (Video Game) https://youtu.be/PhhGEA_317w
Megalovania - Undertale (Video Game) https://youtu.be/0FCvzsVlXpQ
The Opening Credits of Detroit: Become Human (Video Game) https://youtu.be/eZTasD9YzAo
The Main Theme of Game of Thrones (TV) https://youtu.be/s7L2PVdrb_8 (We don’t talk about season 8 here :(
The Main Theme of Sucession (TV) https://youtu.be/77PsqaWzwG0 (Honestly, I didn’t even finish the first season and kinda got bored, but the theme music was memorable for some reason)
That’s my list of the music I can remember from the top of my head, what’s on your list?
Disco Elysium, Twin Peaks, Cowboy Bebop, and Samurai Champloo come to mind.
I also really like anything Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross put out for film scores
From anime:
- Kowareta Sekai (Rozen Maiden)
- Libera Me from Hell (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)
- Kick Back (Chainsaw Man - the opening itself is also great)
- Lilium (Elfen Lied)
The opening of Cowboy Beebop: Tank.
See You Space Cowboy…
The opening song to Neon Genesis Evangelion. A Cruel Angel’s Thesis.
From games: Mass Effect 3, Purgatory club
From TV: Andor, Niamos! (galaxy mix)

With so many great options, you went with purgatory music? :)
My personal favorites are I Was Lost Without You and Reflections
My small brain literally cannot comprehend how something so beautiful and genius can even exist. Pure perfection…
Oh and it blends super nice with this song, although it’s not next in the album playlist. I always hear those two together.
All the openings and endings from Death Note and GTO (animes)
Rose of May from Final Fantasy 9 (video game)

That introduced me to Maximum the Hormone… I still listen to it today almost 2 decades later.
The soundtrack to Kingdom Hearts is one of the best video game scores in my opinion
I have a favorite anime series called Star Blazers. I know I am carbon dating myself because that was a show from the late 70s to the early 80s.

Enough said
-
Master Theater (Me And My Shadow (open source game nobody ever talks about))
-
All Saints Street OP (Chinese animated web show (also, not the Japanese dub opening))
-
Boss of Me (Malcom In The Middle OP)
-
Valley & The Great Fair (both track course songs from SuperTuxKart (Black Forest and Candela City respectively)
-
Team Star Boss Battle Theme (pokemon sc/vi)

Streets of San Francisco (1972)
For video game music I really love the whole Transistor soundtrack (Darren Korb) and basically everything from Surviving Mars.
TV would probably have to be Kick Back, the theme from Chainsaw Man.
Edit to add: One Winged Angel But The Genre Keeps Changing is a lot of fun, especially if you know (and like) the original
The whole soundtrack of Lineage II by Bill Brown is amazing. Also Jeremy Soule with morrowind and skyrim. Oh, and Halo (Martin O’Donnell) of course.
