Frog’s Song (Chrono Trigger):



Zelda Theme:

 

[TheDoldrums]

 

[Lessavyfav]

Final Fantasy 7 - Golden Saucer theme

Pretty much the entire soundtrack from the original doom series.

 

[Tweed]

Inside (by Playdead): Shockwave stage. Probably the singlemost epic aural experience I've ever had in 40 years of gaming. I won't include a clip because I don't want to spoil it for anybody who plans to play the game, and because a clip wouldn't do it justice. You need to play the game from the beginning, to understand.

 

[The Macho King]

Megaman 2 - Wily's castle 1 theme (I think?).

Inside is one of my favorite games of all time, and the sound design is wonderful, but I wouldn't call any of that stuff an "earworm" that gets stuck in your head.

For me it was, but I listen to that OST on loop so, there's that.

Kingdom Hearts and FF had a pretty serious competition for most cinematic video game music for a few years there. Anything from those two series is seriously addicting.

But since it hasn’t been posted in this thread yet I’ll go with something else:

Final Fantasy 7 - Golden Saucer theme

TERRIFIC example. Nowhere near the best song in this game but is a bitch to get out of your head once you hear it again.

Pretty much the entire soundtrack from the original doom series.

It may be borderline or outright plagarism at times...but it's not only great, it's appropriate for the game. Few things go together better than DOOM and Slayer. There's no way you can listen to this and not think of grabbing a Super Shotgun and crushing your friends at point-blank range:

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

and pretty much everything from this game, but this one is my favorite



also this one



The music in those games was incredible for the time

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

I've been playing through Donkey Kong Country 2 and almost every level has music that blows me away.

 

[Commander Clueless]

I haven't been able to get most of the Persona 5 soundtrack out of my head since playing it earlier this year.


The Suicide Mission track from Mass Effect 2 will always stick with me.

 

[Dick Sledge]

No Blades of Steel mentioned yet?

I've been playing through Donkey Kong Country 2 and almost every level has music that blows me away.

Easily one of the greatest soundtracks in video game history.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Super Castlevania IV OST: Stage 1 Theme of Simon Belmont (1-2)

I still get the first stage music for all the first four Castlevania’s stuck in my head.

Edit:

Also this.

Beware the Forest's Mushrooms - Super Mario RPG

 

[Zodiac]

 

[Ducks in a row]

 

[Mrb1p]

I read that title and the Dr. Mario theme song came up in my head.

Overcooked too.

 

[jimmythescot]

Don’t know if it’s been added as a bunch of youtube links just murders my phone.

Always puts me in a great mood

 

[The Noot]

Some of my favorites:




(Probably the most obscure game with such a nice theme)



Crypt of the Necrodancer OST - Metalmancy (Death Metal)
Pokemon Blue/Red - Route 1
Guile Theme (SNES)
Gerudo Valley - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Mute City - Super Smash Bros. Melee Music Extended
Hearthstone Soundtrack - Main Title
Super Mario 64: Dire, Dire Docks

Battletoads pause music
