Still gives me goosebumps.
Jeremy Soule is an actual magician. Morrowind's music (every part of it, even if some of it is unfairly criticised) is absolutely incredible.

Maybe it's because it's still, to my mind, the greatest CRPG of the 3D era; but DA:O Main Theme by Inon Zur is powerful. I really do think it's one of the greatest main themes I have, personally, ever heard.

Came here hoping for Jeremy Soule praise. Was not disappointed.

War of the Ring also has a sick soundtrack:



One of the earliest examples of a game I played that had a 'dynamic' music system that transitions between being out of combat and in combat, as well

Anorien and Ettenmoors 'Good' soundtrack in particular, and Mordor and Mirkwood for 'Evil'

EQ had some really good tracks. My favorite was always the guildmaster theme, but I heard them all through an sb pro and later an AWE32.

Say whatever you want about The Sims, the first game's soundtrack is one of the best ever composed. The kind where you stop playing and start listening.

I'd never play a game that requires a monthly subscription but those songs really are great. Final Fantasy always had great music even if the writing is... severely uneven.

My time with FFXIV was great but (No idea if you saw my other post regarding FFXIV) I was permabanned from the steam community hub from an "FFXIV Online Developer" which means that I won't be playing FFXIV since apparently saying "Yes, it's a guy" is ban-worthy. I switched to LOTRO and WOW. (Atleast they were my childhood)

Unsure why Two Worlds has a song this good. It doesn't fit at all, but I love it.

Cyberpunk got some good tracks for sure. I also like Never Fade Away, A Ballad of Buck Ravers and Archangel. Got some great riffs.

I remember playing this when I was a kid. Turns out playing violent games does not make you some psycho killer (qu'est-ce que c'est? Fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, far better)

This. Is beautiful. Told my brother about Monsters & Memories. Looking to get him back into a worthy MMO. Rise up Dead Man is perfect. This hits hard for me. Need to get the two of us reunited on something. Army of Two back together. Good find brother. /salute.

I'm really torn between Gta SA n 4 about best songs on radio, but this always chilled me out as I was cruising around as based Serbian sociopath.
