I had this one stuck in my head today.

While these aren't the original soundtracks, I love these orchestrations:

Of course I can't go without mentioning some of my other favorite tracks from other games:

Dissociative identity - Killer7
Sweet blue flag - Killer7
Pleather for breakfast - No More Heroes
We are finally cowboys - No More Heroes
Not had his fill - Shadows of the Damned
Different perspectives - Shadows of the Damned
Killabilly - Lollipop Chainsaw
Corridors of time - Chrono Trigger
The Great Sea - Zelda: The Wind Waker
Reset - Okami

Better stop myself now before I go on forever.

That's addictive. The first Sonic had very addictive music too

I love the music for Katamari Damacy, Loco Roco and Patapon.
All pretty upbeat, juvenile and Japanese...

I also love Nobuo Uematsu, especially the piano version of the FF7 soundtrack.
Piano version of the Golden Saucer theme...takes me to my happy place _(* - * )_

The two tracks from Vampire the Masquerade dance floor.

The soundtracks of The Legend of Zelda games.
Yep.
All of them.

I also love the Kingdom Hearts soundtracks, as well as the catchy themes from Super Mario Brothers, Tetris, and Megaman.

As far as creating an atmosphere goes, the sounds and music used in Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Amnesia: Justine are some of my favorites. Can't wait until A Machine for Pigs.

On second thought I think I have a few more I'd like to add now:

I like the music from the Pokemon games. The Elder Scrolls games have excellent scores. I enjoyed the soundtrack from the GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas games, as well as the game Mafia, which had older music from the 1920s/1930s era. The first 3 games of the Resident Evil series had good music which set the tone/mood of the game.
