This thread is about the videogame soundtracks (not just menu music, but also ambient background music, etc.) that you enjoyed the most.
Or, if like me, you can't really pick a favorite, mention some soundtracks that you really enjoyed and really got you into the right mood for that game.
If you can also dig up some links to share that music with us, please do.
What about you, GAF? Which soundtracks got you in the mood the most?

- The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Been a long time ago, but one of my all time favorites. Soothing, relaxing music while exploring.
Really encouraged me to take my time walking around that strange looking world and talking to NPCs.
Neither Oblivion nor Skyrim ever hit the tone quite as well for me, because they were trying too much to "sound epic", if you understand what I mean.
- Shadow of the Colossus
Great music, very focused on the most intense gameplay moments, and also emotional for the slower paced moments and especially towards the end.
When you start fighting a Colossus, it hits the right tone and makes you feel like a puny little creature fighting against the odds.
Only to change to a mellow tone when you defeat them. Deep down, you just know that what you are doing actually is wrong.
- Command & Conquer Red Alert
The work of Frank Klepacki was brilliant throughout the C&C franchise, but I really feel like his best music was written for Red Alert.
Come on, who doesn't like Hell's March?
The original Command & Conquer comes as a very close second.
- God of War II
A great soundtrack, following the game world themes and setting the tone for the gruesome violence.
It contributes a great deal to the ongoing spectacle.
