I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

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.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Theme: https://youtu.be/BwbHW8MeHDU

Enough said

The main theme of the (super great) TV show White Lotus, specifically the theme song from the second season.

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.

The Witcher 3: the first time you see that Priscilla is about to play, you're gonna think "here we go, this is gonna be super cringe", but then she plays The Wolven Storm, which is one of the most hauntingly beautiful sad songs anywhere, let alone in a video game! 🥲❤️

From games: Mass Effect 3, Purgatory club

From TV: Andor, Niamos! (galaxy mix)

The soundtrack to Kingdom Hearts is one of the best video game scores in my opinion

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

Cynthia's theme song from Pokemon. https://youtu.be/WDVd1F3ZI4w

All the openings and endings from Death Note and GTO (animes)

Rose of May from Final Fantasy 9 (video game)

Im amazed no one has mentioned Blade Runner. The 80s movie Flash Gordon is gloriously cheesy and fun-bad, but the Queen soundtrack is a classic banger!

Keeping in that line, Tron had a great soundtrack by Wendy Carlos. She also did Switched On Bach.

From games:

1. Loop Hero OST is pretty amazing if you like that kind of music: https://piped.video/Vw6hcx8jUeY
2. Crypt of the Necrodancer OST is also really good: https://piped.video/7Ks82gn2BqU
3. Going back further (a lot further!) - I've always loved the music from ZANAC, especially the title theme: https://piped.video/fkmdItOQkKo . There are some pretty good remixes as well: https://piped.video/96aT-5h2P08 , https://piped.video/kQ1SNc3_VA8

We All Lift Together.

This one's source surprised me when I first heard it in-game. It's from Warframe.

The opening song to Neon Genesis Evangelion. A Cruel Angel's Thesis.

Bubblegum Crisis: https://youtu.be/an_0IIRDlc4

The soundtrack to Haider.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaVuTF_PgXM

I really liked the soundtrack to Westworld. And Doom Eternals. Deus Ex Human Revolution is great too

Let's go back to 1982 for this bop, the theme from the side-scrolling arcade shooter Moon Patrol.

Mostly because of the huge number of really good remixes, covers, and oscilloscope weirdness that people have made from it ...

Video game : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThJ5_smk134
Anime : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La3KtXTIKNs
Movie : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1BJzKy8TbE

Probably the entire theme of The Eminence in Shadow, its great.

Fallout has a song named "I don't want to set the world on fire" its great.

The opening to Zombie Land Saga Season 2, the first opening for Attack on Titan, the trailer song for GTA Online Heists, the Valentino combat music from Cynerpunk 2077, Jump up, Superstar and Honeylune Ridge Escape from Super Marjo Odyssey are just some of the songs I can think of right now

The whole soundtrack of Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Ho boy, this could have been long. But here's just a few TV tracks:

"Junk" by Jane Air, from The Boys. Sounds like 1999-2000 rap rock with punk, but I can't understand most of it and it fucking STOMPS.

"White Widow" by Afterhours, from Mr. Robot. Just good hard rock with some tension that fit the scene well. There's the original Italian version out there as well.

"Something for your M.I.N.D." by Superorganism, from Legion. I absolutely hated the direction this show went beyond the first season, and I only watched the last season on some (bad) advice. This song had a trippy backdoor music video in one of the last episodes, which was easily the highlight. Lo-fi electropop with half-sung, half-spoken goofy (good) lyrics.

"The Box" by Fad Gadget, from The Americans. Paranoid as fuck 80s electropop. It has this blaring melody that will get into your head. The Americans has a reputation for its musical cues, and this was probably my favorite.

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.

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.

LOTS of songs from Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory. A lot of the songs came flooding back as I tried to list them. I might exceed the character limit if I tried! So many beautiful songs ☺

Reminded me how much I liked Cristobal Tapia Da Veer's soundtrack work on Utopia, Humans, and The Girl With All The Gifts. Looks like he's done some more that I didn't know about so I'll have to check it out

I could name many, many things from video games. But for everyone's sake, I'll list just this one from Digital Devil Saga.

A lot of the music from Sailor Moon.

Ai no Senshi

Moon Revenge

La Soldier

Golden Queen Galaxia.

And one of the few good things from the DiC dub of the series was the music.

Carry On

Only a Memory Away

Call My Name and I'll Be There

It's A New Day

Also some of the music from Ranma 1/2.

Kagayaku Sora to Kimi no Koe

Two Complex Thoughts

I've never been one to listen to that much music that's made for music; sometimes I'll catch something and like it, but mostly I run into music I like as part of other media I consume, so yeah, this kinda has made up the majority of the music I listen to. And since I used to watch a lot of anime (don't quite have enough time to keep up lately) a lot of my favorite songs are in Japanese and I don't understand any of it but I can sing along to several of them.

Bojack Horseman has one of the best openings in TV.

Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex has my favorite Anime themes (though tied with Cowboy Bebop)

I agree with Interstellar.

For video games, The Outer Worlds was a meh game with a great theme, Mass Effect's soundtrack was great, but I have to dip into two Licasarts classics for the best music- Curse of Monkey Island, and The Dig.

The Sopranos had a great opening theme. So did GoT.

As for movies, Pump Up the Volume had a killer soundtrack, as well as the original Ghostbusters.

If anyone would like to check out experimental electronic jazz, I suggest an album called Deep Breakfast by Ray Lynch. Then there is Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield, made famous by the movie The Exorcist.

Jean Michelle Jerre has done a couple of great albums, including Zoolookologie, Oxygen, and others.

Art of Noise is worth checking out. You've heard them, you just don't know you have.

Well, that's media music and a few "out there" suggestions. Enjoy!

Basically the entire soundtracks of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumia and K-on! (both seasons and the movie) are 110% bangers for me. Also, the opening themes for Evangelion and Vision of Escaflowne.

Others have mentioned all my favorite movie soundtracks, but I feel like Tron bears repeating. I liked the soundtrack for the second Tron movie, but it honestly didn't compare to the original which still holds up as just gorram great music.

And then there's the opening theme for Firefly. That song was perfect for that show.

And I gotta give credit to the classics: Magnum P.I. and Knight Rider have slapping' theme songs, but the GOAT is, of course, Doctor Who.

ETA: forgot to mention Final Fantasy VI and Kingdom Hearts for video games.

Edit: my phone's keyboard does weird shit on Jerboa, including deleting random words. No clue why. Anyway, I noticed a missing word andfixedd it.

The Mega Man 2 soundtrack has been my favorite VGS since the mid eighties. The "introduction" music is what you hear when the main screen loads after you start the game, and has always given me little chills that I'm about to experience an amazing game.
