I was about to just ask "What are some of your favorite music?" but then I realized some of you are gonna start naming those popular celebrity-singer songs which isn't what I'm looking for. Because I find that songs that are part of other forms of media such as Movies and TV shows are really some of the highest of quality.

My Favorite ones (that I can remember, I'm sure there are good ones that I forgot about):

The Main Theme of The Expanse (TV) https://youtu.be/5Y4wuVfV5G4

The Main Theme of Interstellar (Movie) https://youtu.be/kpz8lpoLvrA

The Main Theme of Terminator 2 (Movie) https://youtu.be/1XblVVbqIHU

Baba Yetu - The Menu Theme of Sid Meier's Civilization IV (Video Game) https://youtu.be/IJiHDmyhE1A

Sogno di Volare - The Menu Theme of Sid Meier's Civilization VI (Video Game) https://youtu.be/WQYN2P3E06s

Main Theme of FTL: Faster than Light (Video Game) https://youtu.be/VJ817kvh_DM

Field of Hope and Dreams - Deltarune (Video Game) https://youtu.be/PhhGEA_317w

Megalovania - Undertale (Video Game) https://youtu.be/0FCvzsVlXpQ

The Opening Credits of Detroit: Become Human (Video Game) https://youtu.be/eZTasD9YzAo

The Main Theme of Game of Thrones (TV) https://youtu.be/s7L2PVdrb_8 (We don't talk about season 8 here :(

The Main Theme of Sucession (TV) https://youtu.be/77PsqaWzwG0 (Honestly, I didn't even finish the first season and kinda got bored, but the theme music was memorable for some reason)

That's my list of the music I can remember from the top of my head, what's on your list?

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!

Curse of Monkey Island! That's what I was going to say. And also Castlevania, the first one.

The theme from White Lotus. Season 1 & 2 are slightly different but both versions of the song are great.

Also the theme song from Raised by Wolves really grew on me after hearing it several times.
