I know you probably love a dozen tracks, please pick one, thank you in advance.

EDIT: Thank you all so far, especially everyone who kept it to one. I am at work currently and will make my way through the list but may not get a chance to thank you individually. I am checking them all out though and appreciating it.

The album this track is on is amazing as a whole. It's like a musical journey around the world. It's a beautifully cohesive album start to finish.

If you like chiptunes, "the moon" from DuckTales does a great job at instilling a sense of adventure. If chiptunes aren't your thing, here's an orchestral version

Unreal Tournament Soundtrack - Foregone Destruction (Facing Worlds) Wait until the DnB kicks in. Monster Kill

[โ€“] ignism@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The complete OST has to be my go to music for when I need that extra push. Such bangers.

Anything Hollow Knight

In particular

The Spine - Transistor OST.

There's 3 versions, though... The soundtrack version with lyrics, the game instrumental, and the humming version.

Most of the tracks in the game have at least 2 versions, music is kind of a central theme of the story.

My Only Chance - The Toxic Avenger https://youtu.be/SeAAi7jWOl8

It's a fucking hard call though because there are a lot of great picks out there - Doom does amazing metal and Hotline Miami has a legendarily good soundtrack... but Furi takes the cake for me personally.

I heard this song first on this Sauerbraten race-vid, I haven't played the original Bastion game.

I wrote most of my Bachelor's thesis and parts of my Master's thesis to nothing but Watch the Skies from Skyrim on loop.

Halo 2 OST - Impend

If you want the version with a little more oomph, there's a remaster version. I listen to this for coding.

I like Life is Strange 1's sound track tbh. Tony Hawk and Grand Theft Auto and Pokemon and Mario all have some excellent music too.

edit: Wow, I forgot a word, and it completely changed the meaning of my sentence lol

Anything from the Loop Hero OST is awesome, but I favor Loop Hero - Loop Blues the most.

Planescape: Torment - Bones of the Night

My son would vote for the Witherstorm theme in Minecraft.

What kind of music do you listen to at work? Like high energy vs chill focus music?

The whole soundtrack is good, but:

Counterattack from Xenoblade Chronicles 2

I especially love the way it subverts the rhythm and modulates the key going into the final refrain around 3:45.
