I believe it’s far more limited now in online versions as Rockstar remove songs for which their licensing has elapsed.

I agree totally though, the original PS2 / X-Box song selection was great driving music, something for all tastes.

I'm not into soundtracks, but my 12 year old daughter is, and she plays the Earthbound soundtrack in the car, which I've come to enjoy.

Some Old School

Practically anything from Jeremy Soule most notably Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion 

[DougC]

The Sega CD version of Mortal Kombat, Battle Arena Toshinden, and Lords of Thunder!

Next time you are at a convention browse the cheap Sega CD games for great music. Due to how they were created you can just slide them into any CD player and listen to the track list.

For me it's La Légende de Zelda : Ocarina of Time 

[melissayong]

for me it's The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

I thought the original Sonic the Hedgehog and Golden Axe 2 games on the Genesis had super catchy soundtracks

[october]

Nobody has mentioned Castlevania: Symphony of the Night yet?

The early Doom games had great music. Metroid for NES had really cool and atmospheric music but I think my favorite is from the NES game, Solstice.

Prog rock in 8-bit form!

Yup. Tinny, 8-bit, short-and-looped versions of songs from the big metal bands of the time. Remember especially the Pantera and Metallica ones.

The PS1 versions had a different soundtrack, sort of a gothic, choral, monasterial ambient score. Cathedral music, I called it at the time.

For the recent games they could afford an original industrial / djent soundtrack.
