The Painkiller soundtrack is great for any other zombie, or indeed anything-killing game, and is a really unique soundtrack.
All of Jeremy Soule's game tracks are amazing as has probably been stated already.
I listen to the songs featured on Fallout 3's 'Galaxy News Radio', partly for nostalgia and partly because I enjoy them...
And a lot of Amnesia's OST is beautiful, the ending theme is a brilliant example of game music composition.

I listen to a few, namely Bastion and FTL (in fact, the Bastion soundtrack is what convinced my father that game soundtracks can be decent in their own right), but to be different, I'm going to take some time to shill for the Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery soundtrack. Meh game, beautiful soundtrack; great mix of chiptunes, modern electronica, and even light rock (all in the same song at times!)

My favorite examples:

Dark Flute

Lone Star

Also Cave Story. I listen the hell out of that soundtrack.

Mostly track from old SEGA arcade games, particularly Daytona USA:

And then there's the remixed version:

And here's a track from the Saturn version of 3D Blast, which I consider to be the best video game track ever:

I'm actuallu surprised there's someone else here who liked Olivers theme seeing as how I grew up with the show I loved the character but over time I quite liked the old classic engines from the Mid Sodor railway and eventually ended up liking the Duke and Skarloey character themes.
Funnily enough, I've been on a Thomas kick lately myself. And man I had forgotten how much I loved the Narrow Gauge stories. They were the first big step towards making the island feel more diverse than just the main Standard Gauge lines that Thomas ran on. For some reason, I just liked the smaller trains more, especially Rusty. He had a neat theme as well. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a video directly related to the music. So have George Carlin instead.

I feel genuinely sorry for anyone who has friends that laugh at them for listening to certain types of music. Unless you're fourteen years old, you have to be a pretty petty dickbag to mock people for the songs they like.

OT: I have a lot to choose from, but this is one of my favourite songs, not just from a video game but of all the songs I've heard.

Let's see, let's see...

Halo, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Fable, Fallout, Zelda, etc. Those're just the franchises, there's other individual ones here'n'there - Mirror's Edge, for example.

Oh, yeah, more than any other type of music, I'd say. Just on Youtube, I've got...

Bastion (I love Setting Sail, Coming Home)
Castlevania (Symphony of the Night, Curse of Darkness)
Dark Souls
Final Fantasy (IV, VI, and VII)
Journey
La-Mulana
Mass Effect (2 and 3)
Monster Hunter Tri (my single favorite OST)
Persona 4 (regular and Arena)
Shadow of the Colossus
Soul Calibur V
Street Fighter IV

Edit: oh, and how could I forget DUST: An Elysian Tail?

Funny thing about that, I actually still don't own an MP3 player. Or a cellular phone. And I find myself in very little need of either.
Anyway, I've learned of half my favorite music through the Fallout games, specifically New Vegas. But I guess most of that is licensed music so I don't know if it counts of not.

Other then that, No More Heroes, Bioshock, Paper Mario, Banjo Kazzoie, VVVVVV, and Super Meat Boy are often soundtracks I have on in the background while working, or just surfing the web.

another one of these topics... well okay, i'll say it again:
I listen to the soundtrack to Ys Seven and Ys Origin quite often. As well as Lost Odyssey, Dragon Warrior Arranged Soundtrack, Grandia II OST, and many fan covers on Youtube as well as chiptune music.

Your friends are dicks. What could they possibly be listening to if they feel so superior?
Music about life the universe and everything (except loading screens, bonus levels or when some ancillary character dies and then they become important so they need a sad theme song for them). I wouldn't call his friends dicks, it's not as if they like slayer and call him a queer for liking bon jovi, it's that game ost's are stil a rare thing and seen as long instrumental works on par with classical music of most peoples expectations.

Recently got into a Final Fantasy VI kick, and am listening to most of the popular tracks on it.
From recent games, the soundtracks of Skyrim, Deus Ex human revolution and the Mass effect trilogy comes to mind.
Also, does the soundtrack of GTA: Vice City count? I know it's mostly licensed songs but it's probably one of my favorite soundtracks right now.

Maybe not whole soundtracks, but there are a handful of songs that I regularly go back to as musical therapy.

Skyrim - Dragonborn. I own the whole soundtrack, but that song, taken both in and out of context, is one of the most awesome pieces of music I've ever heard. Apparently, the men's chorus we hear chanting (then shouting) in dragon tongue was originally 30 actual voices, repeated, to sound like 90. This isn't really that big, but to me, it's the kind of thing that makes the difference between cool and cut-above-the-rest amazing.

Bastion - Build That Wall. I almost don't even need to elaborate. This is a song that reinforces the tone of the entire game. Hopeful, yet sorrowful; spiritual, yet very down-to-earth; simple at first glance, but there's a lot going on, when you look more closely.
Oh, and the voice of Zia is gooooorrgeous.

Bioshock Infinite - Will the Circle Be Unbroken (Choral Version). I'm not a spiritual man, but when I first heard this, combined with the inspired setting in which you hear this piece, well, I was very nearly made a believer, right then and there.

Bioshock Infinite - God Only Knows. If you can't tell just yet, I'm a sucker for a chorus. I believe the human voice is one of the the most potent things on this planet. A voice, lifted in song, is one of the most beautiful.
I was already thoroughly ready to call Infinite a prime candidate for game of the year... and then a barbershop quartet shows up. Well, bugger. It would have to be a pretty spectacular game to top Bioshock Infinite, or at least a better soundtrack.

Final Fantasy VI - The Opera Scene. I have about a half-dozen different voices echoing in my head, singing the lyrics over the 16-bit instrumentals. One of them is my own mother, a woman who can out-sing a 100-strong church congregation. Oh yeah. Right in the feels.

The heavier are 10x more awesome if your listening from the car and speeding through a highway.
