The World of Warcraft login. Any of them. I can just watch it and just listen to the music.

Dammit. OP ninja'd me.

But, if I must contribute, I'd say Metroid Prime 1 had awesome menu music.
Same here. I really love Metroid Prime. I have the whole soundtrack on my iTunes.

I can think of a few examples of fantastic menu music, but there are only a couple where I've actually just sat there staring at the empty screen so I could listen to the full music, here's one of them:

When you finally stop headbanging long enough to start the game it sounds like:
Which is about the time you realize that you've stumbled upon one of the best games ever made.

Either Deus Ex, although playing the first was something I actually wanted to do.
Well since you are a fellow Dues Ex fan, have you heard the Deus Ex: Human Revolution trailer music?

Never mind, I'll post it anyway :)

Sorry, but just a few hours ago, I posted a tl;dr rant on why DX:HR probably won't be good. The short version is the publisher name. If they had just decided to call it something else, it would be a good game on its own. I doubt highly that it can fill even IW's shoes. Spector and Smith made me think; not an easy thing to accomplish.

But yeah, the music is fine on its own.

Then you go and steal the only other one I could mention.

Shit... Well, I am out.

Perhaps sitting there not playing the game and just listening to the music in game counts. If so the in game music to Tropico 1, although I don't like it's opening menu song much.

I used to just leave the game at the menu and listen to this song over and over and over and over. Really great.

If only there was an option to dub this track over all fights, we'd have the best of both worlds (and no, the boring version of Ken's theme on his stage doesn't count).

Best title music ever. Makes me feel all emotional and crap. Music never does that to me. Epic as hell.

Just badass.

Posters before me have mentioned Red Alert 3 and Oblivion so I'm still bringing new stuff :)

The title theme makes it so god-darned hard to press the Start button until it's gone 30 seconds. Just makes it more epic than when you do, there's a rifle shot sound effect xD I think it's a brilliant version of the main theme :p

Also, durr, you didn't really think there was gonna be another game I would mention, now did you? :p I mean, it's not like my avatar gives it away or anything xD

This one:
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU Now I'm gonna have this stuck in my head forever. And then it reminded me of the build music, which is even MORE catchy!

Ironically enough, the first ones I thought of were Phantasy Star: Online and Kingdom Hearts...

Jet Force Gemini and Ocarina of Time were already posted, but PS:O doesn't seem to be getting much love...


In retrospect, listening to it doesn't give the same sort of magical, mysterious feel I had the first times listening to it in 2001...But it still captures the essence of exploration, the enigmatic feel of the game the first time you played through it, and it was one of the very few I sat and waited for it to loop a few times before playing...I would just get lost within my own head while listening to it, as stupid as that sounds.

So pretty. I hope someone else has heard of/played this game.. It's one of my favorites.
