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?

Basically the entire soundtracks of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumia and K-on! (both seasons and the movie) are 110% bangers for me. Also, the opening themes for Evangelion and Vision of Escaflowne.

Others have mentioned all my favorite movie soundtracks, but I feel like Tron bears repeating. I liked the soundtrack for the second Tron movie, but it honestly didn't compare to the original which still holds up as just gorram great music.

And then there's the opening theme for Firefly. That song was perfect for that show.

And I gotta give credit to the classics: Magnum P.I. and Knight Rider have slapping' theme songs, but the GOAT is, of course, Doctor Who.

ETA: forgot to mention Final Fantasy VI and Kingdom Hearts for video games.

Edit: my phone's keyboard does weird shit on Jerboa, including deleting random words. No clue why. Anyway, I noticed a missing word andfixedd it.
