I mean, obviously I'm biased, but Space Quest III just had one of the most amazing kick-ass soundtracks. Composed by Bob Siebenberg, the drummer from Supertramp!

So many, but:

Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness by Aubrey Hodges

Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within by Robert Holmes

Not quite an adventure game soundtrack, but also all of Swan Lake.

Gabriel Knight 2

What a wild game. I want to replay it, but played it too recently. Need time to forget the puzzles.

Wonder if we'll see anything in this vein again. There is Markus Ritter, which seems to be at least inspired by the same German-evil-hunter-descended-from-Ritter-lineage backstory. I'm playing its sequel in the Steam Next Fest, haven't made it very far, and it's definitively an indie/lower budget game, but has a nostalgic and interesting feeling, and is actually a point and click game, unlike some latter-day FMV games that are more like choose-your-own-adventure with dialogue prompts.

The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour were both stuck in my head (and on my phone, my old WinAMP playlist, the MIDI's are still floating around my computer somewhere) for the longest time after I discovered those games in the mid 2000's.

Easily Monkey Island. Easily. You can already hear it in your head, can't you?

The Police Quest 2 soundtrack is also amazing.

And in a total different way, i love the Riven soundtrack

Thank you for reminding me, Benny. I've played the Riven soundtrack so many times that I practically have it memorized. I guess it's tied with KQ6 for living rent-free in my head all the time.
