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?

LOTS of songs from Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory. A lot of the songs came flooding back as I tried to list them. I might exceed the character limit if I tried! So many beautiful songs ☺

Bojack Horseman has one of the best openings in TV.

Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex has my favorite Anime themes (though tied with Cowboy Bebop)

I agree with Interstellar.

For video games, The Outer Worlds was a meh game with a great theme, Mass Effect's soundtrack was great, but I have to dip into two Licasarts classics for the best music- Curse of Monkey Island, and The Dig.

The Sopranos had a great opening theme. So did GoT.

As for movies, Pump Up the Volume had a killer soundtrack, as well as the original Ghostbusters.

If anyone would like to check out experimental electronic jazz, I suggest an album called Deep Breakfast by Ray Lynch. Then there is Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield, made famous by the movie The Exorcist.

Jean Michelle Jerre has done a couple of great albums, including Zoolookologie, Oxygen, and others.

Art of Noise is worth checking out. You've heard them, you just don't know you have.

Well, that's media music and a few "out there" suggestions. Enjoy!

I really liked the soundtrack to Westworld. And Doom Eternals. Deus Ex Human Revolution is great too
