Idea stolen from this man

Just 30 fav songs that came out of my head, I could have kept going but for the sake of brevity these are some good ass cool tunes.

"Green Hill Zone"
Hearing this at the age of 4 permanently damaged my brain. Despised by many nowadays, but deep down they know this is one for the ages.
"This World Is Not My Home"
Try Not To Cry Challenge
"Suburban Museum"
If you feeling nothing hearing this, stop playing videogames. Pure distilled magic.
"The Place I'll Return To Someday"
Still one of the most haunting calls to adventure to grace title screen.
"Harmony"
Hilarious how this piece betrays the player into thinking the outrageous difficulty spike is gonna be smooth sailing and all roses.
"Unknowable Geometry"
Music can make fighting a triangle the most death defying thing ever.
"Metropolitan Edge"
A good title screen track should make you waste a couple of secs on it every time you start the game.
"Subwoofer Lullaby"
When the square sun hits the dirt house just right and this plays.

Rez

"Rock is Sponge"
You could play this at a rave and be the king of the party ez.
"Theme of Puyo Puyo"
First heard this one during the credits of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, shame we didn't get the original in the west.
"Apotheosis"
One of the most shiver inducing experiences ever.
"Hana Valley"
What heroin must sound like. Hearing this at the top of the Catcall Tower is a special moment.
"The Unexpected Enemy"
This one gets my blessing for showing up again in Saga, but it's amazing all on its own, perfect somber tune for a final boss.
"Panic Puppet Zone Act 1"
You never expected that saving a bunch of birds from Robotnik would have such a sense of importance and finality, did ya?
"Calm Before the Storm"
I love the introspective and dream like tone of this one, I don't even remember at what point this plays in the game.
"Temple of Time"
Might be an eye roll inducing pick, but it really felt like Nintendo was saying something about the series with this piece. I love the simplicity and disjointed feel of it.
"Kinetic Harvest"
It's impressive how a soundtrack manages to elevate an otherwise mid game.
"9-bit Expedition"
What nostalgia sounds like to me.
"Crash Man Stage"
"You just say Mega Man 2 is the best one cause of the soundtrack"
Yes.
"Your Affection"
I don't know why, but I just love the fuzzy feeling this one gives, especially with that broken english.
"Sailing on the Wind"
I wanna be a petal in the wind :'(
"The Ancient Dragon"
Boring pick, but slogging through Blighttown and then descending a giant tree I discovered by accident to find myself in Ash Lake with a choir telling me this area is very important dude! is really all I need from videogames.
"Interactive Gardens"
That fucking flute, man.
"Vendetta Preps"
Bully 2, please.
"Main Theme"
You can listen to this on its own and you will have the equivalent of a cinematic experience.
"Dive Into the Heart"
Sometimes you wonder why you even like KH, then you start the game up and you go "oh yeah, thats why".
"Vendecentre"
Beautiful piece to fly around an european inspired landscape.

Fez

"Home"
Yeah, yeah, Phil Fish fucking sucks.
"Water Melody"
Brutal game, but man these tunes.
