I could not even describe this song when I first heard it as a kid. As an adult, I realize this is the funkiest shit ever.

The Trent Reznor music from Doom III. Gets my blood pumping, ready to fight!
The Halo theme is a close runner up.
The title song of Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon
The shift in tone about halfway through is insane and gives me goosebumps every single time.
It's a piece of music featured in surviv.io, a browser 2D battle royale that has a tragic story of being acquired by a stupid company who ran it to the ground.
Occasionally a Desert Rain Map rotation would happen, and this track is played on loops in a saloon, which there is only one. The relaxing vibes contrast so much with the battle royale.
Going old school here - Central Park Loading Theme from Last Ninja 2.
Good choice!
Definitly Black Fairy by Akira Yamaoka from Silent Hill 2. If you played it you know how powerful this track is.
At the moment, it's Maya's theme from Killer Instinct 2013. It's an 8-minute long banger and I never get tired of it. But, my absolute favorite track changes every time I think about it.
Edit: Yup, I just remembered Nobuo Uematsu's Final Destination theme and holy crap! Now that's my absolute favorite.
If you mean music, it depends on how you can define 'from a video game. If it has to be in the game, The Last of Us by Gustavo Santolalla. If you can allow a bit of a stretch to gameplay-adjacent spaces, it's Daylight's End from League of Legends. Lots of fun music in the LoL space but, without exaggeration, that one was so beautiful I wept when I heard it.
Now if you mean race track: probably Mist Falls from Ridge Racer 7. So much SPEED and adrenaline next to a calm buddha.
I think the main theme from the second is better. Really reminds me of Feel Good Lost by BSS. I mean, he song, but that whole album is very much a similar vibe and I think you should check it out if you havent
I still prefer the original, but it's still Santolalla so it's good.
Hadn't heard of BSS before. Thanks.
There's so many good songs out there. I love the soundtrack for all the Kingdom hearts games, both games in the Chrono series, Minecraft, and Stardew Valley. My favorites would have to be the winter songs in Stardew.
I almost always mute in-game music as the first step before even playing, sorry.
Either Nemesis the Warlock or Planescape: Torment's 'Bones of the Night' by Mark Morris.

Need For Speed 2 - Headless Horse
One of the two songs that can play during Proving Grounds oval track or on the results screen. It's random.

There are some great answers here already, but nothing else makes me want to kick off a new run-through like this does.
The version of Rooftop Run from Sonic Generations
Really most Sonic music, but that song along with the excitement of that level perfectly captures what I love about those games.
It's nothing flashy, but I think my favorite track is "Vermillion wasteland" from Crosscode. It really sets the mood to one of the best experiences I've had in a video game period.
