So many great answers already, but one I don't think I've seen mentioned yet is the soundtrack for Bastion

Team Fortress 2 OST
I think Zelda: Wind Waker's ost is one of the greats. I'm also surprised nobody has mentioned Earthbound and Mother 3 yet. They have amazing atmospheric tracks like nothing else.
I love soundtracks from Splatoon, all series. Especially Chip Damage/Blitz it! is my favourite.
Mortal kombaaaaaaat
Pa pa pa tum tum tum pa pa pa
Sonic Mania - Hydrocity Zone Act 2
Teenage mutant Ninja turtles iv: turtles in time
IDK if it's best of all time but the soundtrack to Guardians Crusade, a jrpg for kids on the PS1, is pretty up there and waaaaaaayyyyyy better than it has any right to be.
90% of the Sonic Frontiers "Cyberspace" tracks are S tier. The best soundtrack in recent memory.
Almost all Deus Ex soundtrack, and maybe the Synapse level was the best of them.
Total Annihilation
Pretty much the entire Castlevania : Symphony of the night soundtrack... It's all so good. And nostalgic too. One of my favorite games, and favorite soundtracks.

Others have mentioned kingdom hearts, donkey Kong country and Jet Set Radio Future which are some of my favorites, but another one I love is Maplestory. Great simplistic map BGMs that I still listen to quite often when studying or focusing
And now I've got the Henesys music playing in my head. Old MS was so fun back in the day. Mesos pls :'(
Right now I'm going to have to go with a tie between Brok and Graff from Brok the Investigator and the legacy soundtrack piece After The Flames by Josh Woodward from SuperTuxKart.
I’ll add two of my favourites that haven’t been mentioned yet - Metroid Prime is my all time favourite and Horizon: Zero Dawn and Forbidden West which I’ve been listening to a ton late lately

You just have to understand the concept of love!
Okami has a truly beautiful soundtrack, my favourites are the 'The Sun Rises' and The Eight Dog Warriors Theme'. Also Calamari Inkantation from Splatoon is fantastic.
Personally, Quake (1996). I remember playing it as a teen and actually feeling my heart rate increase with the music. It was the first game that the music really immersed me into the game.
Honorable mention, The Housebuilding Song from RDR2. Just a perfect way to lighten the mood after such a hard hitting chapter.
Def hollow knight, I think it captures the essence of a long decaying kingdom perfectly.
Some great ones:
Gyruss (arcade)
Bubble Bobble (arcade)
WipeOut 2097(XL) (psx - probably the best example of songs that compliment the gameplay)
Afterburner II (arcade - just one specific track called City 202, at time 15:34)
Edit: 2 more
720 ( arcade - blistering)
Rolling Thunder ( arcade - max funky )
