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 )

Definitely the best video game music is from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Stains of Time is my favorite.
Def hollow knight, I think it captures the essence of a long decaying kingdom perfectly.
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.
Almost all Deus Ex soundtrack, and maybe the Synapse level was the best of them.
Ahhh but which Still Alive?
You probably meant the one from Portal, but I much prefer the one from Mirror's Edge! Beautiful song!
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.
Sonic Mania - Hydrocity Zone Act 2
90% of the Sonic Frontiers "Cyberspace" tracks are S tier. The best soundtrack in recent memory.
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
Yes to Metroid Prime!
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.

You just have to understand the concept of love!
Unorthodox opinion here but Wasteland 3, the first time the Battle Hymn of the Republic played over a fight was incredible.
Your reality is amazing
This is going to be highly subjective.
For me, this may not be the best, but it's one of the more memorable soundtracks.
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Manaan theme. https://youtu.be/CNe4XHbkEZA
Just one track? The Requiem of Shield Knight from Shovel Knight.
I am personally in love with Far Cry 5's soundtrack.
The original Destiny sound track was fire
I'm going to give honorable mention to Buck Bumble on the N64.
I remember basically nothing about the game, or even if it was any good, but I rented it once at blockbuster and like 2 decades later the theme song still pops into my head once in a while.
Buck to the bass
I'm surprised that no one mentioned the Metal Gear Solid series. The music was incredible, and it's got one of the most memorable songs in Snake Eater. I'm also a big fan of Can't Say Goodbye to Yesterday .
Deep Stone Lullaby fro the Deep Stone Crypt raid in Destiny 2.
It’s an absolutely beautiful piece of music, but so much impactful more when tied to where it appears in the raid as you battle your way across the underside of the space station, all of the other sounds muffled by the vacuum of space.
I don’t know who the guy is, but this video of DrLupo playing it with an orchestra playing the track live while he does is pretty damned amazing.

Kenshi has some of the best ambient music. Scorching wind gives chills every time.
Diablo 1 - Tristram Theme
