Off the top of my head:

 

I thought that song was by Long Beach Dub Allstars, huh.

And yeah, Crazy Taxi was amazing. Same with all the THPS, Matt Hoffman, Street Sk8ter, Thrasher and all those other xtreme sports type games.

Shout out to Gran Turismo because that soundtrack was bitchin.

Mega Man 2 is by far my favourite (and on Spotify too, why did no one tell me?!) but quite an obvious choice. So here's something more niche...

As a collection of bands and songs: Gran Turismo.

 

"Everything Must Go" by Manic Street Preachers (Chemical Brothers remix), "As Heaven Is Wide" by Garbage, "Lose Control" by Ash, "Sweet 16", "Tangerine" and "Chicken On A Bone" by Feeder....In fact this game introduced me to Feeder and although I went off them in later years, their Swim EP (and re-released version), Polythene and Yesterday Went Too Soon are amazing albums.

 

Also, GT3's intro "Just A Day" by Feeder It hyped me to play the first few times I loaded it.

 

Gran Turismo had some amazing '90s tracks in the games and linked to the games.

Other very strong contenders are the Wipeout games or Race Driver: GRID with the UNKLE remix of QOTSA's "No-One Knows" as the intro.

Ruddy Hammy. My picks were Gran Turismo, Burnout 3 and SSX Tricky.

Also the intro to Striker for the Amiga and every later Sensible Software game.

Gotta agree with the Witcher soundtrack sentiment, some truly epic ambient tracks that never feels overbearing and really helps you get into the whole world they've crafted.

Also @ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster , love the Gran Turismo mention. That smooth acid jazz in the game and menus, really etched into my brain... As is 'The Moon' by Yello, when you beat the driver tests in GT3.

Gotta mention Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which has an epic soundtrack of ambient yet brilliant 'epic' style music, in the same vein of Ramin Djawadi and Hans Zimmer. The main theme is on my all-time favourite list of film/game themes, on par with stuff like 'Time'.
