For me: the Out Run OST. Everyone listens to and praises Nintendo OSTs or Square Enix, but Out Run is something else. I have rarely listened to video game music that catchy.

NFS underground or most wanted.
I wouldn’t call them my favourites, but I will call them a perfect fit. The licensed soundtrack in MW has exactly the correct feel for the game.
That’s why I think they’re great. Good standalone songs put in a fitting context.
Bought and played NFS heat recently. Game was surprisingly good, music, however had too much hip-hop/pop and stuff like that for my taste so that was disappointing.
Prostreet too
I also like NFS Carbon to be honest.
Never played it, but it has kyuss. That alone makes it great. The rest are a bonus.
Need For Speed - Underground 2
I love this game. The soundtrack and atmosphere are perfect
probably Distance
Flatout: Ultimate Carnage or Need For Speed: Underground
Yep Underground
MX Vs. ATV Unleashed
Something about the early 2000s alt and buttrock that just does it for me.
F-Zero GX, hands down. Nothing else is even close.
Hell yeah, F-Zero.
What was the name of that motorcycle racing game where you also beat up other racers all while racing to Soundgarden… That one.
Road Rash?
Yes thats it. I gotta go find that disk somewhere in my old folders now
Gran Turismo - the first one
And Two honestly.
Burnout 3
Sonic R
It’s a hill I’m willing to die on.They put all the budget into the music lol
true, at least someone had their priorities straight!
Initial D and Tokyo Xtreme Racer series.
My shortlist is probably WipEout Pulse (I love how that entire series feels like a game made out of electronic music, the same way Doom is made out of metal), WipEout 2048 (for the same reason, but I played it even more), Forza Motorsport 2 (cuz it had a huge influence on my taste at a very young age), and then maybe Gran Turismo 5?
I don’t even like that genre of music much, but it is so perfect for Wipeout and the selection is excellent
in the following order:
It’s not a car racing game, but SSX 3 had such a great soundtrack. It’s hard to find nowadays.
