Just the old jingle from the original Metal Gear Solid always had me going.

So many have already posted the ones I was thinking about.
Ridge Racer 5 menu music


I miss how NAMCO used to put in references of their arcade games in the music.

Bloodborne OST is AMAZING! Slowly comes in and then just gets more and more intense from near the one minute mark on.

The music for this menu, mean more for me than the rest of the game... BL4, dying constantly. 6 years ago.. I have 3 bosses to go for the true Win. It's coming, though... I stopped after Twitch got rid of all of my main highlights, they restored 99% of them and here I am, gonna redo some and finish the rest. SeemsGoodMan

 

[Hastelander]

Are we talking strictly main menu?
But if we're allowed to include sub menus...

I don't know about best, but RE6's most memorable piece is the Collection menu theme.

Yeah great intro/menu music gets stuck in your head and ends up a sort of mental trigger for everything you've experienced or are about to experience in a game. Other games who's menu screen give me the feels are Metroid Prime 1 and 2, Metroid, Super Metroid, Jet Force Gemini, MDK 2, Folklore, Blaster Master, and the save screen from SOTN.

Also Bloodborne was my first 'Souls' game and so it will always hold a special place in my mind. I remember thinking holly hell this is hard, played games for a long time but not particularly good at them, and I gave up a hand full of times early in the game. But then it just kept calling me back. Something about just having one more run, and then it gets it's hooks all the way in you and doesn't let go.

The "press start" screen was great too:

Wow you know the lyrics from memory?

I memorized the lyrics to this song too!

Wait for it.

 

[nightmare-slain]

i looove that menu music.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

No Dragon's Dogma yet?

wtf I love Captain Toad now

 

[mortal]

 

[The_Mike]

Gears of Wars menu music always gets me. It's so creepy yet good.

 

[Mediocre Arachno-Lad]

 

[mortal]

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Oooh, thats good.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Not sure if anyones posted this, but I always loved this

 

[Edellus]

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

There's a lot of good ones, but this one always gets me hyped.

 

[Guilty_AI]

In honor of the new release

 

[Puscifer]

Will always be one of if not my favorites, especially when you first notice the creep in when playing.

 

[Flabagast]

Love the one in FF16



you instantly know shit's gonna get real.

 

[Thief1987]

 

[Bry0]

And also

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Does this count?

 

[mortal]

Love the one in FF16

That drumming

I'd let this play for a good couple of minutes before every playthrough.
It's become one of my favorite renditions of the Prelude theme.

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

 

[Trilobit]

The Long Dark has one of the best and most fitting menu themes I've heard.



It's beautifully haunting and sad and fits the themes of the game.

---

Pac-man World 2 PS2 has an uplifting theme that's much better than anything I could have expected.

 

[KXVXII9X]

THE WIND IS PUSHING ME!!

Also Deus Ex has some incredible menu music as well!

 

[KXVXII9X]

The Disgaea 5 base music (the base is basically an elaborate menu really - with NPC's serving as traditional choices). I wasn't expecting a whole-ass song complete with vocals and Japanese electric jazz guitar. Also mad groovy when stoned:

"I have a BUTTON!"

 

[Johnny2Bad]

 

[MisterBrimstone]

this is just porn to my ears.

 

[Neon Xenon]

Recently listened to Gateway, the Main Menu music from Ace Combat 04 again. It still holds up and leaves a good impression about what else to expect from the soundtrack (the rest of which is also fantastic).



Even AC04's Main Menu itself is worth mentioning. Simple, functional, stylish.

 

[mortal]

 

[mortal]

 

[rofif]

trolling aside, the main menu theme is pretty good

 

[drganon]

 

[cireza]

I really like the Deck menu music from PSO episode 3

 

[Deerock71]

this is just porn to my ears.

Can't believe it took this long!

my boner burst through my dungarees when l got home from the H2 midnight launch and that intro music started playing. greatest guitar riff in history.

mario 64 and kingdom hearts also have menu music you can procreate to

 

[Bogard]

I know opinions on KoF 2006 were incredibly mixed, but I was always fond of the profile menu theme:
