Age of Wonders 1 soundtrack stuck with me much more than the later AoWs.

Dawn of War 1's soundtrack to me was one of the best ever.  Stuck in my head to this day, and haven't played it in years.

Some music that stayed in my mind:

- Star Trek: Birth of the Federation
- Celtic Kings: Rage of War
- Knights of Honor
- Crusader Kings
- Armada 2526
- Glory of the Roman Empire
- American Conquest: Divided Nations

How could I have forgot Planescape Torment's haunting lyrics? :-\
"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

Right this moment my car playlist includes Michael Giaccano's music from the original Medal of Honor and its two expansions (mixed with tracks from Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow since the orchestrations are quite similar).

I actually listen to a lot of game music along with movie soundtracks, including music mentioned above from Fantasy General, AoW:SM, and Skyrim. I'd be here for hours listing things, but I don't think I've seen the God of War or Batman: Arkahm games yet -- I have a massive mp3 megamix of the GoW games and Arkham City combined with the soundtrack to the Lucasfilm Games Playstation 2 game Gladius (which if no one has played it is a great turn-based tactical fighter).
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

AGEOD games usually have good music as well.

Particularly Revolution Under Siege, what's not to like about a game that features the Worker's Marseillaise sung by the Chamber Choir of the Krupskaya Leningrad State Institute of Culture.

Also Tropico (1 and 4)

Oh, I also forgot the original XCOM! Sufficiently eerie, it still sticks in my mind when I think about XCOM.
"My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the commonplace of existence."
-Sherlock Holmes

"You know, just once I'd like to meet an alien menace that wasn't immune to bullets."
-Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart

"There's a horror movie called Alien? That's really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you!"
-The Doctor

"Before Man goes to the stars he should learn how to live on Earth."

Warhammer 40k Final Liberation heavy metal soundtrack

Warhammer 40k Chaos Gate also had this weird chant song

The music in John Tiller's Campaign Series always stuck in my head and whenever I heard the music anywhere else I instantly think of the game.
"No wants, no needs, we weren't meant for that, none of us.  Man stagnates if he has no ambition, no desire to be more than he is."

King of Dragon Pass has an excellent period feel to it.  One of the few I've never turned the music off after becoming sick of the repetitiveness (and I do that for nearly all of them).

I've also enjoyed Total War Shogun 2's soundtrack, despite one or two individual tracks not being so high on my list.


Gusington

Huw great call on the music from Defender of the Crown. 25 years later and I still hum some of those tunes. Medieval 2 Total War also has some great music.

We can't live under the threat of a c*nt because he's threatening nuclear Armageddon.

Apache: Air Assault -- goes very well with the National Treasure movie scores.

Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.

Age of Conan, hands down.
No other game has ever smacked me in the face with that much awe before and since.

However, if pilots would need to do daily what they are capable of doing, nobody would dare to fly anymore."
