So many great remixes of it too.

The whole collection of music from Stellaris and Cyberpunk are both excellent.
Max Payne. It sets the tone of the game at once.
Syndicate was a really niche entry into the Cyberpunk genre that flopped commercially but had some interesting ideas about corp-ocracy and the way businesses of the future would wage warfare against each other like nations used to.
That main menu music has echoed in my brain for years. Deus Ex: Human Revolution would have been first but Syndicate is less well known and I figured someone already mentioned DE:HR at some point here.
Sm64 file select, lol
The Ghost Recon theme has been stuck in my head off and on ever since it came out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwLIHqkqHcw
I didn't even play the game that much -- I think I beat it once, played the multiplayer a little, and moved on. But the music is catchy.
Fallout 3. Gives me frission every time I hear it.
Xenoblade Chronicles!
I use the F-Zero start screen tune as my alarm clock.
Depends on what mood I'm in.
Currently I'd like to chill, I'm pretty tired, maybe eat an edible if I had one.
So right now I'd have to say the Mass Effect 1 menu music: https://youtu.be/3GXVXYl3_8c?feature=shared
There used to be a mix I would fall asleep to several years ago. It was the engine humming mixed with the occasional beeping and status tones like a computer on the bridge, and the main menu music would play very softly every few minutes. Can't find it anymore, although there are several of those each individually in hour long mixes.
If I want to get pumped though, doom 3 is a good one:https://youtu.be/rs0cSUIKKew?feature=shared although for actual main menu looping music, I'm going to have to agree with GONADS125, battlefield 1942 never fails to get me up and moving. It's a very driving song.
Metroid Prime or Mass Effect
The Elden Ring Main Menu theme has always impressed. It sets the stage very well.
If I think of main menu music only one other game cones to my mind and that's Doom Eternal. I'm not sure if it's necessarily a "good" main menu theme, but the whistling definitely stuck with me.
I always loved the Legally Distinct Massive Attack - Angel from Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Rik Schaffer was on fire for that whole soundtrack.
Baowaowaowaowaowaowaowao
Not main menu but the MGS V deployment music while you're picking out your gear really gets you amped for your next mission. (from 1:10)
Definitely the kind of game where you stay too long in each menu because you don't want to cut off the music
I don't remember if it was in the main menu/what the main menu was, but if you walked onto your balcony in the PC game version of Blade Runner, Vangelis' Blade Runner Blues would play, mixed in with the rain and the sounds of the city. I spent a lot of time just standing on that balcony and letting the music play.
The theme to the original Tomb Raider: https://youtu.be/fIWLT0QVPzw?feature=shared
I hope they keep this for the remaster, for the full nostalgia effect.
Sayonara Wild Hearts, not surprising since the entire game is full of beautiful music
Watch dogs 2
Also atelier iris 3 the grand phantasm has a great intro
"I had a dream that I could fly"
Probably the sting in the original Street Fighter II
Though there's a sort-of full version in MvC as Ryu's theme
A lot of games don't even have menu music anymore, or it's ambient and not really noticeable....
