I'll start off with Raiden II's Repeated Tragedy.
A local restaurant had this game, and every time we went, I'd beg my parents for money so that I could play it. I wasn't very good at the game, so I never got past the first stage, and so I heard this song a lot. Really gives me nostalgia.
Also got to shout out Streets, from Timesplitters too. I put a lot of time into this game as a kid, and this song is what got me into futurepop (love me some VNV Nation).
for burned into brain it's definitely chiptune music from NES games I played as a kid like:
Big Nose the Caveman - Level 2
Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy - Pirate Ship
The Jetsons - Cogswells Caper! Level 1
also I guess the Quake 3 Rocket Arena 3 theme from back in the day
when parts of this or this come on while playing ESO in the Morrowind region it feels special
There's also a lot of game music I like but from games I never played so I won't list any of those
novalis theme from ratchet and clank and pretty much all of sim city 4, but shout out to rush hour

The ambient music from Mass Effect 2 that plays while you're probing for resources. I know lots of people hated that mini-game, but I found it extremely soothing and spent hours and hours doing it.
The galaxy map song from that game is what got me into ambient music and changed my life for the better. It just hits my brain perfectly
I probably spent so much time during my formative years (and some of my adulthood) playing Age of Empires II and Age of Mythology that these were the only ones I could remember off the top of my head. Many others I can remember if I think about the game, but not as easy.
Also, Asylum Demon, Firelink Shrine, Ornstein and Smough and Gwyn Lord of Cinder from Dark Souls 1. I've probably beat that game dozens, if not hundreds of times, and have used a ton of playthroughs as background noise before going to bed.

This was a triumph
I'm making a note here: Huge. Success.
It's hard to overstate my satisfactionnnnn
🎵 🎵
oooh for me it's gonna have to be dark hollow from spyro the dragon!
The Whirling in Rags theme and Martinaise theme (the one with the distorted horn) from Disco Elysium.
Every boss theme from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
About half of the character themes from Guilty Gear: Strive (and I haven't even played the game!).
FTL soundtrack is great
A friend of mine plays video games on speakers and has the Hotline Miami soundtrack playing in the background of all games, so whenever he mics in, I hear that playing in the background
Risk of Rain 2 menu theme, I will get this song stuck on a loop inside my head for hours at a time.

Lots of songs from the Zelda games. Gerudo Valley and Lost Woods from Ocarina of Time come to mind.
Oh yeah, Windmill Hut is another song that will bounce around inside my skull unbidden
Yup, that’s another one! Some of the tunes from Windwaker and other games in the series also.

On Christmas Day of 1999, I was gifted a copy of Homeworld. A few days later I was treated to a very groovy credits track by Yes, a band I had never heard of... but now wanted to hear more of. So I decided to give this new thing called Napster a try, and my first search was Homeworld Yes. The rest is history - in a real sense, I discovered music that day.
Okay, the songs that are belovedly burned into my brain are coming from FF7 Original, Disco Elysium, Civ 4, and so on. They're great songs from great games.
But this is permanently burned into my brain because it's just so fucking weird.
Ah, video game songs that are just plain weird are one of my guilty pleasures. Here's one that lives rent-free in my head.

Street Fighter 3 Third Strike - Character Select theme I don't have nostalgia since I don't really play it, but it's probably one of my fav character select theme for some reason
C&C Tiberian Sun - Lone Trooper All C&C games have bangers but I particularly like the Tiberian Sun soundtrack
Guilty Gear Strive - Requiem [I-No's theme] I just love the character and I just wished they added her boss theme from the Korean OST of GGXX
