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.

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)

Many good ones here already. Another memorable one for me is Metal Gear Solid 3.

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 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.

Sayonara Wild Hearts, not surprising since the entire game is full of beautiful music

How could it get better than Wii Sports Resort?

I always loved the Legally Distinct Massive Attack - Angel from Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Rik Schaffer was on fire for that whole soundtrack.

I use the F-Zero start screen tune as my alarm clock.

Uncharted 2 main theme for me... So short but so damn good.

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.
