There was some discussion earlier in the comments about the best intro for a game which instantly brought to my mind the intro for Chrono Cross. For me, the song seals the deal as it gave me goosebumps when it switches up the pace.

For me, I link music to the experience I'm going through at the moment and that just left an indelible mark on me. How about each of you share a specific moment in a game where the music just made the experience that much better?
