Not sure it counts as a favorite but I was sure amused when I realised that SOE had effectively paid for an instrumental version of 'pure imagination'.
Jonathan Coulton's astonishing 'Still Alive' for 'Portal'. I learned the lyrics off by heart I was so impressed. One of the most sinister but beautiful songs in all of gaming.
I also used to like the pounding music by Laura Karpman for Everquest 2's Commonlands. It wasn't very like a medieval dungeon and dragons theme at all; it was more like a brilliant opener for an exciting sports show hosted by Dan Patrick, but it worked for me. Check it out.
To Zanarkand from FFX was the first thing that popped into my mind when i read the topic
Especially after hearing it every time you load the game, and then you finally get to that scene. Very powerful.
I also remember playing FFVI way back when, and letting Cid die (unintentionally). The sad version of the opera house song as Celes throws herself off a cliff...that got to me.

Still alive is awesome, since Portal there's not a single Weatherstock in LotRO without a Still alive version with awesome lyrics usually this year the Remediators played it in a PvMP mashup, freep side had Do you want to form a freep raid (Frozen's build a snowman), and as a reply from the creep side the Orcs are still alive. My favourite version was maybe 1 or 2 Weatherstocks ago, a poor goblin's sad song in Goblin-town, after a big white dude and a horde of vicious dwarves massacred his whole family and he was the only one left still alive

Dude, can you explain what you are talking about in this paragraph? It sounds interesting but I have no idea what any of it means.

Sorry, my bad LotRO has player-performed music as a mechanic. Some write their own songs, others do transcripts of popular songs, but with lore-based lyrics. Weatherstock is the biggest concert in the game (every year, hundreds of people, 5-7 hours long). Still alive is one of the most popular tracks for transcript. PvMP is LotRO's version of pvp, so from the creep side (Sauron's army, orcs, wargs, spiders) it's a fitting song usually. This year's Still alive, mentioned above:
(sadly a bit laggy, before their performance the server crashed, so it was the stage where people still kept logging back, that's why the music has some "hiccups". We crash the server every year, Turbine uses the event as stress test on the hardware )

I searched for some of the performances you mentioned on YouTube. They're great. LOTRO looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Has to be WoW's Elwynn Forest vanilla tracks.
An End Once and For All -- Mass Effect 3
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
FFX is by far my most favorite.
Ere the World crumbles.
Enjoy!

Post made me recall Wow's Shimmering Flats & how fitting it is, baking to death on an unforgiving desert.
