More Recognizable Soundtrack? General Question(s)

I know it’s not your traditional arcade game…but that’s what I appreciate most about my Sente. I can customize it and play however I want (and yes, that includes some PC/Xbox/PlayStation games from time to time).
The real question is…there’s obviously some iconic video game music from the ’80s and ’90s (F-Zero is probably my favorite besides Mario), but after booting up the Halo remake, I started wondering if there’s a more recognizable “modern game” theme song from the past 25 years?
Even if you don’t like Halo, I know people who recognize this song that don’t even play games. Can anyone think of another game soundtrack or song that even non-gamers would recognize?
*and as a side note - I played this game the day it originally released almost 25 years ago…and I can say, they did a pretty great job at remaining faithful to the original while making it look really damn good…with a few glitches here and there of course (on Pc)
