Real life songs that mesh perfectly with games

I just flew back in from Vancouver back home to Toronto and decided to boot up my PS4 pro for the first time in months. I was going through my games and started up Burnout Paradise, which is probably my favorite racing game of all time. Anyways, the game immediately starts with Paradise City by Guns n Roses which is the perfect song for the game.

Another example is Verdansk by Santan Dave. While it is not in Call of Duty Warzone, it would be the perfect song to be added to the main menu for obvious reasons.

What other real life songs mesh perfectly with games they are in or songs that would mesh well with games.

I am not even sure what to pick here, because the OST for that game was so great.

Bloodborne and any music by Powerwolf. I have a playlist on Spotify with songs that remind me of Bloodborne.

- Epica - Cry For The Moon
- Ozzy Ozbourne - Bark At The Moon
- Metallica - Of Wolf and Man

And the list goes on.

Don't usually listen to music with games but one time I turned on At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul while I was playing Gears of War and that worked freakishly well.

Finding songs that go great with games used to be a favorite past time of mine. Sadly, I haven't really been able to really enjoy it in years. I miss it. Because of that, my picks are all dated.

I found Spoon went well with COD.
Static X, Chemical Brothers, and Final Fantasy VII OST, for Gears.
Duel of Fates with ocarina of time.

A weird one I found was the zombie shuffling in the start screen of dead rising synced up really well to (milo) from modest mouse's good news.

Country Music specifically Johnny Cash goes great with Mass Effect. Especially Mass Effect 1

F+M's rendition of "Stand By Me" was appropriate in FFXV. The game - and the project that proceeded it - was always Stand By Me - The Video Game.
