Best sounding games or sfx in games

Seems like it's always about visuals in video games or gameplay I don't think I've seen a thread about games with most memorable tunes and sound effects.
I hear the following sounds in my head (that's right! coo-coo!) since I first stepped into the arcades:

grobda - sfx and hi score jingle
commando - first level music (I usually can't get past that so I don't know if there is anything else memorable)
mikie - music
Tokio (Scramble Formation) - tune before level starts
Green Beret (rush'n'attack) - death/hi score tune

P.s. let's just limit to ARCADE video games no pc/console, etc.

DaveMMR:

Just off the top of my head:

The "Insert Coin" sound in many Atari games always gives me goosebumps.
The announcer in Gauntlet
Level 2 of Marble Madness
And of course, the opening themes to Pacman, Galaga, Time Pilot and Donkey Kong.

Gyruss - Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor

yotsuya:

Defender "Coin Up" sound.

drventure:

The williams games always had great sound fx to me (like Defender, Stargate, Robotron, etc).

One that always gets me for music is Ribbit, but you have to be a classical fan.
