| - The Monkey Island series has had awesome, atmospheric tropical music since 1990. A lot of characters have their own recognizable leitmotifs, and many islands have memorable themes. A lot of the music was composed by LucasArts in-house composer Michael Land.
* The intro theme to the original Secret of Monkey Island, which is so iconic that it has been remixed, for every game, except for the second one.
* The intro theme got ramped up for the Special Edition combining the old and new, the result simply being amazing!
* The music for the Melee Island map.
* The SCUMM Bar theme.
* The theme for Monkey Island itself.
* The second game got its own intro music, which some would argue is better than the first one.
* And its Special Edition version.
* The Underground Tunnels, a surprisingly creepy piece for this series.
* The Scabb Island map.
* Stan got a new theme in this game, which was so great it became his new theme song for the rest of the series.
* The guitar riff in this song is almost otherworldly.
* This song is surprisingly epic too
* A pirate I was meant to be. Also an Ear Worm.
* Blood Island had a tone of good and creepy music. There's the map music, outside the Goodsoup hotel, the upstairs hotel, and the cemetery.
* The cemetery theme is a newly arranged version of the cemetery theme from MI 2, which is also pleasantly creepy.
* Puerto Pollo's theme.
* Lucre Island town music.
* The sweet theme of Spinner Cay, De Singe's theme, Morgan's swordfight theme, Hardtack and Trenchfoot's theme, the Belly of the Manatee, and the finale.
* These songs can be part Creepy Music, part Awesome Music, and part Terrifying Music: "De Singe's Battle Theme", "LeChuck's Revenge", "Rise of the Pirate God", and "The Ultimate Battle".
