2----
3* 1989's ''Pinball/BlackKnight 2000'' is known for having one of the best soundtracks ever for a pinball game, composed by Brian Schmidt, [[Franchise/MortalKombat Dan "Toasty!" Forden]], and the game's designer, Creator/SteveRitchie. [[https://youtu.be/fCKDvjVzpNQ Take a listen here]].
4* Another contender is 1993's ''Pinball/TwilightZone''. It helps that they borrowed the Music/GoldenEarring hit song of the same name. [[https://youtu.be/0GYmfrxntiA Listen for yourself here]] [[https://youtu.be/aPbeMB2cYTc and also here]].
5* Dan Forden's mix of Music/ZZTop's [[https://youtu.be/oD10ZVlup0I "La Grange"]] for ''[[Pinball/HighSpeed The Getaway: High Speed II]]'' fits in here as well. As does the original ''Pinball/HighSpeed''[='s=] [[https://youtu.be/yTpwBI4Ez9M jackpot theme,]] by Creator/SteveRitchie and Bill Parod.
6* The [[https://youtu.be/yOsfI_tIynU soundtrack]] from ''Pinball/F14Tomcat'' features some ridiculously amazing music done by the people who did the music for ''Black Knight 2000''. The main theme, high score[[note]](the U.S. Navy anthem "Anchors Aweigh")[[/note]], and multiball themes, in particular, are well done.
7* For DigitalPinballTables, ''VideoGame/ProPinballTimeshock'' really stands out with its soundtrack, along with generally being one of the best computer pinball games ever. [[https://youtu.be/bQMOwKIniFo Here's a great video, if you have over an hour to spare.]]
8* ''Pinball/ElviraAndThePartyMonsters'' has a surprisingly awesome soundtrack, especially for the [[https://youtu.be/oe1zqOSWdv0&t=3m43s multiball jackpot]] and the [[https://youtu.be/oe1zqOSWdv0&t=5m39s three-million-point "Elvira's Theme."]]. It's even better actually playing the game, as the pinball playfield lights are synchronized to the music.
9* ''Pinball/TXSector'', in all its eighties {{Chiptune}} glory. [[https://youtu.be/oBSwzJheylQ Listen to it here.]]
10* ''Pinball/WhiteWater'' has some particularly memorable music, mostly the multiball songs, but the [[https://youtu.be/NPZ3kzk3gw4?t=20s Vacation Jackpot]] sequence as well. The [[FissionMailed machine]] [[{{Blipvert}} goes]] [[MindScrew crazy]].
11* ''Pinball/JudgeDredd'' has some awesome hard rock music, especially the main theme.
12* Everything in [[VideoGame/ThePinballArcade Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection]], particularly the opening theme song. Notable because Chris Kilne did the majority of tracks for the game.
13* Pretty much all of ''Pinball/WorldCupSoccer''[='=]s soundtrack, particularly [[https://youtu.be/xlItU0d9YFE the main theme.]]
14* ''[[Pinball/TimeMachineDataEast Time Machine]]'' by Data East has some amazing music as well, even for a late 80s game. Particularly the Jackpot tune, the 70s tune, and the end karaoke ([[ExpositoryThemeTune "Time Machine, where you go back in time..."]])
15* [[https://youtu.be/Bgn7iupJtfU The main theme of]] ''Pinball/{{Indianapolis 500}}'', a swelling, adrenalin-filled tune that captures the speed and excitement of the RealLife race that it's based on. The theme could step into the climax of a SportsStory {{Film}} without a single change.
16* ''VideoGame/LastGladiators'' is already filled with numerous awesome RatedMForManly soundtracks, but the topper is [[https://youtu.be/1_vj7I7BFYk the opening title tune]], over a minute-and-a-half of white-hot speed rock awesome.
17* The [[https://youtu.be/fUFLBEFaB78 main theme]] for ''Pinball/{{Victory}}'' is rather catchy, in a [[TheEighties late eighties]] {{Chiptune}} way.
18* The main theme for ''Pinball/{{Jackbot}}'' is a snazzy jazz rendition of the original ''Pinball/{{Pinbot}}'' theme and [[https://youtu.be/HkMpFN-W8dQ boy is it catchy]]. Likewise, [[https://youtu.be/T1UJjOhE5zo the Casino Run theme]] is an upbeat, frantic synth piece that perfectly describes the feeling of pressing one's luck.
19* The [[https://youtu.be/efxsCHsmWA4 Lightning Racer mode theme]] in ''[[VideoGame/ThreeDUltraPinballThrillride 3D Ultra Pinball: Thrillride]]'' is one looping epic guitar solo. Who knew building your own roller coaster would rock so much? Then there's [[WizardMode Nighttime Fantasy]]. Of all the choices of music to get you pumped for a WizardMode, what would be more fitting than a [[https://youtu.be/NPfxcNt1-QM freaking ORCHESTRA?]]
20* A lot of ''Pinball/TheXFiles''' music is surprisingly good[[note]]presumably because of Brian Schmidt's involvement[[/note]] -- see [[https://youtu.be/klI4qOffWxE the multiball]], [[https://youtu.be/y9U0vupAUIo Jackpot Collected]], and [[https://youtu.be/hGJqoGz8WXI Smoking Man]] themes -- but the best is [[https://youtu.be/X--6muJSoPA Blood]] (the WizardMode's theme), which can be compared to a BossRemix of the series' theme song.
21* ''Pinball/BanzaiRun''[='=]s soundtrack is highly energetic, [[https://youtu.be/uvnCD4kHEMo as demonstrated here]].
22* ''[[VideoGame/Doom2016 DOOM]]'''s 2016 reboot had [[AwesomeMusic/{{Doom}} a deafening, wicked soundtrack]] alright, courtesy of Mick Gordon. Turns out that when Creator/ZenStudios turned it into [[VideoGame/DoomZenStudios a virtual pinball table]], one would figure that it wouldn't feel like ''DOOM'' without that soundtrack...
23* ''Pinball/SwordsOfFury'', [[https://youtu.be/RMIp5nG-C3o in all its 80s musical glory]], starts off slowly and melancholic, but the instrumentation builds as balls are captured. Come the start of multiball, the music changes into a charged-up battle anthem.
