3	* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d353oFK-WKo opening credits theme]] from ''Sam & Max Hit the Road''. "Cheesy retro ambience" never sounded so awesome.
4	* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVoH4odBCvs opening credits theme]] from the ''Sam & Max: Freelance Police'' cartoon, a psychotic hard bop piece that nicely sums up the cartoon's charming madness.
5	* The main themes to each of the Telltale Games seasons:
6	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UnaLmApWPA Sam & Max Save the World]]''. ''Sam & Max Save the World Remastered'' has both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN60cZ_-l4w short]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aujIBa-dVA extended]] forms.
7	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYcp9Xmv4Yw Beyond Time and Space]]''.
8	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ0QcfIDrFw The Devil's Playhouse]]''.
9	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHSMyYpDvhI World of Max]]. The ''Save the World'' remaster [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfSPo5DD48M uses a chill instrumental version]] as its menu theme.
10	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvZO1z3P9lE "Just You and Me (and Ted E. Bear)"]] is the insanely catchy theme of the [[TotallyNotACriminalFront totally legitimate]] Ted E. Bear's Mafia Free Playland and Casino. It's pure jazz joy, and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toSJFX6mmZw instrumental version]] used while walking around the casino is just as good.
11	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2CDTKD77yw The War Room]]. Great horn and drum combo here.
12	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L2Gve7oh_4 War Song]]. Political correctness? The president is a violent sociopath! There is no such thing as PC.
13	* The driving theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roAeuWkzWkY "Cruisin'"]].
14	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PK-vbUsk80 More than Jerks]] Cruisin with lyrics, used as the credits song in one of the episodes.
15	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EOTEN0qNOo Sticking with low bit]] music, the composer J.E.J shows us he can excel in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tw4XLJPfCY other]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgGBPOC-b3Y genres]] (for the record, he is the voice of the C.O.P.S.) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIOKNKYMNCU than]] jazz.
16	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HloIv0chgs0 The low-bittage remix]] (heard in Episode 105) isn't half bad either.
17	%%"Isn't half bad" is a pretty weak argument in favour of why a track is awesome. WHY is it awesome? Really sell it.
18	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6P2688qwhA "Cogs in Motion"]] is like something out of a factory scene in a silent black-and-white 1930's cartoon, which makes it awesome. (It ''does'' play in a factory (of the 30s themed Toy Mafia).)
19	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tthakebpauc The Godfather]] certainly had its effect on the Toy Mafia episode.
20	* For the remaster of ''Beyond Time and Space'', instead of using the slightly-tweaked arrangement of "City Streets" from ''Save the World'' that was used in the original release, it was decided to create an entirely new track, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyJFrSRR2G4 "City Streets Saunter"]]. Compared to "City Streets", this track is overall a more upbeat, jazzier tune, befitting the livelier atmosphere of ''Beyond Time and Space'''s streets.
21	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLiis2buaQo Santa's Demonic Workshop,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGGSO2Gnd1c inside]] and and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tasDnHfTaw0 outside]].
22	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVQ8qnnNT4c Jurgen's Lair Suite]].
23	%%Why are they awesome?
24	* The ominous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T1Mpk0u8MA "Fugue and Dies Irae"]].
25	* Season 2 has a time travel episode. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDkT3Rng9a0 Back]] to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2DvqcF2AWQ 80s!]]
26	* [[http://www.telltalegames.com/videos/samandmaxbasd According to]] composer Jared Emerson-Johnson, each of the Telltale episode contains as much music as an average 30-hour console title. So these games are really concentrated with music of awesome. If an area is reused, the music is reused too - and a lot of areas are reused in Season 1. Even then, some of the tracks are remixed, so to speak, in later seasons. Sybil's office in particular has extra musical accompaniment in Season 2 that wasn't in Season 1.
