* [[https://youtu.be/Hk_EZpqPUf8 "Saluting the Fallen"]], added in 2020 in honor of Rick May who tragically passed from COVID-19. It starts with patriotic drum roll, before transitioning to a haunting yet respectful trumpet solo. A truly fitting song to send off such an amazing voice actor.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXnPT0uyDoE The soundtrack accompanying the animation for the fan-made End of the Line update]]. It switches from tense brass for the opening scene, to low percussion and metallic clinks for the train chase sequence, and from there it takes on high-energy strings for when Scout is searching to defuse the payload bombs, with the final tune being an epic 30-second orchestra in the style of a typical Western showdown. Pure, distilled awesome.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRDmirJATKs The Main Theme]]. Short and simple, yet catchy, tt sets the tone for the entire game. Of course, there's the iconic final eight seconds (referred to as the "ending flourish") which never seems to get less awesome to listen to, especially with its inclusion at the ending sting of every "Meet the..." video.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECniCUjYiCU "Mannrobics"]], which plays during the Mannrobics taunt, is another one, being a pretty catchy 80s-esque riff.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-7QDCfkaxY "Soldier of Dance"]], which plays when you use the Kazotsky Kick taunt. There's a ''reason'' why it one of the most popular taunts in the game.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eDGD7kwsxM The game's theme song]], which sounds like a theme song to a badass mystery show. Of course, there's the iconic final eight seconds (referred to as the "ending flourish") which never seems to get less awesome to listen to, especially with its inclusion at the ending sting of every "Meet the..." video.
* The background music for "Meet the Medic". [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGXV1c7VcG0 "A Little Heart To Heart"]] and the appropriately titled [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6NQx4WRRg0E MEDIC!]] are now songs in the main menu when you start up the game. The Manniversary update added a gentle clarinet rendition of "A Little Heart To Heart", appropriately named "Archimedes".

* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6NQx4WRRg0 MEDIC!]]". The song that plays in Meet The Medic when [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Medic Übercharges Heavy and they plow through all those soldiers.]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRDmirJATKs The Heavy's jazzy theme]]. Short and simple, yet catchy. It encompasses the vibe of the entire game in general (black comedy in a '60s setting) so well that it's known simply as the 'Team Fortress 2 Theme'.
** Now with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Bqs8gUKaKg 100% more metal!]]
** And then SEGA got a hold of it and produced [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2rnR9V5Mdk a remix]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGXV1c7VcG0 A Little Heart to Heart]]. The sound of progress.
* Another for the Medic, this time, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPHbP-kpxxY Archimedes]].

* An example from the fandom is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDzLyVGWASk Next Time]], a beautiful song by Ben Forbes (the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXKcojj7Vk4 Pyrocar]] guy) looking back on the Saxxy Awards entries.
* While technically not from ''Team Fortress 2'' itself, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YN1YnqdjPo Afterlife]] was composed for the Saxxy Award-winning [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NCERdh_-j4 Story of a Sentry]], and... well, no words can express the [[TearJerker sheer]] [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments beauty]] contained within this song.

** Made ten times more majestic with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLVOCWzX3a0 this arrangement]] by The Synthetic Orchestra.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llOvd2yGEio "Playing with Danger"]], which is like an orchestral reprise of the theme song that still retains the original's excitement and energy.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YojvbhKOxMc "Seduce Me!"]], a hot jazz tune (with prominent "sex-aphone") played during Scout's combination MakeoverMontage / TrainingMontage.

** Another for the Medic, this time, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPHbP-kpxxY Archimedes]].

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw-WJkJK210 "ROBOTS!"]] An extremely catchy, rapidly-escalating theme that, with its off-key notes and high, whining, unnerving sound makes it distinctly inhuman. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger and more and more insurmountable - this is the sound of a horde of robots, swarming you, more than you can ever count.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2QpThyVL8s "The Calm"]]. An unbelievably epic buildup to the above tune.

* Engineer's theme, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm1_zBSUYFc More Gun]]", starts out as a calming guitar melody, but then takes a turn for the awesome when it changes into a dark western themed showdown song. To explain a little more, the song's only instrument (for 53 seconds) is a guitar. After said 53 seconds, an electric guitar, a tuba, and a trumpet get added and turns the song into a sinister-but-awesome western song. It's as awesome as it sounds.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeDI-ahJT04 "It Hates Me So Much"]], a twangy pseudo-surf-rock number playing on the dance floor Scout sets out (which abruptly morphs into something much more sinister when Soldier reveals his activities over the past three days).
