Vice City had the best soundtrack overall - the rest were alright and I did appreciate Lakeside in San Andreas but the 80s hits in VC ruled.
The Bioshock and Fallout serieseses introduced me to a bunch of super-old music that's surprisingly good, if only ironically. There's something very satisfying about "Beyond the Sea" in a first-person shooter.

I really hope the guy who wrote/directed Borderlands gets other games to work on that don't suck so bad - he's really talented.
EDIT: on Brutal Legend, I was impressed by the fact that Tim Schafer actually tracked down all the artists for songs he wanted in the game and asked them permission for each one. It would have been cheaper and faster to just get an entire recording license. I applaud his commitment to throwing the horns.
The level where you recruit the headbangers was really well put together, and it's something satisfying about having a boss fight to Rob Zombie - Superbeast.
