I used not to care too much about music when playing videogames: as long as it didn't sound annoying or irritating, it was perfectly fine by me. Now I can understand how good music can make a difference in games when it's aptly used, by helping create the right atmosphere, alter pacing, set the mood, and by giving a game a more distinctive appearance.
Moreover, music is something that is easily memorized and quick to recall, so that by simply listening to some tunes, memories of playing the game can readily be brought back up: it's a bit of a nostalgic feeling what one may experience when listening to a soundtrack: maybe you'll remember how much fun you were having, or how emotionally involved you were when playing a certain sequence of the game. Or, more generally, you'll suddenly remember what you were like back then, how you felt on a particular day or during the period you were playing the game.
Nah... I can't really come up with anything interesting today.
