to me, Sonic the Hedgehog. Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross as well. But that's just to me. Although im sure Sonic has had impact on many other people out there.
Commander Keen, Hocus Pocus, Jazz Jackrabbit, Boppin, Heartlight, Xargon, Gate World, Rise of the Triad, Raptor call of the shadows, and of course Wolfenstien 3d (Blake Stone was "ok").
There are so many it's hard to choose without just listing a load of games.
In terms of impact, Probably Every new Dizzy games we bought on our trusty Amstrad cpc, The first time i played Sonic the hedgehog or First seeing Final fantasy 7.
They're usually a defining moment from one generation to the next.

I'm becoming all nostalgic just looking at Vortex's list. (I never got anywhere in Gateworld, though.)
As for game soundtracks, I always liked the classic Sonic themes as well as some of the more modern power-metally soundtracks from the Dreamcast era. Zero Wing had a great soundtrack, which is often overlooked (along with the entire game save the intro), and the MIDI-jazz of Transport Tycoon was very catchy indeed.
Goldeneye
Perfect Dark
Banjo Kazooie
James Pond: Codename Robocod
GTA: San Andreas
Burnout Revenge
Animal Crossing: Wild World
Sonics 1,2,3 and Knuckles.
Perhaps Sonic Advance 3 as well.

Worms (original PC/Amiga version)
Perhaps Worms: Armageddon
We Love Katamari
Half Life 2
Super Mario Land 2 (Gameboy)
Donkey Kong Country (first one only, rest were average and stupidly hard)
Warioware Inc (first one)
1080 Snowboarding (N64)

I can probably think of a few more, but you'll be bored.

Most memorable soundtracks:

-Commander Keen (you've got to eat your vegetablesss)
-Rise of the Triad
These are games that had a lasting impact on me, a good portion of these games weren't that popular though.
PC:
Master of Orion 2 (you all knew that already though)
Star Trek: Bridge Commander
Mechwarrior 2 - Mechwarrior 4
Mechcommander 1 & 2
System Shock 2 (Best FPS IMO)
Console:
Spider-Man 2 (I actually thought about a spiderman game like this while playing the first GTA3, was so damned happy when someone actually did it)
Front Mission 4 (I love this game, I just wish my damned (3rd)PS2 worked.
Timesplitters 1 + 2 (3 was cool, but the breakneck speed and difficulty were gone, which is what I loved)
Luigi's Mansion (Ghostbusters baby!)
There's probably some more, but I can't think of them right now.
After looking at Hayo's list I'm glad that someone else here besides me has played SoM3.
My favorite song in a game is Celes's theme from Final Fantasy 6. It's quite possibly the most emotionally resounding piece of music ever written for a videogame.
I don't normally like FPS games, but the Age of Empires series kept me interested. Somehow they give the impression that you're actually building something rather than just gathering heaps of resources and spending them on as many units as possible (like in Command and Conquer, in which the winner is decided largely by how many Medium Tanks each side has).

For game music, uhh, I don't pay much attention to it, but I think I like Civ4 the best. I mean, I can't get that menu music out of my head! BABA YETU YETU AMIGA!
Anyway, my parents refuse to let me have a non-portable game console because they are "worried that i'm not getting enough excercise", so i've never heard of most of these games...
Charlie's Angels, Catwoman, Superman on N64, Mortal Kombat on Game Boy, ET on Atari, most of the h-games on Newgrounds, and Double Dare on Nickelodeon. Most movie tie-in games and rushed ports to obscure systems. All the N-Gage stuff and the 3DO. Soggy Biscuit in university frat houses. Hide the salami's good, too. Oh, and budget titles involving driving big rigs. Big Mutha Truckers, anyone? Hell yeah.
Yeah, I did. "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin saw me playing my Game.com one time. He tried to take it away from me, and I bit him. It's why he's only got one nut now. I had to father his children as part of an out-of-court settlement. Bad memories, really.
Metroid Prime
Super Mario 64
Nights into Dreams (I bloody loved this game, my uncle had it.... then he sold his saturn and I almost cried)
Golden Sun
That really good tgf Point and click adventure series. Name escapes me.
Goldeneye 64
