Superb writing, witty jokes, great animation (though it definitely improves as the seasons progress), as well as some surprisingly genuine and heartwarming moments peppered throughout. And on rewatches, its satire of superheroes and supervillians hits even more potently, in this age of mega-blockbuster Marvel/DC superhero film over-saturation. It's the complete package.
When Adult Swim cancelled The Venture Bros I went cold turkey on Adult Swim. I don't care what the viewership or advertising metrics or whatever looked like: it was far and away the most superb original program they've ever aired IMO, and I don't know if they'll ever earn my forgiveness (though greenlighting the movie is a start). It was a deeper stab to the guts than Fox/Comedy Central cancelling Futurama, for me.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
The one pick I'm truly surprised isn't here already. Frank Klepacki is a legend for his work on basically every C&C game there is, but Red Alert 2 is probably my personal favorite. Blend of 90s industrial/metal influences. If Hell March 2 doesn't make you want to bulldoze NYC with an army of bomb-slinging zeppelins, giant squids, and tank-eating spider robots, I don't know what will.

Ace Combat Zero
Plenty of good choices for good Ace Combat OSTs, but Zero stands out for me. This pick is spurred by one song primarily, as the flamenco guitar driven title track "Zero" is just out of this world.

Hard Truck Apocalypse
This one plays on repeat in my head way more than it should. Admittedly, because the game itself was a very mixed bag (best described as a "buggy, janky, open world, truck-based mechwarrior RPG"). But even after getting bored and quitting the game halfway through, I still made damn sure to listen to every single song I missed afterwords.
