I mean, obviously I'm biased, but Space Quest III just had one of the most amazing kick-ass soundtracks. Composed by Bob Siebenberg, the drummer from Supertramp!

So many, but:

Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness by Aubrey Hodges

Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within by Robert Holmes

Not quite an adventure game soundtrack, but also all of Swan Lake.

Gabriel Knight 2

What a wild game. I want to replay it, but played it too recently. Need time to forget the puzzles.

Wonder if we'll see anything in this vein again. There is Markus Ritter, which seems to be at least inspired by the same German-evil-hunter-descended-from-Ritter-lineage backstory. I'm playing its sequel in the Steam Next Fest, haven't made it very far, and it's definitively an indie/lower budget game, but has a nostalgic and interesting feeling, and is actually a point and click game, unlike some latter-day FMV games that are more like choose-your-own-adventure with dialogue prompts.

Easily Monkey Island. Easily. You can already hear it in your head, can't you?

Almost all of the Sierra games, but most especially King's Quest VI. Space Quest III and IV are definitely close, though.

I even have them all on my Plex server so I can listen to them anytime. Often in the shower. Oh, wait, TMI? Sorry.

I find myself humming the Monkey Island theme fairly often.

you already know, The 7th Guest and 11th Hour lol

The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour were both stuck in my head (and on my phone, my old WinAMP playlist, the MIDI's are still floating around my computer somewhere) for the longest time after I discovered those games in the mid 2000's.
