Nobody's mentioned Total Annihilation yet - that has some amazing compositions, not to mention a great dynamic system so the music would alter depending on what was happening in the game - one of the first times that was done if I'm not mistaken, certainly in an RTS. You could even put in your own CDs and set the tracks to correspond to different events in the game.

The first 2 C&C games have some ace comedy industrial music, but I think the inadvertently comedy (yet also good) game music crown goes to Incubation; it shipped with an extra CD of the game soundtrack plus some bits of techno which vaguely tied into the theme. Brilliant.
