A load of Amiga games I could mention - Shadow of The Beast, Shadow Of The Beast 2, The Killing Gameshow, Turrican 2, Blood Money - mostly Psygnosis. They were known for it at that point.

starfield's soundtrack is absolutely jaw dropping, probably zur's best work yet
This is tricky because I always find thst the best art, no matter the funding or size of a team behind it, is paired with great music. I'll try and get one for each category though.
(Spoiler tags are just to condense the comment)
Movies:
spoiler
- Star Wars Sequels like SOLO and The Force Awakens (Rey's theme + the third trailer's medley.)
- Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), might not count as mediocre but i found it hard to follow. The music is done by this brilliant composer Wojciech Kilar who also composed for the perfect and very memorable film, Le roi et Le Oiseau
- Probably another controversial suggestion - Pirates of the Caribbean
Games:
spoiler
- Sims 4. Its soundtrack is so incredible but the game is just not entertaining to me. Also see: The Sims Medieval and Spore (nice job, EA...)
Shows:
- il Medici a Netflix original
Shatter. Got the OST alongisde the game from one of the early Humble Indie Bundles, spent far more time listening to that OST than playing it.
Willow for the NES has some songs that will still randomly take over the ol' jukebox of the brain to this day.
Not a mediocre game but the opening track of Civilization IV, The Lord's Prayer, is magnificent. It won a Grammy.
It won a Grammy.
IIRC it was the first song from a video game to do so.

To Live and Die in LA soundtrack by Wang Chung is arguably better than the movie.

Pretty obscure, but a 1994 PC game based on the Lawnmower Man movie called Cyberwar. Came with the OST on CDROM. It was my jam in middle school.
Sonny 2017, the game wasn't as good as the two flash games but the OST was just as good (granted, it was just remixes of music from the flash games).
I personally love Killer7, but I won't pretend that most people would enjoy it. However the soundtrack is great.
someone said E33 so I'm pretty sure I won't get crucified for this: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
Turok 2 for GBC. Mediocre game, but man, the OST is a banger.
