This right here. It is why Mario/Zelda/Tetris all have music that people love and can easily recognize.
A lot of music today is more along your generic electric guitar rock music which with distortion on the guitar makes it hard for someone to hum or get stuck in their head. I wouldn't say it is bad music, but rather it is easily forgetable. If they added some words or a stongly pronounced catchy and repetative melody line people would be more likely to remember them and think they were great.
