Oooh I have so many anime music loves. I'll try to contain myself.
Aikatsu is one series that has just an amazing OST in my opinion. Not just the fun j-pop songs that the girls sing, either - I don't notice background music normally, but in Aikatsu I do and it's always fitting and really fits the show. And of course, all their idol songs are great too. Calendar Girl is just amazing, and lots of others have made their way onto my playlist too. (Take Me Higher, Wake up my Music, Fashion Check... I could go on.)
In terms of straight OSTs, I'm fond of Madoka and also Death Note, though the former has some bad memories associated with it so I'm giving it a break off for a while. Sis Puella Magica is an amazing track. (I can't find a good youtube link right now, but it's pretty popular so I'm sure most people have heard it already.) A track I do want to show off a little is one from .hack//Legend of the Twilight, which is a series of .... questionable quality (I liked it!) that just had some great OST tracks. Specifically, Jump To The Blue Sky.
And of course, Pokemon. Where would we be without Pokemon? Hoenn music is my favorite of course, because I belong to the cult of Wingulls and trumpets. Slateport has great music, and actually an official vocal version that gives me that weird skin-prickly feeling. It's here, if you haven't heard it before. It's not perfect especially in the vocals, but it's worth a listen. And then in Sinnoh we have the Pokemon League Night theme, which is the best lullaby.
I... could go on, but I'll stop myself here for now, haha....
