Gradius? I played 1,2 on NES. I think Gradius II music on NES was so awesome that I just listened it without playing game

As much as I love TGL, I'd say Gradius II was the pinnacle of shooters for the NES and one of the most complete games made for the platform. The graphics, especially the animations and enormous bosses, are ridiculously good. The soundtrack is easily among the best on the NES. The game also contains a wide assortment of colorful and detailed themed levels that contain distinct well balanced challenges to adapt to and keep the player on edge; although it's a long game it is not boring or redundant. The game is a completely epic follow up from the original, and is an impressive technical feat.

Gradius III is also a really solid follow up in the series.

Gradius and Salamander are related in terms of story/characters, but continuities are separate
