What kind of music gives you rhythm for playing games (or any game for that matter)?

[JamesMorrow07]

Man, when I play Megaman Zero 3 or 4, I jam to Guns N' Roses, Rage Against The Machine, and Aerosmith to get my rhythm going--epsecially whenever I can complete each level depending on the times of the songs. I like the fast-paced, run-n'-gun, slash-n'-dash gaming that MMZ offers, and the music seems to come into harmony with that.

Here are some of the specific songs for my game play:

Aerosmith - Draw The Line
Aerosmith - Back In The Saddle
Guns N' Roses - It's So Easy
Guns N' Roses - Nightrain
Guns N' Roses - Welcome To The Jungle
Guns N' Roses - Out Ta Get Me
Guns N' Roses - Anything Goes
Rage Against The Machine - Bulls on Parade
Rage Against The Machine - Revolver
Rage Against The Machine - Vietnow
Rage Against The Machine - Snakecharmer
Rage Against The Machine - Wind Below
Rage Against The Machine - Roll Right
Rage Against The Machine - People of the Sun
Rage Against The Machine - Down Rodeo
Rage Against The Machine - Without A Face
The Offspring - Hammerhead

OH THE GENERIC~

When playing games, I'l actually listen to the game music; with the exception of MMOs and other PC games, where I'll usually have music going to avoid haring the same track loop too many times.

It's mostly VG music, as they're actually designed for setting a mood and atmosphere. I ended up making a pretty nice 48-track playlist for summer gaming. I'm quite proud of it, actually. ^^

I don't really listen to anything specific, I pretty much just listen to whatever's playing on my mp3 at the moment

but I do find that if I'm playing a game while listening to music, my performance inthe game is a bit enhanced compared to me listening to the in game music

[Phantom K]

I listen to the ingame music. And if the music is really annoying or hiccups whenever it loops or just loops too much I turn the volume off. Not really a music person.

[A Hacked Soul]

Head Strong and Sugar were going down swinging= Halo3 and COD4

Yep thats all I listen to for games.

[you can call me 7ILBY]

I only listen to music that isn't that of the games whilst playing Quake II, in that case it's generally Aborted, Lamb of God and playlist of the OST (minus boring tracks) - from a lovely band called Sonic Mayhem

Hells yeah! Sonic Mayhem is awesome!

[Bear Saxaphone]

I usually listen to ingame music. Especially with games like Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess with amazing music.

I also like to listen to the game music of animal crossing because its relaxing.

ANIMOSITY

[DarkZero]

Punk or alternative. I usually listen to MxPx when I'm playing Dave Mirra 2.

[Chdonga]

If its not a sports game I listen to something like
Chocolate Rain-Tay Zonday
Never Gonna Give You Up (I know, I'm crazy!)-Rick Astley
Any song from SSBB
Crank Dat Soulja Boy(The good one though)-Soulja Boy
And a few others but I forgot the names of them

If it is a sports game I listen to whatever background music they play.

this is probably the lamest thing in this topic

[PrettyNier]

The in-game music. I'm not gonna fuck that shit up~

Though once I got bored and played Castlevania while listening to Nightwish and I'm sure I've gotten bored and done similar with different artists/games before but I don't recall.

[yoursavior]

Mostly the in-game music, but if I'm doing something repetitive or boring, I'll put on some Blue Öyster Cult or Judas Priest.
