Any song from Insane Clown Posse for any mood or any situation.

Stich, ICP is an interesting choice.

For a more serious choice, the following band did a heavy metal conceptual album based on GDW's Traveller RPG. It totally kicks ass! Makes me want to run a Traveller game.

It's heavy metal but good heavy metal. (If you think any such music could be considered good, that is.)



Have a listen on Youtube:

Gotta love a song with the lyrics, "Busted in the Sword Worlds with a loaded gauss gun!" - Traders and Gunboats

How can ANYONE go past metal as a sound track! :O

Some of the best of Hollywood soundtracks can make a nice background. It's also not a bad idea to try the varous Call of Duty/Medal of Honor soundtracks. The studios can afford to get some serious talent, especially singers known for doing other types of music.

Lee,

I used to dismiss heavy metal out of hand, but as I get older I find I'm less picky. I even like some disco! (Don't tell anyone.)

The soundtrack for the movie Heavy Metal (1981) is pretty good for background, not heavy at all of course.

Speaking of songs keyed to specific in-game events, I'm playing in a home-brew PBEM (Day of the Dead: Black Horse) and our PCs went on a mounted patrol of Helena MT to pick up a mobile MRI and medical supplies at a hospital. My PC was chewed out for playing "Running with the Devil" by Van Halen on the Humvee's interior sound system because the music might attract the geeks/zeds.

Heavy Metal, at least the first sound track, is one of the best RPG soundtracks out there....

Bob,

I tend to think of "Behind Blue Eyes" as more the theme song for New America. And/or "In God's Country".

Back to the soundtrack for Heavy Metal, reading the comments for the song "All of You" by Don Felder that reference making out during the track, and my wife and I would like to confirm that after much scientific research and double-blind studies it's at least 105% more awesome.

Lee,

Outstanding!

A couple of songs from the 80's sneaked in there, like "Goodnight Saigon" by Billy Joel (1982) and "Radio V-I-E-T-N-A-M: by Bell & Shore (1989).

Aside from his songs, Barry Sadler's other claim to fame was amassing an enormous collection of Nazi and assorted WWII memorabilia. (Although to be clear he was never accused of anti-Semitism or being pro-Nazi personally, to my knowledge.) His son said, "it wasn't until I went to school that I realised the Germans lost the war!"

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, by Sabastian Bach. It was the theme music to the 1975 film Rollerball. Or even a remix of it.
