So here's the challenge, post either:

1) Music from a game that you love

or

2) Music that you've played a game you love to.

The caveat: Explain if you choose the second.

I.e:

1) Portal 2: Exile Villify, by the National:



2) Rid of Me, PJ Harvey



Why? I was playing through Half Life on the PC and forgot that I had Polly Harvey's album in my cd drive at the time. This queued up exactly at the moment that I got dumped in to the waste disposal. Perfect revenge music.

The curse of the sad mummy(LoL):




Theme song GTA Liberty city stories:

Your second statement almost gave me an embolism.

I was at a friend's house a couple of weeks ago, he was showing me ff15. I was digging the theme song.

Somnus (Instrumental Version)

For part two, i used to play the shit outta ...And Justice for All and Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak when i was playing Oblivion, especially the Shivering Isles expansion.

Emerald is a pretty fucking epic song to kill monsters to.

-TG

It was dead on, TG, down to getting the weapons. If anyone here hasn't played through Half Life, you wouldn't get it.

Anyway:

2) I played much of Perfect Dark to Nirvana's Nevermind:



Why- I was a sad latecomer to Nirvana, I was into my books, not my music. Actual convo from the time-

Sym: You should listen to Nirvana, Nevermind is a great album.
Friend: That came out 3 years ago, we know.

1) Shadow of the colossus:

Also, this:

Red Dead Redemption, Dead Man's Gun- Ashtar Command:

Lesser known game but getting more attention are the Shantae games, which have BOMB soundtracks:



Games with music like that are why I generally don't listen non-OST tracks while I play games, but I've intrinsically linked Mass Effect 3's multiplayer and the Foo Fighters:

The foo fighters are rarely a bad choice.

So I like aggressive music. I like to listen to things that hype me up. It doesn't matter what I play as long as it's aggressive but here's my mix.

This song is music for gamers.

I think I'm getting old, I didn't understand more than 1 word in 10 of that.

But, I'm not one to judge:

The lyrics are in the description if you watch it on youtube. The song is over 10 years old. A lot of his lyrics mention games.

I like his stuff- Fett's Vette is great, just couldn't make much sense of that one.

Peggy Lee was great. Did New Vegas also have Get Me Some Money Too?

-TG

yes, actually - in one of the DLC's...

think it's in "old world blues", can't remember exactly.

It's in the original game, but you might have had trouble finding it under that name:

it's in a DLC, sym...not in the "original" game.

It's in both:

wow - apparently, you're right.

Another weird correlation I blame on video games corrupting my psyche at a young age, I think my enjoyment for Phil Collins stems from my enjoyment of Donkey Kong.

You be the judge:





And as a bonus, the best song from this trilogy:



And while we're talking about old timey songs in video games, one must always have Bioshock (it's a cover, too! It can go in the other thread!):

Shadow of the Colossus is one of my favourite games, and the intro sequence music is great:
