What music do you listen to while you play?

One of the more frequent discussions that comes up during my WOW guild discussions and conversations between friends on Live is what people listen to while their playing. I'm always interested in finding out what people are listening to because nobody listens to the same stuff i do so i discover a lot of new artists (well in my opinion).

Here are a couple play lists that i use and feel free to comment about them or leave suggestions for different combinations.

*dunno if this will format correctly, copying and pasting from my Wow Guilds forum post since i am too lazy to re-write*


Game : Gears of War
Playlist Title : Gears of War
Apocalypse Please - Muse
Tear Away - Drowning Pool
Here Come(s) The Fuzz - John Spencer & The Elegant Too
Lonely Soul - Unkle
Bye/Die - Pain
The Metal - Tenacious D
The Devil Went Down to Georgia - Point blAnk
Pride - Soil
Push It - Garbage
Escape From Embassy - John Powell
Shake Your Blood (Feat. Lemmy) - Probot
Frantic - Metallica
Bleed It Out - Linkin Park

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game : Halo 3
Playlist Title : MC - The Biomechanical Man
Battle Royale - OGB
Knights of Cydonia - Muse
no More Sorrow - Linkin Park
Biomechanic Man - Lordi
Passive - A Perfect Circle
I'mmortal - Skinny Puppy
Pro-Test - Skinny Puppy
Los - Rammstein
Gunshots by Computer (Saul Williams) - Nine Inch Nails
Powertrip - Monster Magnet
Los (TranS-style Remix) - Rammstein
Stayn Alive - The Sleeping

---------------------------------------------------------------------------


I'm mostly interested in knowing what people listen to while their playing. Music is such a fascinating and diverse medium. What do you guys listen to that gets you pumped and psyched for a Halo Match, or Call of Duty, Team Fortress or whatever.
I'll try and post some more of my play lists, i have a bunch for just about every game i own.

Man, how does everyone like The Metal by Tenacious D. I think it's their worst song...

Clockwork - I think its because of how much fun i had playing it with Guitar Hero 3. I've got both the Pick of Destiny album and the Tenacious D album. just about all of it is great material i just keep getting drawn back to 'The Metal'.

As for linkin park, i like them *shrug*. I'm not a big fan of their earlier work, *crawling in my skin, these wounds will not heal* what kind of fucked up shit is that? but i like their latest album Minutes to Midnight.

I listen to the game music. I like to hear what the developers had in mind as a good soundtrack for the experience.

Rage Against the Machine is my top shooter music. It felt like it belonged in the Gears of War soundtrack. Only because the game itself lowered the music during cutscenes and it just felt right. I do switch music depending on what I'm playing. If I'm playing Forza I'll play something with bass. With Urban (GTA Skating games...etc) games I'll usually play some underground rap and some punk.

I usually don't listen to my own music during the first run of a game. I do it during online gaming most of the time.

Custom soundtracks on every game FTW.

I never actually listen to any music in my games. Dunno why, just don't. I play the game as it was intended.
