So about that money...
I'm one of those silly types that usses mp3s. And I've done 2 games so far and I'm working on a third. some bands I've found go really good with a game are...

Manowar
Blind Guardian
Nightwish
Switchblade Symphony
Siouxie and the Banshees
Dio
Iron Maiden
Ozzy (Yeah he's just one guy and not really a band, but...)
London After Midnight

So I'm asking every one who prefers Mp3 audio over Midi what they like putting in their games. I just thought this would be neat.

I use mainly instrumentals, with the exception of one or two lyric-filled song. Mind you, finding a song with lyrics that'll work in a fantasy setting isn't as easy with a playlist full of metal and industrial. :P

A post - apoclyptic setting is good for metaland industrial. Now blind gurdian is a metal band that goes with a fantasy setting. lFor eaxple Havrest of Sorrow, Beyond the relas of death, mordreds song and the bards song -in the forest are good.

Cradle of Filth
Megadeth

Are pretty good for Boss battles.
And some ripped songs from certain FF games also work for sad parts...
Suteki Da Ne, 1000 Words, Aeriths Theme

Well for shooting game I like listening to Soilwork and NIN, thats awesome pump up music :^^:

For an rpg though, I'd have to say a perfect circle, ecspecially if its no lyrics in it, that would be good background music  :^^:

More heavy metal bands with lyrics that will work. You just have to know the right bands before you can make that statement.

No problem. This topic is turning out pretty neat.

Another band for a gothic setting could be Lacramossa. I don't remeber if I spelled it right.

I find much of Apocalyptica's twenty-something albums usually have something worthwhile to use in a game. True, most of their songs are Metallica covers using Cellos, but damn is it ever good. :P

I've used Moon sheild by In Flames. i'm not into them much so I think that's the only time tehy'll be in one of my games. I'm not saying they're bad, I think they're very good. It's just I haven't really gotten into them.

I acually don't think they do much of "game" music.
But Jester's did fit to my title though.

I just remembered. Gregorian monks. Stuff from 'The Masters of The Chant' albums. They do a bunch of covers. So if some one wants music thats melancholy and mideivil Gregorian Monks are something to consider. Before The dawn is a song I definately suggest.

I don't beleive that I fogot about the monks. >.<
