    I think that the "Whole World" by Outkast would be great for right after you whooped the boss's anal region. Cause the whole world loves it when you don't get down.

    Definitely "Stairway to Heaven." That's my BG2 song :p .

    "The Bard's Song" by Blind Guardian would also be a decent song, especially if you happen to be a bard...

    hmmmm, here is a theme song for fallen paladins.... No more Mr. Nice Guy..... Or how about Paradise by the Dashboard Light for a game being played with a male and female bard?
    .....
    I couldnt take it any longer lord I was crazed! When the feelin came upon me like a tidle wave! Started swearing to my god and on my mothers grave that I would love you till the end of time! I swore I would love you to the end of time!
    .....
    So now I'm prayin for the end of time! To hurry up and arrive, cause if I got to spend another minute with you I dont think that I can really survive, I'll never break my promise or forget my vowsm but god only knows what I can do right now! I'm prayin for the end of time thats all that I can do! Prayin for the end of time so I can end my time with you!
    ......

    [​IMG] "Oh Fortuna" by Carl Orff!!! It's classical, but when you hear it you know big, eipc-type things are about to happen!!!

    Wagner's "The Ring Saga" Sorry, I forget the German name: Die Niebelung or something like that...I apologize in advance for any offense to the German people! I speak English (okay American, :p ) and Russian...

    Maybe the soundtrack to "The Matrix" we played that in karate class during sparring matches...It gets the adrenaline pumping!!!

    Just a few thoughts!

    [I believe you mean Der Ring des Nibelungen which is in four parts: Das Rheingold, Die Walkure, Siegfried and Gotterdammerung - BTA]

    [​IMG] Bel, there is an adventure game loosely based on Der Ring des Nibelungen, complete with the music and all. It was made by Arxel Tribe, which actually started in Slovenia. Check it out: http://www.arxeltribe.com/ring/

    just sing this to them

    RING THEIR BELLS (aka "The Munchkin's Theme" ) (to the tune of "Jingle Bells")
    Slashing through the Orcs
    With a good two-handed blade
    Over corpses we go
    And through the gore we wade
    Mace on helmet rings
    Making bodies fly
    What fun to sing our Slaying Song
    And watch these suckers DIE!

    (chorus) Oh, ring their bells
    with swords and spells
    Don't let 'em get away!
    We're brave and bold for fame and gold
    We'll make a lot today!
    Oh, ring their bells with swords and spells
    Don't let 'em get away!
    We'll hack and slash and blast and trash
    And blow these dudes away!
    Crashing through the door
    Into the Dragon's nose
    Our mage whips out a Cone of Cold
    And out his fire goes!
    Elven bowstrings sing
    Making Balrogs fall And our theif
    finds a secret door
    Into the treasure hall!

    (chorus)

    Then appears the Lich
    With his demon guard
    Our wizard yawns and wishes
    We'd run into something hard.
    He begins to cast
    His 19th level spell
    The damn lich throws a Gate at us
    And drops us all in Hell!

    (chorus)

    We appear in Hell
    In front of Satan's throne
    Our Cleric waves us out the door
    And takes him on alone!
    Satan's legions don't
    Want to let us go
    Our Techno pulls a bazooka out
    And NUKES 'em 'till they GLOW!

    Oh, ring their bells with
    Prayers and Spells
    Don't let 'em get away!
    We're brave and bold and CRAZED, we're told
    To think we'll live the day!
    Oh, ring their bells with swords and SHELLS
    Don't let 'em get away!
    We'll hack and slash and blast and trash
    And drag our loot away!

    [​IMG] *Uhm*. Who forgot this hymn to cooked up mages?

    Rastor it is a Windows Media player link. Perhaps that is why, if you haven't installed Windows Media Player. Sorry. :(


    here ís the realplayer version.

    Nobleman, clicking on that link caused my comp to lock up. Took me ten minutes to get the darned thing to reboot.

    Anyway, most Meatloaf songs would be pretty good for RPGs.

    I don't think I've heard any of those songs. but a good boss song would be 'Using Rock' I can't remember who it's by, it's a local bacnd I know that though.

    I'm happy though :roll: I found out that you can play CDs' and the Rage of Mages demo at the same time - Playing Starlight as you buy a few books and a two-handed axe :lol:

    My game playing happens when the wife and kid are asleep, so my favorite song is "MUTE".

    Any sound and the baby cries and I have to shut down.

    Sir Bel, that song by Carl Orff wouldn't also be known as "Carmena Burana" would it?

    I think Teen Spirit by Nirvana would be good. I picked Stairway to Heaven for your poll though.
