What music do you listen to when playing?
What music do you prefer when playing EB? What kind? What gives you the rush when commanding huge armies in the battlefield?
Don't get me wrong, I like allot listening to EB music, but Hard Rock/Metal just gives me so much more motivation when playing...

Well, I usually listen to the EB stuff, but when playing Medieval 2 (especially when playing Arab factions), I'm listening to the German medieval band "Faun".

Re: What music do you listen to when playing?
Ive never listened to the EB music (no offence! sure its great) But i've always listened to my own music on every game that I play, having itunes opened in the background.
Depends what mood im in, but usually, dub, dubstep, reggae, darkstep dnb or breakcore, or something of the sort.
I doubt i'd play for as long as I do if i listened to the EB music though, the time it takes to end turns of my game I need a distraction!
Re: What music do you listen to when playing?
Ca'mon people, don't be shy. Don't be afraid to admit that you listen to Madonna or Britney Spears when playing EB
Yours truly, Raiuga
Re: What music do you listen to when playing?
Just about anything by ES Posthumus works well for EB. I also like going with power metal: Blind Guardian, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Hammerfall, Falconer, Dragonforce, and Rhapsody are my favorites.

Yours truly, RaiugaNah, only the holy trinity for me... Creedence, Skynyrd and the BTO. Or whatever I feel like listening to, but usually those three or a collection of 60's soul-funk I have called "What it Is!" Seriously, there's nothing better than seeing a routing army while listening to "Bad Moon Rising."
You are not human.
Re: What music do you listen to when playing?
Bad Moon Rising! How could I forget to add that one? On the list it goes, and now I'm in your debt.
Re: What music do you listen to when playing?
Nought but whatever's on there. I don't have a separate music player in the room with the computer, and I have as little as possible running at the same time as the game.
It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR

Conan the Barbarian soundtrack for me. It's soooo great when Pyrrhus charge those athenians boylovers crying "CROOOOOM!!!"

Re: What music do you listen to when playing?
I really, really like the EB music and usually listen to that. As far as soundtracks go, it is probably the best game soundtrack ever. Fits perfectly for me. But, I like a little variety and if I'm playing EB for 3 hours straight (a very, very rare occurrence with my schedule lately) then I do usually put on some of my own tunes. Sometimes I like a nice little "clash montage" thing going on in which case I'll listen to something like rag-time during the battles; real men listen to Scott Joplin while bathing in the blood of their foes. Opera and Musicals are favorites of mine as well, Carmen, Don Giovanni, Marriage of Figaro, Madame Butterfly, West Side Story, and silly ones like Camelot, How to Succeed in Business w/o really trying, Gigi. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I also feel like some good old Led Zepp, CCR, Beatles, Doors, Kinks, Bowie, Floyd, Pixies, Queen, or Reed, Beefheart, Waits, Dre, Schooly D, Special Ed, Wu-Tang, or Shakur, et. al.. Classical is nice too sometimes, piano concertos, sonatas, waltz's and string quartets always seem to fit EB well. Nothing like slaughtering fools to Strauss' Blue Danube let me tell you. Sorry, never been a fan of Metal, Punk or their ilk, but who knows what the future holds, I may yet develop a taste. Jazz never seemed to go well, it is to complex too allow me to pay attention; Coltrane is great except when he is blowing his nose in F# in my ear while I'm trying to organize a flanking maneuver, couple that with Monk going God-knows where in some crazy ass piano comping and you have a recipe for disaster. Sometimes more chill stuff like Garland, Garner, or early Hancock is ok though.

Laibach works well when I'm playing as the Romans. Otherwise, Mayhem/The Stone/Belenos/Burzum as the "barbarians".

Yes, I'm not, I'm really a sentient Cray-5 supercomputer. Just kidding, I'm just a really, really big nerd.

Re: What music do you listen to when playing?
How exactly do you make the connection between despising music and being a nerd, I'm curious?

Re: What music do you listen to when playing?
Well, nerds tend to dislike most of the things that go on in the "popular" culture. However, I am unusual in the fact that I dislike music, even among fellow nerds, for many enlightened minds argue and have argued that music is necessary for a human soul. I am a bit partial (in the sense that I do not abhor it and can actually stand it) to instrumental classical music, such as symphonies and piano concerts. Nevertheless, that does not mean that I actually listen to it.

The music I listen to can be anything, depends on my mood. Gregorian chants, drowning pool, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Enya, Conan, dune, bladerunner soundtracks, Nightwish, Lacuna Coil. Tarja Turunen, Epica, Xandria, (Symphonic metal) and many more. I have just discovered Faun; the music works for me, check it out.
