    Ca'mon people, don't be shy. Don't be afraid to admit that you listen to Madonna or Britney Spears when playing EB

    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.

    Nah, 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."

    Bad Moon Rising! How could I forget to add that one? On the list it goes, and now I'm in your debt.

    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

    What´s the point of listening to a band like Nightwish if you´re gonna have the volume turned down real low? That´s like happy dancing to Tokio Hotel or breakdancing to Bob Dylan.
    I'm sure you mean "that's like listening to Tokio Hotel". I mean, that's a thing people should never be allowed to do.

    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".

    How exactly do you make the connection between despising music and being a nerd, I'm curious?

    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.

    Well, about 50% of the time I listen to the awesome EB music, and the other 50% I listen to the music on my mobile. Lots of random stuff, but mostly Clash, Cock Sparrer, some swedish punk bands, Stiff Little Fingers and just lots and lots of random stuff.

    Some moments when I´v really felt the music fitted with what was going on at the screen where when:

    Rebel Waltz by The Clash when on of my cities revolted despite my many, many attempts to stop it. Really made me sad, and the music fits with that.

    Anarchy in the UK by Sex Pistols when I just assassinated the last Casse FM making all of Britain rebel. Okay okay, I put that one myself, it wasn´t random, but still.

    Bara Ett Minne (just a memory) by Swedish KSMB when Appius Julius Ceasar died, the second greatest FM ever.

    Cheat by The Clash when I was... cheating!

    Riot Squad by Cock Sparrer when aforementioned city was rioting.

    Some songs that just really fit during battle: Hate & War, Clash City Rockers, Clampdown, City of the Dead, What´s my Name and Drug-Stabbing Time by The Clash, Run For Cover, Running Riot and Where are they Now by Cock Sparrer, Beväpna Er by Ebba Grön, Varför Lever Du? by KSMB etc.
