Did you ever listen to something when a wild association/connotation (using dictionaries sucks ;_;) appearedd: Dayum man, that sounds extacly like I imagine DF soundtrack to be?
Well, I did.

I would like to know what type of music fits DF in your opinion. Post it here!

I think "Movin'", from the Final Fantasy VIII soundtrack is very dwarfy. It was brought to my attention by this site.

In the Hall of the Mountain King much more so than that, but that one's a little too obvious.

I always thought Tom Waits captured the feeling of Dwarf Fortress pretty well.  They both trace their roots to idyllic fantasy but are about the harsh reality of overworked, hard-drinking miners living in squalid rooms slathered in blood and vomit waiting for the inevitable day they're maimed or killed in a horrifying industrial accident caused my the negligence of their uncaring overlord.

Anything from the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack because we're all supernerds. Specifically...

I'd say the only one you could really accurately call an unofficial official theme is the Tankard Basher.

Thanks for that, I hadn't heard the one with singing, it brings it to a whole new level.

No Heroes of Might and Magic 3.5: WoG menu theme?
BLASPHEMY!

But yeah, Tankard Basher is as unofficially official as it can get.

Dwarf Fortress already has a theme song. You know, that guitar music.

Is being wilfully perverse a fulfilling passtime?

Also bonus points for being written directly for DF.
