I like stuff like DanielTDS posted or The Bard's Song from the OP.

Most any version of this.
Also The Blood of Cu Chulain

There is NOTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE BETTER TO LISTEN TO than https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8ymgFyzbDo&index=7&list=PL1BCA115F0C7057E1 when reclaiming a fortress. No Questions.

When I'm generating a new world, I usually play the Game of Thrones opening. The mental image of sites like dwarf fortresses and elven forest retreats unfolding like the clockwork fortresses in the opening sequence is pretty cool.

For evil biomes, I listen to this theme from Pikmin 3, since it gets the whole "this place is not a good place to be in" feeling.

And when winter comes, or when a siege has killed off a lot of dwarves, I listen to "Goodbye Brother" from the Game of Thrones OST.

Other than that, I mostly use Soundsense, though there are some tracks that I play more often than others.

I have a playlist of music I extracted from Portal 2, Half-Life 2 (and both episodes), Left 4 Dead 2, and Team Fortress 2. I have that playing on shuffle usually.

One thing someone could do is to create a program that play a order 1 markov chain version of the dwarf fortress song. So you would sort of have the original song and also have various songs.

Newer orchestral RuneScape songs (I know, I know), audiomachine, John Dreamer, Two Steps, and sometimes I just wanna calm down by listening to "Cheeseburger in Paradise" by Jimmy Buffet. Yeah...

When a siege is underway, this song always gets me in the zone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tnVulkRFGE

I'll post more when I think of others.

Everything I have.  Lately, been listening to my whole collection, in alphabetical order.  Yesterday it was Slayer; today it's Sonic Youth.

I'd prefer to hear the unique screams of pain from my prisoners as they are killed in interesting ways but that's not happening so I play mostly without music.

For adventure mode I have a lot of Blind Guardian, Iron Savior, Gamma Ray, other fantasy/sci-fi themed metal bands with two-word names.

For fort mode, it's the Command and Conquer soundtrack, more of the above, Your Favorite Martian, the music from the Lord of the Rings musical, or whatever best fits the situation.

I sing a bit of '99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall' when I'm building a lot of stills at once.
