« on: May 03, 2014, 08:18:07 am »

I like to listen to fantasy/medieval rock and metal, like blind guardian.

I use soundsense, but turn off the music. I still have the messages play.

The default DF music (love me some classical acoustic guitar), or Diablo Swing Orchestra.

A variety of songs from Two Steps from Hell. Defenders of the Earth is one of my personal favorites.

Beethoven. I find the soothing piano and orchestra go well with murder.

I'm new to succession forts in general, yes, but do all forts designed by multiple overseers inevitably degenerate into a body-filled labyrinth of chaos and despair like this? Or is this just a Battlefailed thing?

There isn't much middle ground between killed-by-dragon and never-seen-by-dragon.

This best fits my overseer style.  :P

...Actually, I listen to a variety of generic fantasy music.

The Lord Of The RIngs and Hobbit soundtracks work well. Misty Mountains Cold (or whatever-the-hell the main Hobbit theme is) is especially suitable.

-1 point for originality ;_;

Scrubs theme song?

Mulan's I'll Make a Dorf out of You
Lion King's Just Can't Wait to be Noble
Princess and the Frog "Friends on the Other Side"
Swan Princess "This is my idea (of fun)" (Just, please, I'm begging you, don't watch the sequels. First one rules, though.
Swan Princess "Practice, Practice, Practice...."
For invasions, Beauty and the Dorf's "Be Our Guest," Gaston Cacame's song (if you have a really kickass dorf or two), and, of course, The Mob Tantrum Song
All Dorfs go to Heaven "Can't keep a good Dorf Down"
Maybe Princess and the Frog's "When I'm Dwarven"
or Weird McYankovic's "Like a Goblin"
Lady Urist's "Migrated This Way"
The AristoCats "Everybody wants to be a Cat (Because a cat's the only cat that knows how to 'splode)"
Star Trek Enterprise's "Through a Mirror Darkly" theme
All Dogs go to Heaven "Let me be Surprised"
Pocahantas "Just around the River Bend (lies the mass-grave-and-battlefield-to-be)"
"I Threw it on the Ground" (The Tantrum Song)
"Why is the Rum Gone?" (The Tantrum Spiral song)
"Life Returns (Again and again and again and again.....)"

Lion King "Hakuna Matata"
Lion King "Be Prepared" (Embark Preparation Theme Song)
Snowman Hank Embrace your Fellow Man with menacing spikes of !!fun!!!!!
Dorfs just want to have !!fun!!
Living on a Prayer "Please, Armok! Let us live!"
It's my unLife so bury my damn body you assholes
Princess and the Frog's "Dig a Little Deeper" (Russian version because God DAMN that voice is awesome!
Killer of the Queen
And if I'm going to have that one, I've got to put "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "We're not the Champions" by Queen too.
!!LOVE!! hurts
Dorfs just want to have fun

And, of course, Bad Day

And, of course, the Barney song when you are either giving or receiving *fun* to or from invaders.

Quote from: smurfingtonthethird
there is nothing funnier than watching a goblin army get assaulted by hundreds of war chickens.

Any new discovery, sufficiently weaponize, is indistinguishable from !!FUN!!

In the last thread of this type someone posted a song by a band called creature feature that's the most quintessentially dwarven song you could imagine:

Beyond that, I don't really have set music for DF. Though I'm thinking of making an "evil song" playlist for a masterwork fortress. :P
