The original music fits it best for me. The only other song I can really tie to Dwarf Fortress is Goblin's Dance by ensiferum, for obvious reasons.

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

Yet another excellent fantasy themed track:
Basil Poledouris - Theology / Civilization

Just imagine as your adventurer is getting close to a capital..and this soundtrack kicks in... 8)

Top of my playlist for DF will always be....
Wagner's Siegfried funeral march From the Götterdämmerung.... and with a name like that it must be DF.

It builds up slowly, then when the tempo hits.. you want to grab your axe, bite the dog, and kick your neighbor.

Gamma Goblins = Awesome.

I always liked a track from Final Fantasy III / 6j called Devil's Lab, and think it's very appropriate for the game. It's dark sounding, using an anvil & hammer as well as the sound of machinery for the bass. Parts of it suggest a little too high of a technology level, but the strings in the background fit perfectly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMK-y8w6YhA

Battlelore - Raging Goblin

Not sure if it really screams DF but it does have the word "Goblin" in the title so it can't be THAT off.  ;D

I like apocilyptica (most likely spelled wrong)

May as well throw Around the World by Daft Punk into the mix.  It never gets old.  This is a good thing since you're going to be listening to it the whole time you're playing DF.  :P

In the Hall of the Mountain King from the Peer Gynt suite. In fact, a lot of Romantic music works well for DF.
This.

For your average everyday operation of DF: You must require

1. Dwarves. This ingredient is ESSENTIAL, and must be had in HUGE quantities.
2. For the peaceful hauling, and crafting:http://www.goear.com/listen.php?v=9ce4f53, a Puttin' on the ritz version by They Might Be Giants
3. For the mad goblin charge into your traps? : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Sam5omG0v0 Aces High, Iron Maiden

And thus did the dream of dwarven antigravity fade away, not with a massive explosion or a flood of magma, but with a whimper.

I'm going to be depressed all day now.

For pre-economy, when the dwarves labor gloriously for the communist motherland:

That version is by Taco, a synthpop band from the 80's, not They Might Be Giants.

I quite fond of listening to Alestorm whilst playing DF. I know its Scottish Pirate Metal but for some reason it still personifies the rough and tough nature of dwarfs.

Are nice examples.
