A bit of a random question this. So the tinkly classical guitar in DF is lovely and all, but does anyone out there play it with different music in the background? I know of some guys who do this for the Doom roguelike. What works? classical? ambient rock? Surely there's a joy in gobbo bashing while listening to power metal.

[Ottofar]

Hotel California(Eagles), Stairway To Heaven(Led Zeppelin)and Free Bird (Lynyrd Skynyrd), for example, are in most of my playlists. Adventure mode is more metallic.

For sieges, I usually tend to play some Ensiferum. That band just has so many good tracks with just right theme for being siege music, such as Victory Song, Blood is the price of glory or Into The Battle.

While slaughtering seeing nobles having terrible accidents, I usually play Tarot's track Traitor.

Otherwise, just general rock or metal music that happens to be next in my randomized playing list.

[Calhoun]

Louis Armstrong.

Music of choice is Trance or Power Metal. Ambient or Dwarfy music.

[Tallim]

The soundtrack to Shadow of the Colossus has always served me well. Especially if the more epic battle songs start up during a fight.

[bmaczero]

I've been playing Cliffs of Dover a lot lately, but that doesn't really have anything to do with DF.

A collection of music I think sounds epic. It's added after I wander upon it.

[Naz]

I usually throw on the player for Fusion Radio Chicago and have my Dwarves rave while they dig, bagpipes or a banjo work too.

You don't listen to music when playing DF. You listen to the recorded sounds of roadworks in progress, wedding guests singing in drunken stupor, and street riots.

Isn't that the same to dwarven ears?

I generally listen to classical music. I have a project in mind where I'd make a DF music video for Grieg's In the Halls of the Mountain King. It would start slowly, with dwarves doing their everyday work, and end up with a sped-up footage of bloody battles with goblins, magma megaproject and cave collapses and such.

[Potter]

Do it! Do it nao! I can see In the Hall of the Mountain King becoming the unnoficial Dwarvan anthem (that or the whole building works thing).

[Blackburn]

I turn on the radio to the classic rock station.

If there was a jazz station, I'd listen to that too.
