Appropriate Music For Different Games

[AnarchistFish]

I know quite a few "do you listen to music whilst gaming?" threads have been made before but this is specifically to ask what the best music to listen to to certain games is. I don't particularly listen to music whilst gaming much because it distracts from sound effects, dialogue etc, but some albums, I find, fit perfectly with some games.

For me, White Pony by Deftones works well with Mass Effect (it's heavy but it has a quirky ambient and sci-fi sounding edge that I love) and F# A# ∞ by GY!BE seems like it was practically made for Fallout 3, for obvious reasons.

I listen to Prog Rock while playing Oblivion. My favourites are Rush and Pink Floyd. The super long space-y songs just fit perfectly with exploring a virtual fantasy world. At least, in my opinion. Led Zeppelin is cool for Rpgs, too.

In the rare occasion that I play Call of Duty or Halo, I will listen to Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Iron Maiden etc. Need faster music for shooting games.
