Loving this game oh so very much, but I was wondering what kinda music you people listen to while playing - if any at all. I know for me personally, I try to stay in that “Suicidal Robot Jazz” area (it fits the feel of the game very well) and listen to 40’s swing or swing revival, maybe some Ska thrown in as well. Then again there is nothing like swinging around arena to the sounds of metal!

EDIT: Choose other for Electronic music, it slipped my mind when making the poll and I don’t think I can edit it

it’s all about Boston’s ‘more than a feeling’

Steely Dan my friends! Anything before their Gaucho album.

You only missed out the largest group of musical genres in your very limited options :p

Maybe you should add:

Gabba
Industrial
Happy Hardcore
Vocal Trance
Disco House
Dubstep
Drum ‘n’ Bass
Hardstyle
Trance
Breaks
Goa-Psy
Hard House
Chillout

to name a few

For me though, any of the above (including the original options), depending on my mood that is!

Sorry, I was thinking off adding Electronic music when I made the list and it must have slipped my mind! I’ll add it OH, and yeah some electronic stuff would be awesome. All I think of is Sandstorm, too much DDR

Other i havent listened to any music when playing yet…..although a bit of pendulum wouldnt be so bad

Techno and metal, generally.

Danceish music mostly. Good beat = win :D

I usually listen to podcasts. Electronic music is my first choice.

Electronic, Rock, Power-pop, Chip-tune and Drum n’ Bass! “BOOM DOODAH UNTZ OONTZ CHIKA-CHIKA.” are the sounds I like most in a song :D

Haven’t gotten to play yet, but WHEN I DO:
Dance/Trance
House
Techno/Electro (Can anyone say Justice?)
And I agree with deffecKo, Steely Dan would be a nice choice (A Decade of Steely Dan being my personal preference).

Awesome poll man! Here comes my tatste:

I listen to electo-industrial, cyber-punk, electronica, trip-hop, big-beat.

Examples:
The Chemical Brothers
The Prodigy
The Crystal Method
Combichrist
Anglespit
VNV Nation
Gorillaz
Caribou
mind.in.a.box
Mindless Self Indulgence
Velvet Acid Christ
and many more…

@Psilocybic Jesus, drop some band names for me to check out. Anything like “Suicidal Robot Jazz” style electronic music?

Have you ever heard Points of Authority by Linkin Park? it’s pure awesome like the rest of the album.

Hybrid Theory and Meteora were sooo good. What happened to them? They kind of suck nowadays… Granted, I’m not as misanthropic as I was in high school, so Linkin Park doesn’t really “speak to me” anymore. You can only listen to “CRAAAAWLING IN MY SKEEEEEN” for so long, you know?

So far I’ve listened to some NIN which I guess would be classed as industrial. It worked pretty well.

The deaths and explosions of all the other robots is all I’ll ever need.
