Do you ever just sit back and listen to music from Street Fighter or Metal Gear Solid just to listen to it?

About 15% of the music in my library of 6,000+ songs is video game music, so I love it quite a bit.

not so much these days. but back in High School I was in a drawing class where we could put our music on for everyone. I decided torture via Ocarina of Time soundtrack would be funny (turns out they liked it though, so joke was on me).

Sometimes. I used to listen to game music a lot more, but most of the games I play now have real bands. Guitar Hero, GTA, Tony Hawk, that sort of thing.

But it's been a few years since I've played my favorite game ever, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (don't judge me), and I still listen to the music all the time.

I also like the Sims 2 soundtrack (and all of it's expansions), and Banjo Kazooie. Ahh, BK... I think BK had the best game soundtrack ever. I still play those tracks on the piano all the time.

I don't listen to game-specific music, but a lot of music in my catalogue by popular (or downloadable, I should say) artists.

Yes, as a matter of fact I got almost as much VGM as "normal music" in my collection.

This topic has inspired me to go out start downloading Metroid Metal songs :P And the BK soundtrack, and download some midis, to learn for the piano.

All the while, I'm wondering how I'm gonna fit all the new music on my already full MP3 player.

From MGS or street fighter? No. From other games? Yes. Many games have soundtracks and use songs by well known artists these days. Even some old games had great music. I think the 8bit mega man themes and simons quests music was fantastic.

And I'm listening to a song from Kingdom Hearts 2 right now, so yes.

I often listen to old zelda tracks and orchestral scores from elder scrolls series. High quality music is high quality, no matter the source or inspiration. Plus, the particularly moving tunes usually bring back good memories of when I was younger and first played Ocarina of Time, WindWaker, etc. Good times.

Mainly only the Silent Hill OST's. I've listened to a few game soundtracks out of the novelty of it, but most of it is not music I appreciate as much out of context like that. Silent Hill's music is a completely different story though. Such a shame too, now Akira Yamaoka, the brilliant composer behind those OST's has left Konami. Silent Hill is pretty well doomed.

Particular tracks sometimes capture my attention, but I don't think I've ever sat down to listen to an entire soundtrack.

Nah. I used to back when I was a younger, less cultured and boring individual. (Not saying this music is for boring people.) I just didn't know what to listen to.

I gotta say, a massive wave of nostalgia hit me after listening to that song :).

I don't really listen to the songs by themselves, but I learn to play them on piano. Usually from the 32/64 bit era, Donkey Kong Country 2 being my favourite games to learn from.

I cant bring myself to listen to music just to listen to it unless I am generating it on the computer then I listen to it to see if something is wrong with it but other than that I find it extremely difficult to listen to music just to listen to it.

Yes I do.

Some videogame music imo is just great.

I usually listen to Warrior Within Soundtrack, Crash Bandicoot games' music, Rayman 2 music and Spyro the Dragon music.
