Hello there!
So yeah, its just a random post that I thought of whilst listening to music whilst gaming.
For example, I need something calm like "The audition" or "Panic at the disco" whilst playing an RPG,
a dance track for FPS, or rock for gears of war...
So what I'm asking is... is there a certain band/song/genre that you listen to whilst you play acertain game/genre,
can you concentrate with music on whilst gaming? Do you get distracted from the game if listening to music, or block out the music because you're playing the game? Or can't concentrate if a certain band is playing when you're playing a game you wouldn't listen to it when playing that game... (Like, for me, rock whilst playing an RTS)

Sorry for the large amount fo questions! But it's just pretty cool to know haha!
Thanks very much =D

For online FPS rock/metal of all sorts, preferably something aggressive like Pantera's Cowboys From Hell.

For Strategy some fitting no-lyrics background noise, like Frank Klepacki's Hell March.

Almost anything that isn't composed by a bunch of whiny screamo metro scene kids (which is odd, considering most people tend to think I look like one...). So black, death, thrash, melodeath, hardcore (old stuff, like the Madball days, haha), rock, prog (usually any form), hiphop, classical, anything by Patton, etc.

The in-game music... designed for the games.

Same here but if I beat the game or hate the original in-game soundtrack or if the game has licensed music I listen to music I like.

Agreed, anything other then ingame music just ruins the feel of the game for me, unless its a racing game like Motorstorm.
