I doubt many of you actually keep the ingame music file active. I found a way to disable it after my first half hour of play.  

My idea for this thread came as I was listening to Pandora, which spawned a song called "Covenant -- Winter Comes". The beat and lyrics reminded me instantly of Dwarf Fortress, and ever since it has been added to my collection.  

Anyone else?

[Arcanum]

In the Hall of the Mountain King.  The ultimate delving music.  

[Captain_Action]

My selections:

Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction
Led Zepplin - Battle of Evermore
Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath
Beatles - Nowhere Man

When I have a Tantruming Dwarf or when the civil war bug was in effect.

Dope - Die MotherF***er Die
Drowning Pool - Bodies

[Gronut]

Dark Saga by Iced Earth, excellent for all sorts of ass-kicking, from the pillaging to the burning, and whatever else goes on. It's a bit more suited to solo play, themewise, but IMHO great for all sorts of mayhem. If Mount & Blade ever gets finished and has a story, I sure hope this becomes their theme song, too.

If you're looking for a theme music for your first fortress attempt, I'd recommend the soundtrack of Requiem For A Dream.

Falconer.  "A Quest for the Crown", "Lord of the Blacksmiths", "The Past Still Lives On" ... heck the whole damn CD is appropriate.  

I need to buy more of their music.

Blackmore's Night - World of Stone.
Now THAT is almost an ideal theme song.
Medieval melody, low chanting...
What lyrics tell about are : crossbows, stone, vengeance, unity. Quite fitting.

And trying to put heavy rock songs everywhere is totally half-assed.

[Quiller]

It would be kind of amusing to put "The Anvil Chorus" in there.

I kind of like the in-game music though, it penetrates the psyche.

Oh, and of course there is this.  Which is Tom Waits' interpretation of the Heigh Ho song from Snow White.

I like listening to Classical music when I play games of this nature. Something about Vivaldi...

[Gemini]

Good choices, everyone.  

[Dehydration]

Notorious B.I.G., "Ready to Die"

There is no more appropriate song for any roguelike game.

[Doctor Zero]

I like the in-game music.   it's relaxing.

But this does give me an idea....

[Gara-nis]

I like listening to Classical music when I play games of this nature. Something about Vivaldi...

Wait... Vivaldi??

I thoroughly apologize for resurrecting this crusty dead ancient thread, but I just had to comment. Seriously, I hope nobody is building their fortress to fucking Vivaldi!

Choose something grand, like Mahler or Webern... or even Wagner.

Should be meaty! Not limp and milknosed like

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

goddamn fucking pissant Vivaldi.

[Sensei]

...I like Henry Mancini.

[Doomshifter]

...I like Henry Mancini.

I'm a big fan of coffee!
