Whenever I put on music worth mentioning, I find that I either listen or play.

DF gets tedious sometimes because of flaws in the player, not flaws in the game.

I throw bunch of songs onto a palylist about once a month, and then shiffle it for DF.  A lot of it's The Goo Goo Dolls and 3 Doors Down for me.

I RESURRECT YE!

I found what may be the most apt music for DF:

Punch the Mayor

Thanks to the Request-a-song Folks. That song above, and also Chainsaw Paladin. Now all we need is a song about throwing kittens off cliffs and making them into thongs.

Nox Arcana mostly.

Though sometimes I just watch movies on my laptop at the same time. Especially useful with my low FPS.

Amon Amarth? Iron Maiden!?
It is good to see that those who came before have good taste in music!
I will add 'Finntroll' to the mix; it is most excellent for DF!

If Winamp didn't crash on the third time it loops any song, I'd stick my vgmix playlist on random loop.

Same music I usually listen to. Mostly Black Sabbath and Disturbed (Ten Thousand Fists = the greatest album in existence), a bit of Ozzy Osbourne, and some miscellaneous classic rock and stuff.

Kindred spirits!  Though to be honest, I've never heard Finntroll.

Go ahead and throw Hammerfall on the list.

Also,

I am assuming you guys all have dual cores. I wouldn't be prepared to sacrifice my fps for some Non-Dwarven music.

If I did have a dual core... It would have to be my Metal/Rock mix.

I have to agree with you there. Mudvayne is sweet as well.

Sufjan Stevens. Its sorta like the officially composed music, melodic and brooding with some quite happy and upbeat songs as well.

I try not to listen to anything too fast or catchy because with my slow frame rate, it makes the dwarves seem t o m ov e  e v e n    s l o w   e    r.    .      .

Blizzard has a site for all the starcraft and diablo 2 music. Those seem to work well.

Symphony X. The latest album (Paradise Lost) is great. Maiden always works, too, 'course.
I'd really appreciate more music like the original DF soundtrack, though. Maybe with some variation in pace, when danger approaches...

Wow, I didn't know that you could download Diablo 2's music! Another classic game soundtrack added to my collection - thanks, SWVoodoo!

As for DF, I find the Lord of the Rings soundtrack most appropriate and fitting because of its fantasy setting and varied moods. Rock just doesn't fit with the game for me.
