I can't remember if I made this thread already but I couldn't find it.

I make custom soundtracks for playing certain games. So far I've made 3. I generally tend to pull from the same dozen or so bands because they just seem to make good video game music but I have a few wildcards too. This is what I've done.

Motorstorm Apocalypse:

Sevendust - The End is Coming
Project 86 - The Great Golden Gate Disaster
Nonpoint - Wake Up World
Powerman 5000 - Blast off to Nowhere
Saliva - Survival of the Sickest
In Flames - Versus Terminus
Mygrain - A Clockwork Apocalypse
Raunchy - Welcome the Storm
Soilwork - 20 More Miles
Anubis Gate - Find a Way or Make One
Hibria - Steel Lord on Wheels
Killswitch Engage - World Ablaze
Devildriver - Impending Disaster
Mustasch - Falling Down
Staind - Price to Play
Flaw - Endangered Species

SSX:

Anubis Gate - Snowbound
Hammerfall - Fury of the Wild
Nocturnal Rites - Pain and Pleasure
Threshold - Safe to Fly
Winterborn - Wildheart
PanterA - The Art of Shredding
Shadows Fall - Enlightened by the Cold
Christopher Cross - Ride Like the Wind
Pink Floyd - Learning to Fly
Lostprophets - To Hell We Ride
Nonpoint - Miracle
Sevendust - Ride Insane
Sugar Ray - Fly (feat. Supercat)
The Primitives - Crash
Green Jelly - The Bear Song
In Panic - Jump Air
Jamiroquai - High Times
Static-X - Cold

Bulletstorm:

Anthrax - What Doesn't Die
Children of Bodom - In Your Face
Disturbed - Violence Fetish
Lamb of God - Set to Fail
Lostprophets - We Still Kill the Old Way
Mastadon - Blood and Thunder
Mudvayne - Determined
Mustasch - Bring Me Everyone
Nonpoint - Bullet With a Name
PanterA - Hellbound
Revis - Spin
Saliva - Click Click Boom
Seether - Fuck it
Sevendust - Enemy
Shadows Fall - Redemption
Soilwork - Late For the Kill, Early For the Slaughter

Good lists.

This is a good thread cause my memories of certain games are tied with the music I listened to while playing them.

Starcraft - Linkin Park/Thrice/Metallica
Diablo 2 - Killswitch Engage
Doom - Metallica

Those are what stand out.

Man going back further I can remember building models listening to Foo Fighters, Rob Zombie, Matchbox 20, STP, Fast Ball, DMB, etc...

Going way, way, way back I can remember playing with Legos cockgobbleing Star Trek TNG lolz

I've used custom soundtracks before, but to me a custom soundtrack says that the game's own soundtrack isn't good enough. And that sucks ass.
Denver Broncos: defending champs, 8-6, next game 12/25 @ Kansas City Chiefs
Colorado Rockies: 75-87, missed playoffs
Colorado Avalanche: 11-18-1, next game 12/20 @ Minnesota Wild
Denver Nuggets: 12-16, next game 12/20 @ Los Angeles Clippers
Colorado Mammoth: first game 12/30 @ Buffalo Bandits
Denver Outlaws: defending champs, first game 4/22 @ Charlotte Hounds
Colorado State Rams football: 7-5, next game Idaho Bowl 12/22 vs Idaho Vandals
Colorado State Rams basketball: 8-4, next game 12/22 vs Long Beach State 49ers
Winnipeg Blue Bombers: 11-7, lost West Division Semifinal
Denver Pioneers Lacrosse: first game 1/24 vs Johns Hopkins Blue Jays
#2 Denver Pioneers Hockey: 12-3-3, next game 12/30 @ Providence College Friars

While playing Grand Theft Auto, I only listen to my own radio station which has nothing but The Beatles on it. Gunning people down in drive-by shootings while listening to "Here Comes the Sun" = Teh awesome.

I just think it's more fun to make your own.

When done correctly, a soundtrack is a vital part of a game experience.

true but in a game like the ones I've made soundtracks for (racing games, arcade shooters, snowboarding) the score isn't really that integral to the experience. I'll usually play the game through the first time with the soundtrack on the disc and if it's cool, then alright. If it's lame, time to make my own. Part of the fun is finding songs that match the tone of the game lyrically and aurally.

Homeworld had an excellent sound track.

Adagio for Strings fits perfectly in the scene in which it was used. In a nutshell your ship leaves to test its hyperdrive system, and when you return to your world you find it burning and everyone is dead.
