We've established that a lot of people listen to music while playing bzflag... my question is, what do you listen to? Is one type of music better than another, as far as annihilating others goes? Share your thoughts.

I listen to anything metal (except Nu metal) cos i hate that

Bands like DragonForce, Children of Bodom, Bring me the Horizon and stuff like that

well...i rarley do listen to music whilst playing. simply because the sound on the game can help (incoming guided missiles) but i quite like my rock and heavy rock. but i strongly recommend DEATH METAL whilst playing. its gets you in the mood to KILL.

I find that an awesome "killing" song is "Line 'Em Up" by Dangerous Toys

I've been into Bluegrass lately, but I can't recommend it to improve your game. I notice no difference. Of course, if you absolutely can't stand it, it will probably ruin it

I just listen to any thing , apart from R&B , and rap music , {skin crawls}

mmm...seeing that i don't play much, when i DID play or sometimes play on lasermania, I'd usually listen to: Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and sometimes Kraftwerk. Its quit a combination.

Ah! Another Kraftwerk fan!

I also recently discovered a group called Orbital to listen to while playing.

Most classic rock stuff is good too. Listening to music does seem to improve my game, I turn the sound effects down low so that I can still hear improtant stuff like GMs, but it doesn't interfere with the music.

I mostly listen to classic rock.

marilyn manson, nine inch nails, G's 'n F'n R's.

what i normally listen to. hard rock & heavy metal (mostly 80's), power metal, symphonic/progressive metal. music works both ways. it can work like caffeine, sharpening your senses, or it can distract you. if i start to suck badly, i switch it off.

Back in the day when I had music playing in the background. It would be things like Evanescence, Flyleaf, Seether, Nickelback, 30STM, 3 doors down, Panic at the Disco, Pete Murray, Hinder, James Blunt, Staind etc., etc.,

mostly i don't listen to music while playing. but sometimes i listen to swiss hiphop or swiss rap (Brandhärd,Gleis 2,Bligg,Tumen,Sektion Kuchikäschtli,Gimma,Baze, etc...) while playing bz.

i have winamp almost constantly running in the background the whole day...
for games, i mostly listen to something like Bon Jovi or Papa Roach, it kinda helps me

Good choices of music there! (What i would say as really good)

thanks. i thought the same about your post. i hate nu-metal too! axl's list isn't bad either btw. mine would be very similar.

I like a variety; I keep my music tase open minded, but favourites include:

Porcupine Tree; Muse; Radiohead; Maroon 5; Cat Empire; Grunge - Soundgarden, Pearl Jam etc.; Some Jazz-Funk such as Dennis Chambers; more Porcupine Tree; Some Electronica and Drum & Bass such as Pendulum and Prodigy; and much more.

I listen to music 99% of the time I spend at my iMac. My current playlist features a lot of Orson, Razorlight, a little The Fray and a touch of The Cars.
My most listened to music of all time include various tracks by The Kooks, Fall Out Boy, Will Smith, The Futureheads, etc.

Nothing, Nodda.......I do not play with sound at all. But if I did i guess it would be the classic rock of the 80's.

"What you don't hear will kill you!"

I listen to Grits, Toby Mac, Three 6 mafia sometimes... and whatever I can get in Songbird.
