Hey TL, I've just ran into a block where I have listened to the same music so many times now while playing sc2 that it gets boring. I make playlists on youtube and just hit autoplay, with each playlist having 20+ songs, and it worked great at first. I listen to 3 playlists primarily, one having alternative rock such as Why?, The White Stripes, and The Offspring. Another playlist is techno, with artists such as Deadmau5, Nero, and Flux Pavilion. My 3rd playlist is just the entire death note OST, including anime and trilogy of movies.

These playlists worked great for a long time, I eventually got bored and added/removed songs, but I just don't feel enough difference. I tried pandora, and it's okay but it doesn't really play "new" things, so I ask you all, what do you guys listen to while playing, whether it be albums of certain bands, playlists like I do, iTunes, Pandora criteria's, and such. Much feedback is appreciated for more music and more options for music.

tl;dr: Listen to same music a lot, trying to find more

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/search.php?q=music to play to this is a very helpful start to your quest.

My personal preference is video game music AC4 and AC4A both have pretty epic music, FF series what ever game has epic music lol

Also PANDORA is golden for SC2 just throw in your favorite artist(s) bam you get bad ass music

Lately I have been listening to internet radio and just have it playing through winamp. Radio Nintendo and OtherSteves Nintendo Music Radio are pretty good if you enjoy video game music.

To be fair, I just listen to whatever I can via grooveshark. I have been known to listen to the following genres:

Rock (i.e. The Strokes, The Clash, The Smiths, In Flames, Limp Bizkit, Hot Hot Heat, Maximo Park etc)
Metal (like BFMV, Motorhead, Nightwish, KISS etc.)
Emo (The Used, Panic! At The Disco, Simple Plan etc)
J-Pop (particularly memorable anime theme tunes. Comprises a small amount of my playlists)
Dubstep (namely Skrillex, Borgore, Datsik etc. I love dubstep for some reason.)
Drum & Bass (particularly Pendulum and B-Complex)

If I have music on when I'm playing, it's pretty much always Disturbed ^_^

I think Huk sometimes listens from this playlist:
http://vip.aersia.net/vip.swf

It's a collection of video game music. There is a bit of BW and SC2 music in there among tons of other songs from games both popular and obscure.

Recently, I've gathered a playlist of BW and SC2 Terran music to play on loop whenever I'm laddering. Hard to go wrong with BW Terran music, IMO.
