I play best with dubstep, hip-hop/rap. With DnB it gets a bit tricky, as sometimes I get too pumped up, which in return causes me to make silly mistakes.

So many K-Pop fans! I find the cachet of K-Pop the weirdest thing about the SC2 community; it all sounds like Power Rangers music to me. To each their own, I guess.

I know music makes me play slightly worse (maybe a lot worse) but I play Starcraft to have fun and relax so I don't usually mind. I don't really listen to one specific genre, and I also find the idea that different music suits different races kind of strange. Surely individual taste matters more than what race you're playing? Anyway, music I listen to:

Girl Talk
Iron Maiden
Dvorak's cello concerto
Beethoven 5th + 9th symphonies
Black Mountain
Daft Punk (Tron soundtrack!)
Mozart piano sonatas
The Hood Internet

Edit: and Zeppelin, of course.

It sounds weird but I always ladder better listening to Kpop, followed closely by vocal trance/dubstep. Its kinda weird because any other game I play I just listen to death metal, but with sc2 it actually hinders my performance. Weird huh? oh and i play Terran btw

I generally listen to instrumental stuff so that I'm not distracted by any lyrics. Jazz, classical, instrumental rock, electronica/trance, and maybe some light dubstep.

Saying that one type of music is best to listen to while playing a race is a ridiculous statement in itself. I really enjoy Jazz, so I listen to Jazz regardless of what race I'm playing. Also, for people voting based on general speeds in music, you can have extremely slow or extremely fast music of any genre. Music genre is irrelevant to what race you're playing, only relevant to who you are and what you enjoy.

KPOP FOR SURE.
There is a reason why Koreans are SO GOOD AT STARCRAFT. They Listen to kpop while playing, as you can see on streams.
There is a reason why Huk got so good, he listened to kpop.
Either that or some deadmau5 strobe is always good :D
dubstep is fuckin terrible for sc2, shit just makes you mad and rage...
Maybe thats why idra always rages

Music does not directly effect the Starcraft but it changes your mood. No one music is better for playing SC2 it's the music that you enjoy or feel makes you play SC2 better, all it does is affect the mind-state.

Why would you ask "What music is best to play to as X" people will just say their personal favorite music.

Since my idol was MC, I can only live up to his standard in two parts. I listen to Bruce Springsteen to fulfill the boss part and play protoss. boss toss ftw!
