When i'm not so focused on the game to actually pay attention to other things for more than a split second I like to listen to nostalgic music. Nostalgic music to me usually consists of tracks from other video games as well as anime, GSL, and kpop. I'll get a nice rush of adrenaline when i get into loading a match and the pokemon red/blue battle (vs trainer) track starts playing.

I always listen to relaxing music (Insomniac Olympics Radio on Pandora), so when I start to get mad I remember that it's just a game and there are much more important things to worry about

But I'm disappointed in the way the music is collected in the OP, as well as with the options available...


can you be more descriptive? i might be able to fix it


Sorry, I should have been more clear, I cam off a bit to rude there


The way I see it, music is to complicated and diverse to group into those categories.
While I am sure that you did so because these are the most common groups of music Starcrafters listen to, but I am anal about proper categorization of music (and other things).

In my opinion, it should have been done something like this (though I don't necessarily think you "have" to change it):

-Korean pop
-Other pop (modern popular music).
-Rock (classic, soft, blues, etc).
-Rock (hard, alt, modern).
-Death and Heavy metal/etc.
-Jazz/Blues
-Classical Music
-Dubstep/Electronic
-Rap
-Reggae
-Instrumental (Modern).
-World and Historical Music
-Disco/Dance (ex. Michael Jackson, BeeGees. Includes Funk).
-Music from Movies/TV shows/jingles/etc.
-Video Game music (soundtracks, etc).
-The in game, StarCraft II music.
-None
-Other


Something like that.
Sorry, I'm a bit of a stickler...

This.

I usually play best listening to faster Rock/Metal when I play, a lot of John 5's solo stuff mostly at the moment. Nothing wrong with a bit of KPOP either though

I prefer instrumental music, because vocals distract me.

That is why KPOP is so good, the lyrics are just like another instrument to me

I listen to a wide variety of music, going from early`s 30 to late 70`s. The genres i listen to are:
-Swing
-Rockabilly
-60`s rock (beatles, led zep)
-Surf (from beach boys to straitjackets)
-Western (gets me in an epic mood to micro)
-Latin (bossa-nova, latin-jazz)
- Acid jazz

And more genres, but im lazy

i don't listen to music when i play, but if i did, since i play zerg, it would be the first 40 seconds of this song repeated over and over.
i seriously think that whoevers making the zerg music for HOTS should just take the first 40 secs and expand upon it
