Just what the title asks, what music do you listen to when you play? Do you listen to Afterwinds own music or do you usually play something else instead? Let's make this a thread for great song suggestions on what to play while playing.
I have been listening to the new album of Turisas. Finnish band that plays metal about glorious battles and the rising and falling of great empires with an epic symphony orchestra backing them up.

Other great choice is Two Steps From Hell. American production music company that makes music for movie/video game-trailers. A great choice when you are last standing against an overwhelming force but still might have chance, gets you really pumped up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llnIzZPtfzw&hd=1
I kinda like it, especially how the style and genre mix and change between the songs. I strongly dislike albums that are more or less just full of the same.
Two Steps From Hell turns up quite often in my playlist, between other movie/game soundtracks. Also Beethoven, Chopin, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, Verdi, and so on. Addicted to Classical / Orchestral music. Besides that I might listen to a bit DubStep. But happens rarely. Mostly I play Afterwind without music anyways.
Oh and if I'm fighting for Vietnam, I almost always play some CCR's Fortunate Son (http://bit.ly/dHLZCF) and Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries (http://bit.ly/hxqGe3), too bad the game doesn't have napalm strikes and helicopters are a rare unit.
Lots of deathcore death metal and metal. The you've got an assortment of anything from dubstep, trance, glitchhop, electronic, to punk. It really depends on the pace and location of the game though. I mosh it out with metal for blitzkrieg'n world games.
I like playing Holiday In Cambodia in that region of the world
I generally listen to this type of music very little, but when playing Afterwind, I'm usually listening to hard rock, the type bands such as the legendary AC/DC are best known for.
Nothing like that feeling when you make a successful attack on your enemy's capital and then the chorus kicks in.
I dont always listen to music while i play but i dont uually listen to the AW music. Joe Satriani, Linerd Skinerd (thats not how u spell it but i dont have it with me at the mo) and Charie Daniels is what i have on the computer so thats what i listen to
