What *game* music could work?

[dfjdejulio]

We're not just into music games, a lot of people here are also just generally gamers. So what game-related music might be appropriate?

The problem is, they need to be somewhat rock-ish and they need to have vocals that people can sing along too (eg. no Zerg anthems or cyborg lullabies or Klingon operas).

The first thing that comes to mind is, of course, "Level 70 Elite Tauren Chieftain". Can we get their two well-known rock songs?

I am Murloc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwD9bjGk1cY) (live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOW9AUgQOOk))
Power of the Horde (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISA_nG5smy0) (live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR-LMHbU_UM))

The next thing that came to mind is, remember "The Seventh Guest"? Well, Team Fat (the folks who did the music) did a studio version of the theme song with lyrics, called "The Game (http://www.fatman.com/mpegs/TheGame.mp3)". That could so work.

The next game to come to mind was "Silent Hill". But, the only song from it that I think would work with Rock Band is "Hometown (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkEixChDhWw)".

And then, from Final Fantasy X, there's "Otherworld (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYhhLkiIBcg)" (live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idmX6OTGzDg)).

What else would work?

Yeup, with Steve Vai doing it. But no lyrics, so that couldn't work for Rock Band right now.

Got anything specific in mind besides "Otherworld"? Not a whole heck of a lot of his stuff comes with lyrics...

Folks in this thread:

suggested "Still Alive" from "Portal".

Yes! I'd pay for that in a heartbeat.

Edit: here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxNmeMklFk8) is the guy who composed it performing it himself.

I would really like to see "Power of the Horde" and "I am Murloc" as well.

They could do the them from the Kingdom Hearts. I remember that had some singing, but don't recall it having a heavy guitar part. Could probably add one in though.

Any of the classic Castlevania songs, like bloody tears!! If I had it my way, the entire Symphony of the Night album would be downloadable.

The opening to Final Fantasy X is a Heavy Rock song

How about the Mario Theme with the lyrics from that TV show??

Anyone?? No? Just Me?

Ya, I downloaded it cuz it was free, and it wasn't that great. They shouldn't use songs from games, Rock Band is a game that can appeal to other people that aren't really into other games. They should stick to Rock and Roll

Does the Lameboy remix of Freezepop's "Science Genius Girl" count?

The whole song remixed to play with Gameboy sounds. Awesome.

=O That would be the most orgasmatic 0:39 seconds of my life! I think every song mentioned would be good, and I don't really have anything to contribute.
