I hate how GTA san andreas literally forces rap down my throat. I even chose the rock station as my default station for cars, but every time I get in a new one there's RAP >.> They do have some good rock songs on there, if I can find the time to find the station instead of just shutting the radio off. My Need For Speed game does that, so I just turned off all music and just listened to my own sterio. It's pretty pathetic.

Custom soundtracks..... one of the reasons i got it for the PC

Yeah. POTC music was really good. I loved LOTR as well, i have the soundtrack kicking around somewhere on my computer i think.... i'll have to try and find it.

Yeah, SA does kinda have a bias towards rap, but then again the game is in that culture so i guess it adds to the overall effect of the game. Though once you get past it there is a fair decent selection of music available, though i got bored of it eventually and made play lists from my music

lol, for some reason i also love the intro music for "The Naked Gun".... i don't really know why

I was two pages ahead of you in time, sorry, here's my response.

I love movie scores, however. Amélie is my all time favourite, by Yann Tiersen. The Last of the Mohicans, Jurassic Park, Once, The Shawshank Redemption and American Beauty, oh and The Pianist have some of my favourite tunes.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou has a brillant soundtrack - lots of acoustic David Bowie songs sung in Brasilian Portuguese by Seu Jorge. Wonderful. Queen Bitch in particular is excellent in that language.

But game music, no. Whenever I used to play them I'd turn the game sound down and put on my own CD as music, unless there was a cutscene or a bit where I had to listen.

Is there any reason for that? Maybe because you don't understand them?
I think that songs can/should be enjoyed no matter what language it's in.

Case in point. I don't know the words of these songs, but I still like them alot.
I mean, sure I can search for translations, but if I fall in love with a song by just listening to it, then it doesn't really matter to me if I know the words or not. Sometimes you can tell the meaning of a song you can't understand JUST by listening to it.

And of course there's Rammstein as well.

Hell yeah! Not a damn word! but that doesn't matter if the music is good.

I totally agree with you. Believe or not but during my visit to Turkey, I fell in love with a Turkish song called "Çakkıdı" - " Don't even know what does that word mean" . I don't speak or understand Turkish but still a great song in my opinion. Great rhythm and beats.

Check it out: [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmoY4g2X9fc ]

It was simply a hit.

That's a really catchy song. o.O

I've got a Turkish song that I like too. XD
The video reminds me of The Sims though.. lol

I have a couple of favourite movie/Game soundtracks..

-Final Fantasy X. "To Zanarkand" is beautiful, in my opinion. Soft and melodic and deep and lovely.

-Final Fantasy AC. Blends Rock and Classical beautifully.

-Moulin Rouge - How could you not love it?

-SUnshine - Underworld is this great, avant garde experimental band, and I'm so glad Danny Boyle chose them for the film. Also, the classical artist... John something :x, created the most amazing theme I've heard in a movie for a long time.

oohhhhh i just sat down and watched hero, kung fu hustle and crouching tiger hidden dragon last night and i forgot how amazing the scores for these films are. and how beautifully composed they are! but then again most of the films like these have great music. sorry i am a sucker for those styles of music.

Worst game soundtrack ever: Possibly every Sims game.

Seriously. What is with that crap? I think it was composed purely to sound like undisgested shit rotting in the asshole of a squid.

I was too busy trying to see my Sims naked in the shower.... aah, the innocence of yoof.

Forbidden Siren's music (what there was of it) was pretty good and added to the overall effect of the game.... i have never shat myself so much during a game..... especially the brief fright you get when you are spotted

I gave up on that game after it confused the shit out of me. I don't think I got past level two. It looked so awesome and turned out to be the most confusing thing since Stephen Hawkins wheelchair configuration.

So the music was good, eh? I may Youtube it.

Erm, I guess it's 'cause I sing a lot ^^;; And err...I can't sing/speak Japanese for shit. And I usually like singing along and all. Although I wouldn't say that was the main reason...I guess I find it hard to listen to. I just can't get into it. But that doesn't mean they aren't good. It's just not my everyday type of listen. ^^;;

I love songs where I have no idea what the words are. Means I can make them in to whatever I want.

Like Bohemian Rhapsody?

That confused the crap out of me. I sometimes wonder what they must have been smoking when they made those lyrics.

Who are "they"? Heck, i dunno. I was too busy getting high.
