Favorite Racing Music?

[Ikari Warrior]

I was debating of whether I should put this in "music" or "video games", but I'm more interested in people's favorite racing game soundtracks are, or if you listen to your own music, and shut the game music off.

My favorite music is from Out Run 2. I love "Splash Wave", but the other two tracks from the original outrun are great, too.

So, how 'bout y'all?

It depends, when I'm playing Civilization or a strategy type game I will. Blind Guardian + Rome: Total War = love

Or if I'm playing my DS in my chair I'll kill the volume and listen to music.

I like most of the soundtracks to the Gran Turismo, Ridge Racer, and Initial D series, so i'll let them on. But most console racers have a tendency to be repetitive.

Did you get lost at the word "racing"?

Ridge Racer for me. Music type is the one I like so..

[Alundra]

When I am playing WoW, it's mainly Rush and Shadow Gallery since I need something that will keep me going yet not get me too excited like something like Angra.

For racing games, I only play Gran Turismo, but usually the soundtrack is barely audible. I put on Royksopp when I'm about to do an Endurance run. I remember doing the Pikes Peak 4 hour Endurance run 5 years ago listening to some weird techno music before I discovered the wonderful world of metal.

Oops, I guess I did XD

*LOL* it's all good, I was considering making this thread a general "what music do you listen to when playing video games" thread, but decided I wanted to be a little more specific, particularly since I've been listening to the soundtracks to burnout 3, NFS: hot pursuit 2, and Out Run 2.

When I'm playing EVE Online I usually jam out to a mix of Radiohead, Aphex Twin, The Mars Volta, Muse, Tool, and then anything spacey that I can find in my Media Library. As for racing games, I usually would jam out to whatever classic rock songs populated my X-Box's HD. Usually something like Tom Petty's "Running Down a Dream" or Hendrix's "Cross Town Traffic".

The Offspring.

Yes, they're not great. But Crazy Taxi 2 did me in. I cannot do well at racing games without hearing them now.

[Ikari Warrior]

The Offspring.

Yes, they're not great...

Whaddaya mean? The Offspring ARE great. Admittedly, I have to be in the mood to listen to them, but it's certainly music to drive/play to. I like to listen to Foo Figheters, myself.

[Anime Gee]

Hahaha! I thought this thread was about actual real life racing. I don't listen to music in the car when I'm out flogging it in the canyons or on a road coarse. I need to hear the motor, the tires, & all the other clunks & noises to make sure that I don't eat it. Hahaha! ( ^o^) <3

But yeah, whenever I would play Gran Turismo, I would always turn off the music. It got annoying after a while! \(>o< )

[Crube]

Burnout 3 is pretty fun. I listen to Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, BLAZE, and so on.

[Natsu]

99 Red BalloonsI frickin love listening to this song when I'm racing

[thebornotaku]

The Initial D soundtrack is pretty awesome.

However, sometimes i kill the volume and listen to some other techno i have, like Durude or Aphex Twin.

[Oerlikon]

Ballroom Blitz by the Damned makes me floor it.....

I think their first album is good. The rest not so much.

[Ceraziefish]

I'm really tired, and I was just checking the Hentai section.

I read this thread title as "Favorite Raping Music."

Which would be...what, exactly? :P

Aphex Twin

I was thinking more rob zombie or something along those lines, but to each his own, I s'pose.

[thebornotaku]

All the racing games that have released recently have shitty soundtracks, but the Gran Turismo 2 soundtrack was cool.

And just for the hell of it I ALWAYS listen to di.fm's Hard Core station when playing WoW.

I generally listen to ninja music like Kung Fu Fighting.

/o/

Or when i am in the BG, something epic and war-like, like Gettysburg by Iced Earth (which fits the bill perfectly and is long as fuck)

[ROCKSTEADY]

Trance, trance, trance, trance.

[Ceraziefish]

Trance, trance, trance, trance.

A lot of trance is just a really good soundtrack for anything, though.

Trance makes my commute by bus epic.

[Natsu]

the German techno music from Super Troopers.. god I want that song so bad.
