    I like to listen to Tenacious D when in the thick of combat during a game! Dunno why but it really gets me going, even when I'm splattered across the floor! :p

    ^ This man has the only acceptable answer. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and everything else classic 80's Iron Maiden.

    I listen to K-Love on "I Heart Radio" sometimes, but I tend to prefer in-game music. Other than that, I have a bunch of old christian rock CD's that I'll either pop in or rip to my computer and turn into a playlist.

    I know it seems like a strange music choice, but I was raised in a largely protestant church family, and that's one thing that I've retained. It's not like I want to be all "praise & worship" in my music choice (actually quite the contrary), I simply like the beats, and they usually have a great positive message. I am picky though, I don't like most of what's out there.

    Other than that, I actually grew up with a big alternative rock theme to my music. Stuff like Smashing Pumpkins and Third Eye Blind is right up my ally.

    It's awesome now how you can simply add your playlists to the game itself and have your tunes play depending upon where you are/what's going on.

    I tend not to be too fussy when generally gaming - I've got quite a diverse musical taste to begin with and it doesn't put me off to listen to a particular thing. But I have a bit of an oddity when it comes to FPS's in that I much prefer listening to classical music whilst playing.

    I have this huge rap playlists on spotify containing Eminem, Tupac, Biggie, Jay Z etc.. I usually just listen to rap music which is my favorite genre. Either that or I'll put on the radio.

    It depends on what game I'm playing and what mood I'm in. Sometimes I'll listen to extreme metal, sometimes pop music, sometimes even dance, and at times I like to listen to some Ninja Sex Party. For those who don't know who they are, they're a comedy band and yes, they're awesome!

    But some of my favorite music to listen to while gaming is atmospheric, drone, etc. Yes I said it, drone. One band I listen to the most while gaming, especially if it's say Skyrim, or other MMORPGs, is Alcest. I'll post a song below. ;)

    I generally don't listen to music while gaming, but I do have the television running majority of the time. Usually it's Family Guy or something to that effect.

    I like listening to evanescense and eisley, I find that those two bands really get me in a certain mood for gaming. I love how the music is kind of dark and mysterious and then the women's voices are so amazing.

    I listen to a lost of post-rock-instrumental music while gaming as I find it's very un-distracting and I can get a long with things with a clearer head than if I was listening to rock or indie with words.

    I do a lot of photography and listen to lots of music as well as play games. I've spent far too much time gaming in the past so i'm focusing on more of my other hobbies nowadays.

    Depends on which game and what I am doing in the game. If I am playing Bejeweled 3, I normally listen to trance, drum and bass or chill out house. If I am leveling an MMORPG like WoW or SWTOR, then I listen to Dub, trance or chill out house. If I am playing immersive games like Fallout 3, then I listen to rock, alternative and possibly opera.

    I listen to a lot of music, but currently, I'm more on the indie rock side of things. Bands like CHVRCHES, The 1975, Passion Pit, and Echosmith come to mind when I'm playing games.

    I listen to new popular music when I am gaming.
    I usually listen with an MP3 or something while I am doing something on the computer too.

    High School Musical Soundtracks.

    Nah, I was joking :D.

    Probably I would be listening to Linkin Park/Trance or some random tunes (I am a diverse guy when it comes to music) that I just got into.
