What music do you listen to when you play video games?

With some games you really need the sound on to know what's going on, but with others that don't have much of an intellectual aspect, you don't(I'm lookin' at you, Quake series).When I play those I usually listen to music.Since I'm a fan of FPSs and action/RPGs, I usually listen to fast hard-driving music, like Iron Maiden, Rage Against the Machine, Jane's Addiction, or Primus.What do you listen to?

    I stored celtic music into my XBox360, and I listen to them while playing TES4: Oblivion. They give the game some unique, cinema quality. Once I get Devil May Cry 4, I will add songs from Metallica.

    Whatever the crap is on my hard drive. And by that, I mean anything from Strong Bad Sings CD.

    usually if its a single player game, i play the games sound track, however with multiplayer games and racers (ie pgr, grid, not mario kart) i play custom sound tracks, depending on my mood this can be many bands ie

    -NIN
    -InMe
    -Fei Comodo
    -Exit Ten
    -Anthrax
    -New Found Glory
    and many others

    I never play music over the top of a game, I'd much rather hear the game soundtrack/effects.

    For some of my games that don't require my attention at all times (like sim games, such as Open-source Transport Tycoon Deluxe, or SimCity 2000) I'll disable the game's music (and often even the sound) and just listen to whatever I'm in the mood for. Lately I've been listening to Hardware Store obsessively.

    Oh, well I guess Mario Kart's cheery music does better than most racing games' techno-pop music...

    Most of the time I listen to whatever music is in the game (especially since most of what I play is SBCG4AP, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Guitar Hero 3), but when I'm playing something with music that bores me, I play some Powerglove (a band that labels itself as "video game metal; it's freakin awexome, and if you haven't heard it or heard of it yet, you should really check it out).

    Only game I play my own music to is DROD, and that's because I'm a cheapskate getting the most out of the trial version before I can afford the full game. (The trial version only has something like one or two music tracks).

    Music I listen to while playing games:
    I've got some falling to do - Lemon Demon
    Music from other games.

    I tend to listen to Ethel Merman, but on the rare occasion I listen to Tiny Tim.
