So here's my playlist, consisting of both Video Game soundtracks, Movie soundtracks and actual bands.
Basically, what I usually listen to.
Soul Coughing: Trever introduced me to them and I'm really grateful. To me, they embody everything that was great about the 90's. And listening to them, it's hard not to crack a smile.
Down To This:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8OY1N_b7qYBeethoven: God I love his work. It's powerful and yet mysterious. Looking at his notes and works, it looks like a bunch of scribbles and slashes with a pencil across the page.
Moonlight Sonata:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVeaIHWWckClutch: Clutch was a band Ron introduced me to. And like Trevor said, they switch up their sound for each album but for the most part, they're a rock group.
Willie Nelson:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_VS8Wd2uFoMother 1-3's soundtrack: The Mother games have always had a strong focus on music. Always able to suck you in either through strong emotional songs or really up beat or in some cases, some real bad ass tunes. Shigesato Itoi really knows what note to play at the right time to really deliver a moment.
Porky Means Business!:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1QfIbLulf8&fmt=18Love Theme:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idULzIIF950Oldboy soundtrack: What a great soundtrack, mixing both anger and frustration, with suspense and agony. Besides the incredible job the actors do, the soundtrack really sucks you and can deliver a punch that even Oh Dae Su's hammer would be proud of. The soundtrack consists of a lot of trumpet work and strings. There's a certain song called Whom The Bells Toll that when you listen to it, you feel like you're lost and just walking in circles.
The Last Waltz:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DsdVhsN ... annel_pageThe Decemberists: A band I'm kind of embarassed of listening to but I dig the hell out of them. Really relaxing songs, and fun as hell videos. The lead guitarist also appeared on The Colbert Report, which is always something.
Sixteen Military Wives:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK3Ce9md96gNine Inch Nails: A great band, almost always mixing up their style of music. Ranging from hard rock, to lighter, and often depressing tunes. Sometimes their songs can be a bit overwhelming, but I think that's the point.
1,000,000:

METAL GEEAAARRR:
