I am aware that some of you will not recognize the titles. I am also aware that they are not equally good. However, I believe they are all worth a try. Any other soundtracks that should have got on the list?
I don’t normally use music at my game. I find that my players and I are too slow in general for it to really add anything however I you have some good choices there. You may want to consider the Harry Potter and Star Trek sound tracks, because even though they each have that main opening trck which isn’t good (unless your in a game in either of those universes) they each have tracks might be good. The truth is, any music that can be played softly (Doesn’t have to be softly obviously) in the background can be a good choice.
The Oblivion sound track. good stuff.
Yeah, I guess a top 50 soundtracks list can be made…
