What songs you listen to when playing Lotro?

[Ceremony]

When I am leveling, I listen to Nightwish ------->http://youtu.be/8VgLKXD-BoY
Tarja is an amazing singer. She hypes me to get to 75 faster o.o
Someone got me stuck to Nightcore style of music, I also like to listen to them. The style is like Scorpiomist on the 10 cup of coffee, check them out --------->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngLKD8jH2MY
What songs do you listen to?

[Armaius]

Hmm. Well, sometimes I throw on some cheesy epic music a la Two Steps From Hell or something, or stuff from movie soundtracks like PotC. Other times, I don't put on music but have one of my favorite webshows - usually the Nostalgia Critic or Atop the Fourth Wall primarily - running in the background.

[Zydrate]

Nothing specific, just recent favorites that I tend to pick up.

[djheydt]

Handel. Water or Fireworks Music.

[Laerien]

Usually I listen the in game music. But also listen:

Pirates Of The Caribbean OST and The Lord Of The Rings OST too

[Moripopori]

these days? well, #1 chartbreaker? queen - you dont fool me

/irony off

sum pagan stuff goes well with lotro...

[Barrynor]

The Song of the Dying Orcs.... aka no music, or the music from Lord of the Rings, or some other fantasy track.

MY wife also plays, we sit next to each other, she gets headaches from headphones so uses a regular sound system... if we are in the same area, our music is usually not synched, drives me nuts as I can hear two the same songs at different points of their respective playtime.

[Nymphonic]

It really depends on where I am. I like the music in the AH, Trollshaws, and Lothlorien, but I play something from my collection when I'm in Dunland.

[AdrianBLB]

I put on everything from Jeremy Soule. For those who didn't know, Mr. Soule composed the soundtracks for Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind. Epic music, and it goes well with LOTRO. Other than that, there's Two Steps From Hell, Enya and of course, Howard Shore! =)

[Arianias]

Does listening to whatever my kiddo has on the tele and everyone in the house talking to me count?

[Dingador]

There are only two songs I will listen to while playing Lotro.

1: Meatloaf - I'd do anything for love, on a continuous loop

OR if doing slayer deeds,

2: The benny hill theme song, on a continuous loop.



(the first is a joke, but the second is seriouz)

Good luck if they listening to Dora -_-

Nice, looks like I'm not the only one Also South Park or some other random show I happen to stumble upon, and the podcasts of CSTM or the Tolkien-professor are nice to listen to as well.

[Idahwaru]

I usually listen to the in-game music because I'm far too lazy to turn off the in-game music and find something else to listen to. If I did, I'd probably go for Jeremy Soule's Guild Wars soundtracks - they would fit the mood but probably feel downright wrong because I'm so used to hearing them in another game! Other than that I could imagine listening to the LOTR soundtracks if I ever needed change. Anything else would probably seriously throw me off, but that's just me.

I never see the point in listening to anything other than the game's own music, for me that's part of the whole experience .. and while I love Tarja-era Nightwish, it isn't something I'd ever dream of listening to playing a video game.

[Bloodspill]

I love listening to Middle-earth network radio, seriously they play a great mix of songs perfect for adventuring plus they have their own shows that include lots of LOTRO gossip and info.

[Hecki]

I've a "Lord of the Rings OST"-Playlist for each region in LOTRO
There I have the LoTR-Feeling

[Wernwulf]

Usually I don't listen to music while playing Lotro, but when soloing some Rare Elite or some instance I like to get boosted with uptempo tracks form Korn/Ministry/Slipknot ...

You never wanted to stop
The smell of burning flesh
The hero marches alone
Across the highway of death

Happy Shing-Shinging !

[Theandil]

Sabaton
Metallica
Nightwish
Eluveitie
Rammstein
Lotr Soundtracks
Nirvana
Judas Priest
Helloween

hmm, and many many others :P

[OldLadyGamer]

On Spotify I have a "Music to kill orcs by" playlist that has a lot of Immediate, Erik Ekholm, Juno Reactor, etc. Other times I'll queue up several of Hans Zimmer's greatest soundtracks.

We do as well for talk radio but not most of the time. Or BBC7(4Xtra). CasualStrollPodcast on LOTRO Saturday with our Kin, which is also on MER.

For the music though, we mostly listen to LastFM or Pandora Radio with Soundtracks radio, LOTR radio or nightwish/within temptation radio selected in the mix.

MER goes off track with Simon&Garfunkle style folk WAY too much. I survived the 70's once I don't need to go through that again. If they just played soundtracks and LOTR based music (and renfaire type bands) I would listen to it more. But lately I have changed it more than I have stuck with it.

I listen to them to give me a wake up boost. Sometimes the game's own music is more like a lullaby.

That pretty cool.

[Ceejay90]

I just run media player on random......many many tracks from Mendlesson to Meatloaf. OK MEA to MEN is not a lot but you get the idea.....a lot of 60's tracks on the mix. Biggest co incidence was Bat out of hell in the Bat cave......

[Linwe-Elfmaiden]

I listen to the game's soundtrack -- I love it and after all these years still prefer it over anything else while in game.
