Does anyone have any songs to recommend that really fit the tone of SR? Of course, anything that's sorta techno-ey and/or angsty would work, but you always want good quality music whenever you can help it. Here's my personal list of must-haves for a runner's mix; I give you the right to make fun of my personal taste.
  • "Woke Up This Morning," A3
    You may recognize this as the theme song from The Sopranos. IMO, it speaks to the frustrations simmering inside John Q. Runner and the actions he takes because of those frustrations. Or something like that. Anyway, I recommend that you put this one first on your list.
  • "Main Title (from The Matrix)," Don Davis
    I can hear you now: "Oh yeah, FanGirl, really clever allusion there. Linking the movie The Matrix to the SR Matrix is just such genius, you know. I couldn't possibly have made that connection on my own. :sarcasm: " But I'm putting it on the list anyway, and not merely because of the allusion factor. I feel that this particular theme does a good job of capturing the expansive and breathtaking world that is the SR Matrix, in both its wonders and its dangers.
  • "Little Drop Of Poison," Tom Waits
    Tom Waits is frickin' awesome. That is all.
  • "Mack The Knife," Louis Armstrong and/or Bobby Darrin
    After all that angst and grit, you need a nice, fun song to round off your playlist. You need to sit back and enjoy a light-hearted take on the kind of criminal acts you yourself commit in order to survive in this crazy world. You need "Mack The Knife."
