[Zhan Shi]

For various reasons, I always think of Shadowrun when I play these songs. Feel free to chime in with your own. Enjoy. Or maybe not; I've been told that my taste in music is, to quote my father, "crap".

The first is from an 80's show called crime story. Michael Mann hired Del Shannon to rewrite "Runaway". This reminds me of that detective from the SR novels...can't think of his name...the one whose sister was inhabited by a bug spirit. Listen to it here.

My very first SR character was an eagle shaman. I guess that explains "Eagle Fly Free" by Helloween. Listen to it here.

So, you may be wondering what an Orxsploitation band would sound like; "Sick of You" by Gwar would fit the bill, with it's talk of "human filth!" Come to think of it, if you've ever seen them in concert, the kinda LOOK like an ork band. Listen to it here.


Blade Runner has a definite SR look and feel. The music during the end credits is both eery and exciting. Listen to it here.

Some songs have seemed perfect for razorgirls and gangs like the Desolation Angels. These include "Celebrity Skin", by Hole, and "I'm Only Happy When It Rains", by Garbage.

"Remember Tomorrow", by Iron Maiden. Perfect for mages and their astral quests.

These next two focus on the "shadowrunner vs. the system" type stuff. They are "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll", by Judas Priest, and "Judas", another tune by Helloween.
