This list omits the fact that I explicitly soundtrack damn near everything, using a mix of things that will work with particular scenes. It also leaves out soundtracks for anything, as they are not "shadowrun music" per se, but are "soundtracks also useful for shadowrun".
I will back up Chrysalis' style, but not cover the albums she already has, since there's some crossover. My top 10: 1) Gridlock - Further. Not everybody's cup of tea, but probably one of my favorite albums of all time. Hell, ANY Gridlock album. 2) Skinny Puppy - Last Rites. 3) Decoded Feedback - Shockwave. 4) Tarmvred - SubFusC 5) GZA - Legend of the Liquid Sword. It doesn't fit with the rest of the industrial or thrashy stuff, but it has always very much struck me as appropriate. 6) VNV Nation - Empires. 7) Void Construct - Estramay Aleph (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Big Black - Songs About Fucking. Still a classic, 22 years later. 9) Machines of Loving Grace - Gilt 10) The Future Sound of London - Dead Cities |

Adarael, A good list.
I would recommend though Future Sound of London's ISDN album to Dead Cities Machines of Loving Grace's Concentration is perhaps the better album if you want a more industrial sound. Big Black's Songs About Fucking is a classic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

It might be a little pink mohawk, but I like "Loosey" by The Stripes. It is the opening theme for the "Burst Angel" anime, the mix of japanese and english seems to me what city speak would look like. Also, it is a catchy song (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

I like some of Faderhead's albums. Also Unheilig is very nice, and NIN's Left/Right albums. It depends on the style do you want more ambiance like with Gogol Bordello or more surgical fetishry like with Angelspit.

SS Trooper. I can't remember the artist's name at the moment, but it's a crazy awesome song. It depends on the situation, but I like playing various types of music to get in the mood and keep the mood of the game the way I want it. Industrial Techno, heavy metal, classical music (yes) from various artists, even the occasional dance music. I also have The Witcher Soundtrack which has a lot of good music to stress situations. There used to be an actual Shadowrun Soundtrack back in 2nd or 3rd edition. It was pretty good for the time.

this should be in all ya'lls play file, beautiful
remember you are entering a world of fantasy created by your imagination! its a place we go for refuge and where we can be somebody other than ourselves. A person in our head that can actually talk to women and aren't virgins who live with their parents. A place of solidtude where you can get away from the stress and pressures of family and work. this is a place where dreams come true (3some with Megan Fox and a young Angelina Jolie) a world of fairly tales for you! |

Dope Stars Inc. - Namely albums like Gigahearts, 10,000 Watts of Artificial Pleasure, and the EP Neuromance, but their new '21st Century Slave' has a large 'Megacorp' theme to it. ^-^
Blood Stain Child - Album: Mozaiq. Namely a melo-death band, their most recent album incorporates a lot of trance. Some songs, like Freedom and Nuclear Trance, just put me in the SR mood. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif) SNES Shadowrun, Genesis Shadowrun STs: I have 'em both, and I love 'em both. And just like previous posters, the Blade Runner ST, Ghost in the Shell: SAC, KMFDM, and Skinny Puppy all rule too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Am I a bad person if I say I like to rock out to old Queensryche songs while reading my Shadowrun books?

QUOTE ('Sconnie @ Jan 21 2010, 08:24 PM)  Am I a bad person if I say I like to rock out to old Queensryche songs while reading my Shadowrun books? Nope. Their songs like "Walk in the Shadows" and others on that album fit nicely. |
