Breakfast Topic: Listening to music while playing WoW

I love WoW's soundtrack, but sometimes it just loops too much. I need something that'll keep me awake, excited, and bouncing between pulls in a dungeon. I realized when I started looking for stuff in my playlist that the songs depended very much on what I was playing (warrior, healer, low-level alt) and what I was doing (grinding, dungeon, leveling).

Here are four ways that I incorporate music to my play:

Leveling Undead I found that listening to The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack was a hilarious addition to leveling an Undead character. The lyrics, "This is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween!" added magic to spotting skeletal fish in a lake.

Leveling Draenei/Night ElfThe Lord of the Rings soundtrack or Pirates of the Caribbean or Beats Antique are epic songs for these races, no matter where you are in Azeroth. Epic!

Dungeon DPS/warrior Black Sabbath or any heavy metal! Keeps me awake between pulls. Also, techno music works.

Dungeon healing Pink Floyd keeps me calm, cool, and relaxed. Plus, I don't feel the irresistible urge to jump around as I do when listening to heavy metal.

There you have it! What I like to listen to when I play. What do you like to listen to?
