Well, classical music is ahead right now, so I already started looking for something appropriate. But in any way, here's what I would consider choosing for each category:
[*] Rock Music: Would be instrumental sections of melodic pieces. I would definately include the introduction solo of Iron Maiden's song about Alexander the Great (from the "Somewhere in Time" album), but then... Iron Maiden's a good choice for some guitar solos, I would propably use something from "The Nomad" on the "Brave New World" album. Other than that, propably something from Queen, particularily from the "Innuendo" album.
One other choice might be Jimi Hendrix...?
[*] Classical Music: It's quite tough. I decided against Wagner because his pieces are just too-well known, but I have some runners up. Dvorak would be excellent if I hadn't used his best for "Artaxerxes" already (however I could re-use them, dunno). Other than that, Tchaikovsky's intro from "1812", or perhaps also the rest, I haven't really gone into that. Any suggestions?
Maybe I could include some Oriental Music at places where they fit...
[*] Movie Soundtrack: Anything by John Williams would be good, though as complete soundtracks by him I only have "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade". These are good, but if anyone has seen these movies a couple of times he just knows the music, and besides, they were composed for action movies and thus wouldn't really fit. "Gladiator" is the only other Soundtrack I have in whole, and while the music is partially quite good, it's a bit too sentimental at some times.
Other than that, I have some excerpts from other movies, like "Ben Hur", "Spartacus", plus some Science Fiction films like "Star Wars", "Superman" and so on.

I voted for classical/orchestral. While some rock may make for a better choice, most rock songs are cheesy
pop-cultral gingle fads with a popularity that may sky rocket for a month or so then fade away into a forgotten abyss
(where most of them belong). Although some (very few) rock groups produced in my opinion some of the best music
I've ever heard, the genre as a whole really stinks, so I can't really trust someone elses music tastes. However,
classical music are pieces of timeless classics.  It's all good, you can't go wrong. |
I agree wih you, particularily because Rock Music is a matter of taste. I'm already expecting the first anti-Iron Maiden voices

Don´t add any music, it´s a waste of time and space. Stick to good sound effects, they´re much more important. If
you really feel the need to have music, just add the names of some songs in your readme that you find appropriate.
People could then (download and) play those if they feel like it. |
Well, yes, that's an option I've thought of myself. I will keep the game sounds and music sounds in sepparate files, so that everyone who feels like it can download them.
