Hey Guys,

I'm quite new to gaming, well to be honest I had the original XBox but then stopped playing games for a while but you will be glad to know a month ago I bought an XBox 360 and I'm back into gaming again, my favourites being Skate, Pure and Tiger Woods 2009.

Anyway enough about me to my question, has any console or computer inspired you to buy a music track or album from the music playing in the background of the game ?

I have just bought The Funeral by Band of Horses, I had never heard of Band of Horses until I started playing Skate, I think it's a great tune.

iTunes Link : The Funeral - Band of Horses

Large - Keep Smiling ! :)

THPS2 had a fanstastic sound track, RATM :heart:

Good Call!! The THPS2 soundtrack shaped my musical tastes entirely, it was where i first heard RATM - (title song was Guerrilla Radio) and i haven't looked back since. :D (Thinking about it i can only have been 9 at the time XD)

Aside from that some of the tunes in FFVII are still firmly lodged in my head but i wouldn't listen to them if not playing the game.

Video Games reintroduced me to classical and orchestral as a genre, which I've been enjoying ever since. I also listen to a lot of Video Game OSTs (most notably Zelda and Shadow of the Collosus). However, Video Games have never really introduced me to a particular band, with the exception of Tony Hawks Downhill Jam, which introduced me to Damone (which funnily enough, the only song of theirs I like is the song on THDJ :p).

Hi Guys,

It seems a few of you like the music from Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2, I'll have to check out some of the tracks.

I had some of the Tony Hawks Pro Skater games on the original XBox but they will probably not be played again now that Skate has arrived and also Skate 2 arriving early next year, which is looking totally cool !

Large - Keep Smiling ! :)

I really enjoyed the music in the first Flatout game - a bunch of good indie bands - Adrenaline, No Connection, LAB, and others. Other than that, only Driver: Parallel Lines has inspired me to go out and buy music (a few tracks - Blondie's One Way or Another, Kaiser Chief's Oh My God, The Strangler's Peaches, and a couple others) - the 70's era music in that game was just great.

I enjoyed the BF: Vietnam soundtrack, which got me into a phase of listening to rock from that period.

Exact same thing happened to me, I had never really paid any attention to those songs before that game. I also liked the main theme from Morrowind, Halo and some of the Hitman stuff
