Classical Music

B787_300 · May 20, 2013

So while playing KSP, I have Pandora/Spotify/Youtube playing in the background playing what can losly be described as Classical Music. Generally I like the old stuff (Bach, Beethoven, Handel, Holst, Pachobel(yes, this is spelled wrong forgive me), Mozart). But, I also like Soundtracks to movies, stuff by people like Zimmer, Williams, Goldsmith, Horner, etc...

So my question is, What semi classical song do you listen to while playing KSP?

Ill start it off

I like Verdi's "Anvil Chorus" and Poledouris's "Anvil of Krom" when I'm putting together rockets.

The soundtracks to Star Trek II and Star Trek VI are chock-full of tracks that are fun while I'm launching/maneuvering.

That's a start.

after that you will be permanently cured of the opera bug.

I've never been hugely into classical music, and I'm still not really, but since watching 2001 the Blue Danube Waltz has had a certain magic to me. Also like In the Hall of the Mountain King.

Just so EVERYONE knows, that song (orchestral, not metal) is my favorite song EVER.

i am a metalhead, and not just any metal but extreme metal. therion is easy listening to me. hell, slayer is easy listening to me. but classical music is certainly worth listening to. not something i listen to alot, but its still good.

metal takes on classical songs are great for the most part, as long as they dont start adding words... also the British have great military music...

I hate classical, but military marches... They have a certain quality to them that makes you buck up and work hard. My favourites are from the Axis powers back when Axis powers were called Axis powers, but I like 'em all.
