vampywife: it depends on the game...midnight syndicate put out some pretty cool "mood" music cds a couple of years ago and those work well for dark games. the LOTR soundtracks also make good gaming music. in general, i prefer music without words, as there isn't as much to distract.

bluebehir: I wish I could play some good old heavy metal tunes, but most of my gamer friends are uninitiated or of the inverse preference. Hence no music is better than bad music. It's funny how I'm so much more tolerant than they are...
relic10: Midnight Syndicate
Gecko23: I hate background music.

onky: anything
BilboAtBagEnd: It depends on the game. A lot of abstracts I don't think I'd like music to (and it tends not to come up), although a very quite string instrument is okay. Other games, so-so. The really thematic ones (Lord of the Rings, Traumfabrik, Middle Earth CCG, Dungeoneer) really do well with appropriate theme music.
