Dreakon139 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Back in the day, I used to listen to a lot of radio while I played games. As we all know, the radio tends to re-play the same popular songs over and over again... so if I would play a game at roughly the same time each day, I'd hear the same songs. As a result of this, whenever I would hear certain songs, my mind would immediately link the song to the game I was playing and it still does 10 years later. I'm not talking genre's of music, or certain bands. I'm talking specific songs reminding you of specific games. The two becoming linked in your mind even if there's nothing remotely similar about them. Maybe I'm just unusual though lol, so we'll see how people respond to this thread. Personally, the song 'Yellow' from Coldplay always makes me think about Resident Evil Code Veronica. I used to hear it on the radio every damn time I played the game, and now the two are forever one in my mind. Listening to 'Yellow' today at work has given me an uncontrollable urge to get the new HD release of Code Veronica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Listening to Led Zeppelin I reminds me of Gran Turismo 3. I used to have a stereo system in my game room that would automatically change discs when the previous disc was over. Well, something on it broke and it wouldn't change discs anymore, and I didn't feel like getting up and changing it manually during the races so I'd let it replay the first Zeppelin album over and over as I raced endurance races in GT3.

Azakos Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 In a different way, "Paradise City" by Guns N' Roses reminds me of Burnout Paradise, if that doesn't sound obviously stupid. It's the theme of the game and comes up a lot as one of the in-game tracks. This song gets around on the radio here and there, and it's funny that I end up singing along to it while driving a car haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zairozen Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Lights and Sounds by Yellowcard always played during Tony Hawk Shred. And some other yellow card songs came up on SSX Tricky, and Out of Bounds. I always associate that band to both if those games now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spark-N Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Some bands that remind me of certain games ar Feeder reminds me of GT as there song used to be on the advert for GT3 all the time, plus i love the band Black Eyed Peas remind me of The Sims Bustin' Out grrr that game could have been good if it wasnt for the reaaaaalllly long loading times and the one annoying song that played all the time Yellowcard reminds me of SSX as its the only song i would listen to while playing them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 If put in any ska-ish bands like The Ernies or Goldfinger, I'll immediately think of Tony Hawk 1. It's just been burned into my brain after all those years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlteredFormula Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 The whole album of "When life gives you lemons, you paint that shit gold" by Atmosphere reminds me of a ton of games that I was playing at the time. This springs to mind as I was only going through my Atmosphere albums earlier this evening. To be honest I wish more PS3 games supported music from your playlists, as when I used to own an Xbox I rarely listened to the ingame music when I could have my own playlist running. The other album I listen to a lot when playing racing games is Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... saying that though, I listen to that album more than any other album I own or ever will own.

RHGSniperFox Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Rise Against - Give It All immediately brings forth memories of barreling down the freeway in Need For Speed Underground 2. Same goes for Element Eighty's "Broken Promises" and Need For Speed Underground. And, like Deth above, every time I hear Primus' "Jerry Was A Racecar Driver" - I think of faceplanting in the warehouse of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, that one, or The Vandals' "Euro Barge".

Dreakon139 Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_UnvUsAjCs and Another example of two things that really shouldn't go together, but will forever be bonded in my mind because I tend to re-play songs I newly discover and enjoy like a million times... and it's usually while playing games.

HeyItsSpanky Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I think of NFS: Underground every time I hear "Get Low" by Lil Jon... That song played non-stop in that game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
