[VeryGooster]

"Sugar" - System of a Down with Madden 09 or 10

"Dragula" - Rob Zombie with Jet Set Radio

"Mother" - Danzig with GTA San Andreas

"Heavy" - Collective Soul with NHL 2001

 

[Falchion]

Power - Saint's Row the Third

I remember watching that E3 trailer and was so hyped for the game. Then when I played it and it was triggered on the mission where you have to take your penthouse back, sooooooooo good.

 

[GGNKovalski]

Life is Strange:

Jose Gonzalez - Crosses (Episode One/Episode Two)
Alt-j - Something Good (Episode Two)
Local Natives - Mt Washington (Episode Two)
Mogwai - Kids Will Be Skeletons (Episode Three)
Foals - Spanish Sahara (Episode Five)

This. Everytime I hear these songs I get emotional. Spanish Sahara especially.

 

[Lynx_7]

Way to Fall is MGS3 to me, up there with the title track itself. Sometimes I even forget it's not really an MGS song.
To a lesser degree, The Man Who Sold the World will always remind me of The Phantom Pain from now on, specially Midge Ure's cover which will forever give me flashbacks to the hospital sequence (huge props to the cover btw, he sounds so much like David Bowie there that I actually thought it was just a remixed version of the original track).

 

[paragonpro]

Tnt by acdc makes me think of tony hawks pro skater 4. Also mountain song by janes addiction is burnout paradise for me

 

[Uncle Moe]

Police Truck, Dead Kennedys, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

 

[dfa records]

"I Ran" - Flock of Seagulls : Vice City

The GOAT

 

[Easy_D]

This song *is* NHL 96 for me. That game was damn good, one of my favourite SNES games easily.

In game version

 

[Ryman]

Power - Saint's Row the Third

This is what I was going to post. The song fits the scene so well.

 

[CrashPrime]

The Cardigans - My Favourite Game is definetly Gran Turismo 2.

I came in to post this wildcard.

Tony Hawk 1 & 2 are obligatory.
Ace of Spades & Bring Da Noise are the two that stick out to me.

Crazy Taxi is The Offspring. Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah!

I guess my pick is Need for Speed Underground 2: Snoop Dogg and The Doors - Riders on the Storm.

 

[Adam Blue]

Space Jam theme and Dark Souls

lol love this. This was the intro music to my Dark Souls podcast I did for a little bit.

 

[Giolon]

Adagio for Strings will forever be associated with Homeworld for me.

 

[Violence Jack]

Holding out for a Hero - Saints Row the Third (perfect for the ending mission)
Billie Jean, Broken Wings, And the Beat Goes On, Africa, etc.... - Vice City
Heart Shaped Box - Infamous Second Son
Man Who Sold The World - MGSV
Moon River - Bayonetta 2
September by Earth, Wind, and Fire - Elite Beat Agents
My Hands - Final Fantasy XIII
Super Bon Bon, Sex Type Thing, All I Want Is You - Gran Turismo 2

 

[jondabomb]

I associate "Mad World" with Gears just from its trailer.

There's also a couple others from sports games like 'TNT' in Tony Hawk

Bad Company 2:Vietnam

Man I miss that game

 

[dottme]

It might be early, but seven nation army is now closely link to battlefield for me now

 

[UberTag]

I always associate I Ran (So Far Away) by A Flock of Seagulls with GTA Vice City. I sometimes even consider it the games theme track as it was used in alot of it's marketing.

Yep, this is the track that always sticks in my mind when I think of Vice City.

 

[KingofGourds]

Misery Business by Paramore
Knights by Minus the Bear


Whenever I hear either of these I'm immediately thrown back into Saints Row 2.

 

[Easy_D]

Another I thought of is Alpinestar's Snow Patrol, which will forever be assosciated with SSX3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ynO4n7_PVI

Good song, fits really well when you're boarding down the highest mountain top, such a fantastic game, wish someone would just rip the concept off wholesale.

 

[Apathy]

I just remembered this cause it hit my playlist, but Make it Bun Dem by Skrillex and Damian Marley is synonymous to me now with Far Cry 3 and burning the field

 

[royox]

Anything Two steps from hell do = Mass Effect or Swtor.

Almost every trailer of both are from them:

ME2 Heart of Courage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2O-0-fQOOs


ME3 Protectors of the earth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AluTOOCVXVQ

ME3 Omega: Strength of a thousand men
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28UgSPUkAss

SWTOR Smuggler Trailer. Norwerian Pirates
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up9crByjT8Y


It's just so good dammit.

 

[komplanen]

Kinda cheap to pick something from GTA but first thing to come to mind:
Kanye West - Flashing Lights (GTA IV)

A lot of songs like Let the Bodies Hit the Floor by Drowning Pool I associate with the old WoW PvP vids.

 

[Madame M]

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

Spoiler

Chrono Trigger

 

[thefragrance]

The music by Oneohtrix Point Never has always reminded me of video game music. I always associated his last album with Bloodborne.

Excerpt from a track:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVO8fbXmPlc

In one interview, talking about this track I think he said something about liking this weird idea of aliens of higher intelligence indifferent to humans, like animals in a zoo while a king and queen sat hopeless in their thrones. I was like yup, Bloodborne.

This other song just makes me think of Uematsu and Final Fantasy:
