Here we go, added some more songs to my playlist and updated them with links. Half of the experience in SSX is quality music to ride to. One way of testing music is to open up one of the gameplay videos and set it to mute, then play the music of your choice in the background and see how it sounds/looks. Think I'm done for now. :P

This is a great thread, and one I'll be checking back into again quite often. I'm off snowboarding next week, and could do with adding some new stuff to go riding with as well as some great ideas for a custom playlist for the game.

I love your username, and by this post I'm also assuming you're a Prog Metal fan. I like you!

Been doing that since September :lol. Last time I checked, I think I had 2 hours worth of custom music that I might put on the 360. :O
 
Starting to make a list now. Trying to categorize songs by genres (so that the final list will be easier to look at) but it's very hard to do. A good number of songs that have been suggested don't fit into one particular genre.

then I encourage you to get her full album of the same name, I was lukewarm on it at first but after a couple days I fell in love with it. Also she's on tour right now in NA! Gives great shows ! :]

SIDE NOTE: A lot of YT posts in this thread so i recommend running this grease monkey extension:

Maybe we should which mode we think it would work best in (Trick It, Race It, Deadly Descent). We know there are certain songs already in the game that are meant for certain modes, I would think we would be able to differentiate.

Just a suggestion to make things even more interesting. :) I'm thinking of some songs I want to post.

Good idea. I'll try to do that.

Here's a few more songs I came up with:

BeachesBeaches- "Got Feel"

Grouplove - "Tounge Tied"

Ellie Goulding - "Starry Eyed (Jakwob Remix)"

Hudson Mohawke - "Rising 5"

Eliot Lipp - "Yeah"

Headnodic feat. The Procussions - "The Drive"

Little Brother - "Carolina Agents (inst.)"
 
Here's my starting point for a custom soundtrack. I've been listening to it on my iPhone and making mental notes about what I want to swap for a different song from the same band, songs I think are perfect fits, and songs I might drop from the list.

Taking some inspiration from the SSX On Tour soundtrack, which I really liked due to it's focus on rock (especially indie) over electro/techno/house/whatever.

Techno etc
Anamanaguchi - Mess
Anamanaguchi - My Skateboard Will Go On
Daft Punk - Derezzed
Girl Talk - Don't Stop
Girl Talk - Hands in the Air
Justice - D.A.N.C.E. (awesome)
LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk is Playing at My House (from SSX On Tour)
Passion Pit - Little Secrets
Sleigh Bells - Infinity Guitars (might swap)

Indie/Alt Rock
Arctic Monkeys - Brianstorm
The Black Keys - Gold on the Ceiling
Bloc Party - Helicopters
The Courteeners - Not Nineteen Forever
Everclear - El Distorto De Melodica (awesome instrumental)
fun. - All The Pretty Girls
The Hives - No Pun Intended
The Hold Steady - Ask Her for Adderall
The Long Winters - (It's A) Departure
Matt & Kim - Cameras
Maximo Park - Our Velocity
The New Pornographers - Your Hands [Together]
OK Go - White Knuckles
Phoenix - 1901
The Raconteurs - Salute Your Solution
Sex Bob-omb - Threshold
Silversun Pickups - Panic Switch
Telekinesis - Car Crash
We Are Scientists - Inaction (might swap for Lousy Reputation, which was in SSX On Tour)

Punk
Death - Keep on Knocking
Less Than Jake - Summon Monsters
Motion City Soundtrack - Boombox Generation (might swap)
Rehasher - Lift!
The Swellers - Welcome Back Riders

Hip-Hop/Rap
Childish Gambino - Bonfire
Das Racist - You Oughta Know (best song for this mix from my listens so far)
Gym Class Heroes - 1st Period: The Queen and I (good but I might swap it)
Big Boi & Cutty - Shutterbug [Team Teamwork Super Metroid Remix] (hell yes)

Please offer any suggestions/recommendations for my list :)

Edit: Made a bunch of changes (swapped most of the songs I thought I would) and the mix is a lot tighter now. Also added a few songs from this thread. I can't believe I forgot Passion Pit's "Little Secrets". That song reminds me of Sonic 2's Chemical Zone, I love it.
 
Rock/Alt-Rock/Whatever
Foster the People - "Helena Beat"
Rage Against the Machine - "Guerilla Radio"
Incubus - "Pardon Me"
Silversun Pickups - "Checkered Floor"/"Future Foe Scenarios"
Two Door Cinema Club - "Undercover Martyn"
M83 - "Midnight City"
Phoenix - "1901"/"Too Young"
Taking Back Sunday - "Timberwolves at New Jersey"
Yellowcard - "Soundtrack"

Rap/Hip-hop
A Tribe Called Quest - "Check The Rhime"/"Can I Kick It?"
The Pharcyde - "Otha Fish"/"Drop"
Kid Cudi - "Maniac"/"Up Up and Away"
Kanye West - "Good Life"/"Diamonds from Sierra Leone"
Lupe Fiasco - "The Instrumental"
Cunninlynguists - "Embers"/"Stars Shine Brightest"
Nas - "Memory Lane"
AZ - "Rather Unique"
GZA - "1112"
Raekwon - "Criminology"
Ghostface Killah - "Mighty Healthy"
Wu Tang - "Triumph"
Jay Z - "D'Evils"
Notorious BIG - "The What"

Well, this is what I'll be listening to anyway.
 
I've got a pretty long list going (partially thanks to this thread)

here's one that hasn't been mentioned yet that I'll definitely be pumping up:


Justice vs Simian - We are Your Friends




edit.... can somebody just confirm that this IS heading to PC? I thought 100% sure it was, but I can't find a pre-order for it ANYWHERE. que la fuck?
