Have you noticed, in the main wargamers tend to prefer the noisy hard rock stuff? Dr Freud might have something to say about that.  :D

And that's always been true as well. Wargamers have little taste (myself excluded obviously   8) )

AHEM !!

I have the ultimate taste.....

Ray's right though....Hard Rock seems to be the particular 'genre' that the majority ? of wargamers seem to gravitate to....(or from) ;)
What I found rather spooky, from a few years back....Was that when I put in my very first order to Amazon.....I got back a list of other items "that you might like."

The were spot on in just about every case.....From a rock CD...They could have a good guess as to the books I'd like....and a lot of other stuff.
Are we all that predictable ?....Horrifying ! ;D ;D ;D

Good to see that our friends on the forum aren't quite SO predictable.....A nice selection of albums from different eras and styles/genres.
Cheers - Phil.

You really shouldn't have let Amazon insert that chip in your head - I know it qualifies you for free postage but there's so many downsides. Of course there's nothing to worry about with the GW chip that I have inserted. Now, must be off to buy more trolls for The Hobbit...

It is possible that other genuinely music-loving gamers have chosen not to stand up and be counted. I can't believe I'm the only one.

Grieg's Peer Gynt has always been a favourite since school music classes but never moved me as much as the Clash or the Pistols did at the time. We had some Grieg playing at my mums funeral - brilliantly moving stuff, but I am not the same person as I was 30 odd years ago which is the point of the thread  ;)

Teenage kicks and all that  :D

We played Cole Porter at my father's funeral.

Not at all. Dvorak and Mahler were always favourites of mine. And The Ride of the Valkyries at full blast on the motorway late at night is almost guaranteed to bring up blue flashing lights in your rear-view mirror. :d
