I have a song list I thought would kick some serious tail:

Inspire Courage: Blow Me Away by Breaking Benjamin (Halo 2 Soundtrack): This song is the epitome of inspiring your buddies to fight on

Dragonfire Inspiration: Through Fire and Flames by DragonForce: This matches the whole "Cone of Fire" thematics perfectly

Cure: Time of Dying by Three Days Grace: Flavor-wise, kinda, but is still an awesome song

Disrupt Undead/Any damage spell: Don't Say a Word by Sonata Arctica: A lesser-known Finnish Power/Progressive Metal band and a VERY powerful song. Know the words by heart!

Will take suggestions, and may even download the songs to iTunes!

and as a side-note: Would changing the PrC Sublime Chord to being Divine-Based be okay if one was playing a Divine Bard?

I wouldn't mind provided the changes to the PrC were worked out beforehand and shown to me (I'd have to read up on the SC as well though).

I'd limit it somewhat to appropriate deities: no for an elemental or nature deity, yes for a creative/bardic deity

Would seem in tune with the theme you are looking for.

So Olidamara would be a worthwhile choice, while Ehlonna wouldn't

Depends on what one's inspired by. Some are inspired by country, others by opera, while I'm inspired by watching Metalocalypse.

And... Dragonforce!? *gently puts a hand on LuckyBoneDice's shoulder and leads us both to a private room*

For something darker and introspective, try Phillip Glass'

and the soundtrack's extended reprise
