Clash of the Titans (1981):
I need a soundtrack for a dungeon-crawling adventure with the vibe of a cheesy 1980s fantasy movie

I have them all, including the latest single, “There is Still Good in You.” The Magic Sword just keeps getting better with every release.

80s rock is probably a good pick given its bombastic nature.
You could use a Transformers track before any iron golems show up.

Now, you also might try Loot the Body on Bandcamp... They created music for the rpg Skate Wizards...

Take inspiration for suggesting Bandcamp.
Gotta love a band that has songs named "White Plume Mountain," "Dwellers of the Forbidden City," "Castle Amber," "Tomb of Horrors," "Ravenloft" and "The Keep on the Borderlands" and an entire concept album centered around Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.
Most of their stuff appears to have lyrics, so not suitable for background music, IMO, but a great way to intro and close out a session, especially when playing in one of the named modules.

This is really strong, but it doesn't look like the full version is available anywhere, sadly.

I think this is going to be the winner for today's game. It's a little silly while clearly trying to be a Serious Business adventure soundtrack. It's also fully available both on iTunes and YouTube.
Thanks, everyone. You all get 100 xp and the gnome wizard gives you each a 25 gold piece reward.

The ultimate dungeon crawling metal anthem ("Riot in the Dungeons" by Yngwie J. Malmsteen,1988)? Would be especially suitable for the old A-series modules. Even has a synth solo!
Excerpt:
Trapped behind bars, prisoners of death
All hope is ours, we can't give up yet
Ready to fight to get what we need
Die on your feet or live on your knees.
Oh, I feel something coming
Looks like a riot in the dungeon
You stand and die or start your running
'Cause there's a riot in the dungeon.

For OpenQuest I use either of these (US & Euro):

If I wanted a proper cheesy 80s fantasy movie vibe, Deathstalker is a pretty terrible movie, but not a terrible soundtrack:
My preference, though, would be for Chuck Cirino's Deathstalker 2 soundtrack, but that doesn't seem to be on YouTube.

Heck yeah. It's perfect - cheap synths trying to create epic medieval music.
I have it on a split CD with the Chopping Mall soundtrack.

Found this interesting article, which sadly has lost several of its example images, but enough are there to see the differences!
