[QUOTE="Theron, post: 3899666, member: 2326"] Warning: The first part of this isn't going to help. I can't hear the song "Hold the Line" by Toto without having a D&D flashback to New Year's Eve, 1978, sitting in my bedroom (at my parents' house - I was 15) listening to the radio while I was keying a new level for the dungeon I was going to spring on my buddies when school started back up. Told you it wouldn't help. ;) In an attempt to be more helpful, here's the stuff I was more typically listening to in my first few years of gaming (late 70s, especially early 80s): Blue Oyster Cult Black Sabbath Judas Priest Hawkwind KISS UFO Ozzy Osbourne Saxon Iron Maiden Tygers of Pan Tang Motorhead Rush Songs of particular significance: BOC's "Black Blade" and "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" ("Stormbringer" was my game of choice almost the moment it came out), Rush's "By-Tor and the Snow Dog" and "2112," everything on Ozzy's "Diary of a Madman" album, and the entirety of Maiden's "Number of the Beast" album. I did not inhale. In my area, stoners and gamers didn't socialize. It was only several years later that I learned that many of the stoners were closet gamers. Snacks consisted of chips and cokes, I think. At my age, I can barely remember what I had for breakfast yesterday, much less what I ate while killing orcs twenty five years ago. [/QUOTE]
