Total War series has some really good music, also somewhat fitting if you are a (semi)rpmy old friend. The second piece is especially
strong, for the lack of a better short description. I got shogun2 recently, it probably has some great tracks too but for now I usually just remember
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, YOHOHO - YOHO, YOHOHO - YOHO
I also like various instrumental pieces for gayming or in general, which seems to be a common trend here. If playing m&b I have a slight preferrence to ones without obviously modern instruments.

The
also has some very great background tracks, they kind of blend in with the show when you watch it, but I think these are almost all pretty damn excellent on their own. Didn't really like any of the intro/outro songs, maybe the very first one kind of grew on me after a while. It also turns out to be harder than expected to find the actual tracks, instead of someones homosexual relationship with a imaginary character or some shitty remix.

Stuff some people would consider gay, it doesn't really fit m&b much but they are neat action tracks. Basically I could list several tracks from both series under this.

I tend to avoid songs (like, y'know - stuff with actual singing) while playing gaymes. That came out longer than I expected.
