What do you listen to while playing Tetris?

[NOISEassault]

I'll listen to pretty much anything, but it seems that psytrance stuff tends to help me focus better.

[jujube]

i hardly ever listen to music when i play tetris. but when i used to play typomino it would drive me crazy, so i would put on some Steve Vai, Santana, or Tom Petty (Wildflowers CD start to finish, every song is good).

HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR - Ichirin no hana ~huge hollow mix~ (weeeaboooooo alert D: )
Bob Marley - Three Little Birds


Most of them are fast and make me try to match the bpm — especially that Bob Marley jam — it's really fast!   Then I misdrop like it's my job.

I think you'll have to drop the Bob Marley when you get better. It's definitely not 2.5 pieces per second paced stuff IMO.
Good song though.

I listen mostly rock it helps sometimes if its fast paced some examples would be:
Dark Chest Of Wonders - Nightwish
Violence Fetish - Disturbed
etc etc

No no, that's for when I'm playing "elevated *coughdrugscough* Tetris   I was being silly by saying it's very fast.

For example, Transaminasi by Sirio is 194 BPM which is 3.233... beats/second    Terror of my speedcore is about 2.7 beats/second.

HURRAY NIGHTWISH!

[Pineapple]

I generally listen to whatever music the game that I'm playing has, and often find myself humming a harmony line to the music, especially if the music is rather simple. For some reason, it helps me to concentrate...

[SiRTeTRiS]

Gonna have to go with Daft Punk, RJD2, Rob Dougan...usually most anything fast paced though.

[oliv]

Lil Wayne - carter III album

pandora radio

[tepples]

Usually the default background music of the game I'm working on. So:
Mozart's "Leck mich im Arsch" canon in B-flat (K. 231).
As in "yes, I put Ti rotation and lockdown rules into an NES game, so kiss my bottom Arika".

When I play Klax? Speed metal.

that's for when I'm playing "elevated *coughdrugscough* Tetris

Elevated as in a GBA game with music vaguely reminiscent of Mechanical Animals-era Marilyn Manson?

[Magnanimous]

I usually go for more casual jazz/funk when I play... Metal's nice, but I'm a lot better at Tetris when I'm relaxed.  Lately I've been listening to Galactic - I just have to remember to skip certain songs, or the tempo changes will throw me off.

Witch Doctor - Galactic
