Alright, I always need some sort of theme music for my characters, though we never play it in game. It helps to get me pumped to play him and helps me develop the personality more. I would like to compile a list of music that would fit with different alignments.

as of now, I've only got a few

Chaotic Evil- Disturbed
About any Chaotic(depends on the song)-Metallica, Offspring, System of a Down

Well, right now, I'm trying to find a good band for a Lawful Neutral alignment(preferably metal, or at least some kind of rock), though I'll try to keep working on the list if you have any other suggestions.

Not sure about LN... though a march would fit.

LG, though, has a few good ones.
Superman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehmFl1sjkXg), 'cause he's the Big Blue Boy Scout, after all.
More farcically, there's this gem (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS8rpt1y6lk) for the joyously boisterous Paladin in the group...

The archetypical wizard who traded his soul for power: Blind Guardian's The Soulforged (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga-q0F7oWnU) (it IS Raistlin Majere's theme anyway)

Generic knight or martial character: Battlefield (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJnYobPlBqs)

Paladin: Holy Orders III (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3Jredj3n7k)

I guess Steelgods of the Last Apocalypse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0LcPqsjBT4) would work for an LN character.

Indestructible and I'm Alive, by Disturbed, are good LN themes. "I carry out my orders without a regret," "Never again will I be dishonored," etc., etc.
The Chosen Ones, by Dream Evil, is pretty Lawful Neutral.

Holy Thunderforce, by Rhapsody, is the most Chaotic Good thing ever.

Chaotic Neutral: All the Madmen by David Bowie.
Lawful Neutral: Goon Squad by Elvis Costello (If you're feeling cynical)

That's all I can think of.

I vote Kamelot's March of Mephisto (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0yYxOV-bRU) for a Lawful Evil military type.

I think it goes without saying that Muse's Knights of Cydonia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_sBOsh-vyI) is perfect for any party's anthem. That being said I really like it for a chaotic good ranger, or any freedom fighter type.

Forgot a couple.

Lawful Evil: Low of Solipsism (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYhLlz5bK6c)

Lawful Evil (critical scene): Domine Kira (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13p_VqCVvDw)

Chaotic Good: It Doesn't Matter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTke7eiWm7Q)
Lawful Evil/Mastermind: E.G.G.M.A.N. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWiSEyU76M4) (Doc Robeatnix Remix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SITtJDz5X0))
True Neutral: I am... All of Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VpYfMxIoR4)

Not alignment-based, but here's a few for never-say-die badasses:
What I'm Made Of (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jzK-OjlwwI)
Live and Learn (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB7bMZpdrO8)
Open Your Heart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH_MCPcjxP0)

More mastermind/LE: Master of Puppets (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov9bMJETZTo) (yes, I know what it's really about, but consider it an alternative lyrical interpretation.)

My current chaotic evil character fits well with this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk3Nmu8Kq6Y.

It's a very nice sounding song, for the most part, though the lyrics are slightly tragic, and something is rather obviously wrong under the peaceful appearance, with those wierd distorts and what have you. Fits the twisted tortured character that I'm currently playing.

Anvil of Crom (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZY2mRG5mzg) :smallcool:

Play for Today (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmbOLTWggXI) by The Cure for neutral evil.

A State of Glory (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGDJmoHBUpQ&feature=related) could definitely work for a lawful neutral (or good) character.

Though you can't go wrong with Anvil of Crom - if someone says it doesn't fit, that music will jump over the table and beat them until they accept it.

The Rise of Evil (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O437RLRn95Q) would go very well for a Lawful Evil character.

First of all, I'd like to state that I have actually used that second song, frequently, to get in the right state of mind to play a paladin. (they tend to become ***** if I don't.)

Second some class specific music
Good Cleric: You Make Lovin' Fun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWFU1Yjyv5A) (Especially the refrain) by Fleetwood Mac

Chaotic Mage: I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si6Dk7Igyvk&feature=related) by the Ink Spots (I have this thing for irony)

For a cn rebel (as opposed to a cn sociopath, or a cn maniac): At the End of the Day (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxZoUARPsFc) from Les Miserable

Lets see, Lawful Neutral though... I might draw from Les Miserable again,with Stars (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROr4vdRZxpU)

Ooo, Les Mis can be used for a lot of these. How's this for NE? Dog Eats Dog (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMmqQk66TXQ&feature=related)

I tend to pick songs that provide motivation similar to that of the character. The hard one for me would be a CE character.

This is a fun game.

I made a character for this game called "Death of an Artist" who had 2 theme songs (and his cohort also had a theme song). He is a feral lesser aasimar Swordsage6/Crusader2/Monk1, headed into Master of Nine. His basic shtick is that he was too chaotic for the Lawful Good army, so they kicked him out. But he was also the celestial army's best fighter, and he kicked everyone else's butts because he knew their rigid fighting style and worked on his own to counter such a style. As a final In Your Face (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLAjKtmT3lk&videos=PlhngWqrDvI&playnext_from=TL&playnext=1) to the army that kicked him out, he challenged his CO to a duel, and whupped him using his own techniques. The game hasn't started yet, but it will begin with him flying out of the sky and landing on the party's airship after being Banned From Heaven. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4E7TjSKhLM) Also he is in a band with all the other party members, who will hire him because they need a guitarist.

His girlfriend is a Lawful Good Yoko Ono type who will tear the band apart. She totally smites evildoers (army girl), and she hates chaos, but also likes it (it's her guilty pleasure). She's a Lesser Aasimar Crusader8/Bard1, spec'd to twink her Inspire Courage. Words of creation comes in at 12th level. Perhaps she'll go Dragonborn, for DFA, but also perhaps not, because I'm not really sure how to do that, as well as the fact that in this game the optimization arms race is rapidly being won by the PCs (we're pulling cheese that would make the Pun-Pun proud). Her theme song is the Seven (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1kQ4KLZ5l0) Angels (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YImrvOz7D5g&feature=related).

EDIT: She plays the keyboards. Her weapon is a +1 Harmonizer Keyglaive, which is, I wrote in a fit of distraction, "Also an keyboard."
