The greatest dnd-related song?

[Necro_EX]

I've seen that 'Roll a d6' all over the place. I saw it on /tg/ a while back and now I've seen two threads here about it. So, I thought to get everyone's opinion on this matter. I know some of you liked Roll a d6, I know a certain doctor likes White and Nerdy (Though, does it make mention of dnd?), and of course there's that lovely Lynch song.

Buuut, what about this classic? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waa2ucfgVgQ)

So, Playground. What's your favorite?

D&D by Stephen Lynch

[Forum Explorer]

Always the first to die (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMLcy86bZNw&feature=related) not the greatest but its a D&D song.

[Zaydos]

Cloak of Elvenkind (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFG5Dd6EF1k) by Marcy Playground is a good one. Not my favorite, but it is nicely different from the likes of Never Split the Party.

How 'bout this? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc3byq9y_OQ)

Here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198167)'s a selection of songs (or rather, songs rewritten, but not yet performed) created by the members of this very forum.

[Flame of Anor]

I nominate the ending credits song from The Gamers: Dorkness Rising, which is of course the best D&D movie ever made.

Considering the major competition is from basically the film Dungeons & Dragon, that isn't saying much.

[Combat Reflexes]

The metalband Rhapsody of Fire was more or less formed because of d&d. They produced music for their own sessions IIRC :smallamused:

Unholy Warcry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLe1G7WBNkE&feature=fvst)

fast-forward to 4:30 if you don't like waiting. (who does?)

Hey! What happened to the Gamers I? I still prefer the first :smallbiggrin:

[Eldan]

Well, the second one, don't know, feels more like a real movie. Higher production values. Plus, they were allowed to actually use D&D terms.

I agree, Rhapsody of Fire is a great source of awesome music, with the added bonus of actually having a unique setting for it all. Also, Christopher Lee, of course. Everyone should listen to The Magic of the Wizard's Dream. Truly one of the most beautiful songs ever made.

[Necro_EX]

Ha! That's crazy, I just watched both Gamers movies back to back last night, followed by Wizards.

Also, Unholy Warcry was pretty great. I'm diggin' this band.

DND by Semisonic. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9erEJmIohA)

The best thing about it? It's nothing to do with D&D, but it sounds exactly like it is and once you hear it that way it's impossible to think it means anything else. :smallbiggrin:

Also, so awesome that Unholy Warcry comes from D&D. Did not realise, but it completely makes sense. Isn't that the one with Christopher Lee in too?

[Flame of Anor]

And it has Monte Cook in it.

If we're going down that road: D&D! I'm dyna-mite! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPJOV3PUg4o) :smallbiggrin:

Really? What is he playing?

[Necro_EX]

I'm livin' on a roll and a prayer! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEqSoxjFDB0&feature=feedf)

Man, I love Hot Waffles. I was unaware of this song 'til very recently.

[BiblioRook]

A certain song from Tripod (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IgVPnhmVNE) has always been a favorite of mine

[Eldan]

Not as good as a few of the other ones, but lowstat (http://magnusretail.com/music/lowstat.mp3) is funny.

Heh. This is funny.

[ImaginaryGirl]

My favorite is "Screw You, DM" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL1YqW35V6w) by Dan the Bard. Mostly because I swear I was in a campaign JUST like that.

Edit: There's also this little gem (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA9wM81WgS0) brought to us from the folks behind Dorkness Rising.

[Zain]

I've always preferred Roll a D6 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54VJWHL2K3I)

[Orsen]

This song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0rV88Ev-og) only has two dnd references in it, but it's also from a great and popular band and one of the best albums from the 90's (In my humble opinion).

[Sequinox]

In The Garage - Weezer. I'm not sure if it's already been mentioned, but it's on the Blue Album which makes it the best by default.

[Necro_EX]

Not as good as a few of the other ones, but lowstat (http://magnusretail.com/music/lowstat.mp3) is funny.

Lowstat is pretty funny. I'm diggin' this one.

[Radar]

"Never split the party" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waa2ucfgVgQ) seems to hit one of the most important points about D&D.

[ben-zayb]

Dunno if this (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/dnd) qualifies as one, but i sure like the humor. :smallbiggrin:

Thanks very much Mazeburn! I'm new to this forum and to real D&D in general but I grew up playing the Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights series, so I have a very rudimentary knowledge of how the game works. Long story short, my friends and I used to talk about this song and one friend argued that it was about D&D because his older brother played it, etc... Anyway it popped into my head yesterday and I was totally unable to remember which band had done it. It's nice to hear the song again and get some closure on what it's about... I hear DND means "Do not Disturb" not "D&D", sadly. :smallwink:

[suha52]

Well Best- Romeo & Juliet by Dire Straits. Worse- That Orvill Song

[warty goblin]

The fact that we can get to page two without mentioning Lake of Tears' classic Raistlin and the Rose (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oywjqkBVLg4) is disturbing.

[Moak]

Well, I don't know if it is considered D&D related (even if the Dragonlance are the novelization of a D&D campaign).

If it count, The Soulforged (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dBBuOdxTU8) by Blind Guardian, is a song about Raistlin. And I LOVE it.

[JoshL]

I'm partial to I'm a F***king Wizard (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=conXJx0I8CQ) by mc chris, obviously NSFW language there
