So I did something like this before with character classes, and that was pretty fun. So we'll do it with everyone's favorite topic that definitely isn't controversial in any way.

So what songs do you think describe a particular alignment?

Lawful Good: Light in the Black by Sabaton (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HLNMfCBUb0)
Neutral Good: Gates of Glory by Twilight Force (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyhOo-yIpEE)
Chaotic Good: Resist and Bite by Sabaton (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGtEH1i78sI)
Lawful Neutral: Back in Control by Sabaton (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gHdWBK1724)
True Neutral: TV Static by A TV that can't find a signal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0I4mTEdAf8)
Chaotic Neutral: Breaking the Law by Judas Priest (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEy6ThJwE3s)
Lawful Evil: Rise of Evil by Sabaton (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTUSkI-v2LU)
Neutral Evil: Can't think of one
Chaotic Evil: Master of Puppets by Metallica (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnKhsTXoKCI)

Looking at this list, it reminds me that I've been listening to a lot of metal recently. But that's completely off topic

Do you have any that are good?

Thanks. I'm not sure if this was a good action, since you selflessly helped me, or an evil one since this song is evil aligned. :smallsmile:

For alternates, Javert's half of the confrontation as LN. Master of the House for CE. Shake it off by Taylor Swift for True Neutral. Only the good die young for NE. The Bishop (Les Mis) for LG. Last Midnight (Into the Woods) for CN. Killer Queen by Queen for LE. Not sure about the other two.

LG (or any good really): The Impossible Dream (The Quest) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfHnzYEHAow)


To Dream, the Impossible Dream
To Fight, the Unbeatable Foe
To Bear, with Unbearable Sorrow
To Run, where The Brave Dare Not Go
To Right, the Unrightable Wrong
To Try, when Your Arms Are Too Weary
To Reach, the Unreachable Star

Although currently my brain instinctively pairs it with Jekyll & Hyde Confrontation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsfpDpPaX_g). Read into that what you will.

"Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns n Roses is my go-to Chaotic Evil song.

Mmm, "Mr. Evil" by Freedom Call fits both the LE and NE themes quite well.
As does "Planet Hell" and "She is my Sin" by Nightwish, to think of it.

For other Alignments, lemme check once I`m home.

The Cuxshadows are my go-to for Lawful Good. They have lots of songs about devotion and sacrifice. Here's my favorite; Sophia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCZ00NYqjSY)

Definite Lawful Good Theme Song: If your paladin doesn't sing this regularly in this exact voice, there is something wrong with him. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ2v9JwAens)

I think "Hero" by Heather Dale fits LG much better.

Iced Earth "Coming Curse" fits pretty much any Evil character.

Iced Earth "Something Wicked" fits NE fairly well.

Really, the entire Javert/Valjean dynamic is an excellent discourse into LN vs. CG.

While it may have a few too many RL references for some tastes, it’s hard to ignore “Sympathy for the Devil” as a LE theme contender.

I rather like Joan Jett's "Bad Reputation" for Chaotic Neutral.

Sorry, for playing Chaotic Neutral.

The Beatles "Revolution" is pretty Chaotic Good.

Although I would more call Valjean NH. Also, does anyone else always hear the phrase "the Bishop" in the exact tone and voice as it is said in the Monty Python bit about... THE BISHOP.:smallbiggrin:

Came for showtunes recommendations. Was not disappointed. Was very pleased with use of Les Mis and Man of La Mancha. Was surprised at the mention of Jekyll & Hyde. Apparently some people do like that one. Huh.

Will offer this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQQSQOrVknw), not for an alignment specifically, but rather for an alignment shift from Good to Evil.

Will offer this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkhcTznn2ME) for Lawful Evil, since it pretty much embodies the idea of temptation and Faustian pacts.

Will offer this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0bcRCCg01I), also, for Lawful Evil, because John Williams had to get inspired someplace.

Will offer this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77A3Xorat5k), also also, for Lawful Evil, because The Master.

Finally, will offer this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5pnoSgIuVo) for Lawful Evil, because Fantasia got it right.

I disagree with Metallica's "Master Of Puppets" for Chaotic Evil. That song is about how cocaine ultimately controls and dominates your life, into a downward spiral that culminates in your death. The bridge, specifically, is from the voice of the addict, pleading for the promised rewards implicit in cocaine's high, with a final plea of "fix me" that drains away.

It's 100% about detrimental (and ultimately fatal) domination and control, not really a "chaotic" kind of thing.

CN- Mr. Policeman by Brad Paisley

CN- Mr. Policeman by Brad Paisley
CE- Back in Black by AC/DC

What?

Back in Black is about bouncing back from tragedy. AC/DC came BACK after the death of lead singer Bon Scott (hence in Black = in mourning).

T.N.T. by AC/DC, on the other hand...
"Lock up your daughter. Lock up your wife. Lock up your back door, and run for your life..."
That's pretty CE

CE- Back in Black by AC/DC

Like others have said, I fail to the the connection to CE with Back in Black. There are plenty of other AC/DC songs you can use, I'm not sure why you picked that one.

I was going to suggest that one, but you beat me to it!

CG: "Do You Hear the People Sing?" from Les Miserables

LE: The Imperial March

"On the Rise" from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog has two different voice parts: one would work really well for NG and the other for NE.

*sigh*
That song is about a person who sells REVENGE in a mercenary fashion. He paints himself as a champion of those who are downtrodden, but willing to do the dirty work that those people are not. More CN than CE.

I put this on a previous thread for a paladin theme song, but since all paladins are lawful good (I know it was changed, but I don't care) the song Beer for my Horses by Toby Keith (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXW7orisYtw) works as a lawful good theme song.

Well, a lot more I could say but I'm going to stick to a few highlights:
Lawful Neutral: Kraftwerk - Die Roboter/The Robots.I never thought "stiff as a board acting" could be used as a complement, but it works magnificently.


Voltaire - When You're Evil? [...] Sophia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCZ00NYqjSY)There is a very interesting contrast between those two songs. Although both get the idea across very strongly.

[QUOTE=Pex;22626886]Neutral [...] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTEFKFiXSx4[QUOTE]I couldn't stop laughing. Although the reasons for the song existing actually seem very chaotic, but yes the song itself is about as true neutral as they come.Unfortunately... I got no songs I haven't already posted in earlier threads. I might be back if I think of something else.
