Recommend some inspirational music, would you?

[Collin152]

Hey, friends, compatriots, comrades!
Got a need for some music.
If it refrences the supernatural in any way, I want to know about it. From Night on Bald Mountain's wordless demonicness to Witchy Woman, back to This is Halloween, if it mentions it, implies it, or anything else, I want it. Bring me your Love Potion #9's and your Black Magic Woman's, and help me out.
No matter the mood, tone, whatever, I'll find a use for it.

[Vavaara]

War Pigs by Black Sabbath

And for pure inspiration, Carry on my Wayward Son by Kansas

[Hoggy]

Because I'm listening to the song right now, Dance of Death - Iron Maiden

And about a bajillion other Iron Maiden songs.

[Project_Mayhem]

The doors, 'Riders on the storm'?

Its sort of supernatural. And dead good.

[Zombie pixe]

Well...

If you want superbnatural meaning, try some Black Metal. Like say... Tsjuder or Gorgoroth, Emperor? (not Cradle Of Filth! Please?)

Umm... Snow Patrol, Travis, Oasis, Stone Roses. Indie/Brit pop bands are also good for insparation.

Or... Prodigy. Some songs like Spitfire, or Smack My Bitch Up are great! :smallbiggrin:
And also one of the most powerful songs ever writen my Nirvana, You Know Your Right.

Hope they are what you are looking for. And yes, I do have a VERY varied music taste :smalltongue:

List time!

5 Magics (http://youtube.com/watch?v=wcUx7WftPUc) by Megadeth
Number of the Beast (http://youtube.com/watch?v=AUOpUqni0_g) by Iron Maiden
Still Life (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wsu77Qw1SG4) by Iron Maiden
Nightcrawler (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z2wzpfPFBlw) by Judas Priest

Most of these songs have something supernatural about them, whether it be creepy monsters, demons, or magic.

[Collin152]

Good god, V-Tribby, such a wonderful, diverse selection!
Thank you all, keep them coming!

[Moff Chumley]

Dream Theater has a bunch of supernatural themes: Metropolis Pt. 2, Forsaken, and In the Presence of Enemies are standouts. There's good ol' Led Zep for some viking goodness (No Quarter, Immagrant Song), and The Mars Volta is easily the most satanic sounding music out there. (Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy/Casandra Gemini, and pretty much the whole album and song Frances the Mute).

[Blayze]

There is only one piece of music I could possibly suggest to you. It is called "Libera Me From Hell", and sounds a hell of a lot better when heard in its natural habitat of Gurren Lagann.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyiVKtt6dgc

[Felixaar]

Anything from any of the pirates of the carribean sound tracks.

though in particular?
Barbossa Is Hungry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbnlZk_Obuc)
Hello Beastie P1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPq7um5WysY)
Hello Beastie P2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEoW38kAcVE)
Love Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu172tiVShQ)

Oh, and how could I forget the most inspiring song there is. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xBSfY01nMk)

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Oh, here are a couple more I've recently run across.

Balrog Boogie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad-l54T_kYY) - Diablo Swing Orchestra

All Along The Watchtower (http://www.myspace.com/theskyabouttorain) - Sky About To Rain (a lot of different versions of this oldie, but this'un is my favorite)

[xPANCAKEx]

bands:
isis
red sparrows
grails
sigur ros
bossk
waxwing
elliott (specifically the Song In The Air album)
a beautiful day
this will destroy you

[ForzaFiori]

I find alot of songs by Skillet, Relient K, Casting Crowns, and Disciple inspirational. They're all Christian rock though, (Casting Crowns might not be rock actually... but its still Christian) so it may not fit what your looking for.

[Moff Chumley]

In what way does the Christian Religion not reference the supernatural?

The Planets, by Gustav Holst, is a very Sci-Fi piece of classical music; listening to it brings to mind lots of Star Wars esque imigary. Its also the best set of classical pieces ever written.
Donals Fagen's album Kamakiriad is a smooth RnB futuristic concept album. That might qualify. :smallsmile:
Dream Theater's A Change of Seasons qualifies, no doubt.
Karn Evil 9, by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer is a phenomenal 35 minute sci-fi epic, and music fans of any sort should be required to listen to it.
King Crimson's first four albums are great soundtracks for intense political intrigue at it's quite parts; in it's higher decibel points, it evokes brutal and gruesome war. Albums five through seven are more evocative of planets colliding and reforming; the gods were listening to Red when they shaped the world. All of their albums after that: music for schitzos with style. :smallcool:

[Lerky]

Imperial March (or Vader's Theme as it is commonly called) is my offical brand of inspirational music. Check out this fan-made music video (http://youtube.com/watch?v=L8ZTTsiJupo)(very well done):

[Mustiado]

This'll sound odd, but I find Jukebox Hero by Foreigner to be very inspirational.

No link because I'm horrible at HTML/Board-fu. But easily found on youtube.

[reorith]

voodoo by godsmack is an inspirational song about voodoo
and opiate abuse

[Shraik]

Anything by Jimi Hendrix because of its pure Amazing is inspirational(for me)

For supernatural
Voodoo Child by Jimi the H.
Ghost Riders in the sky just sounds cool and has the word ghost in the title.
Night of The Slunk by Buckethead has a very somewhat creep supernatural feel to it

[Stormthorn]

I like you, Collin, so i give you teh music.

Dead Mans Party by Oingo Biongo (my favorite)

Blood Doll by Anarchy Club

Come To Daddy by Aphex Twin

These all have a supernatural bent.

Another great one is The Witch Queen Of New Orleans (my second favorite)

Also, try Vampire Love

dragonfroce:
Cry of the brave

You sah, have insulted Bucketheads honour
Ready the "Hunters"

[Oregano]

I second the suggestion of Jukebox Hero by Foreigner.

Anything by Queen is inspirational, bonus points if it's the live version.
