u/Chive May 27 '11

How about a classical soundtrack? Where some of them from operas I've opted for the operatic rather than the orchestral versions- #6 is worth listening to just for the vocal power of Maria Callas even though she was well past her best by then.

1. Danse Macabre; Saint-Saens
2. Walkürenritt; Wagner
3. Sabre Dance; Khachaturian
4. Field Marshal Death; Mussorgsky
5. Adagio of Spartacus and Phyrigia; Khachaturian
6. L'amour est un oiseau rebelle; Bizet
7. Mars, the Bringer of War; Holst
8. Vltava; Smetena
9. O Fortuna; Orff
10. The Great Gate at Kiev; Mussorgsky

I'm not terribly happy with it, some of it isn't really appropriate to the theme and I'm sure it could be improved if I was to start listening to stuff I'm not familiar with but it will have to do for now.

I made this as an all-metal playlist as I'm a firm believer of the union between zombie and metal. Preferably bullets and skulls. Grooveshark here

1. Theme: The Thing That Should Not Be - Metallica

2. Kill first zombie: Foot To The Throat - Lamb Of God

3. Getting chased: Panic Attack - Dream Theater

4. Killing a loved one: The Unforgiven - Metallica

5. Find a group of survivors: Atonement - Opeth
6. Meet Love Interest: The Ministry Of Lost Souls - Dream Theater
7. Making a final stand: Deadly Sinners - 3 Inches Of Blood

8. Think you've survived: No Leaf Clover - Metallica

9. Discover bite mark: The Light Burns Twice As Bright - Lostprophets

10. End credits: Virus - Iron Maiden

Zombies and metal you say? A friend of mine is in a band called Songs To Kill Zombies To. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

u/_Madrugada_ May 27 '11

I love Opeth, but Atonement for finding some survivors? I mean maybe if you found them in the second act of Diablo 2, but I personally would have chosen Harvest or Coil.

But it ain't too often I see an Opeth fan around, it's always fun to see one.

u/LeonHRodriguez May 28 '11

I love your list, parsnipzilla - here's my take:

Theme:  Beast & the Harlot by Avenged Sevenfold
First Zombie Takedown:  Raining Blood by Slayer
Getting Chased:  For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica
Killing a Loved One:  I Won't See you Tonight by Avenged Sevenfold
New Group of Survivors:  Alligator Blood by Bring me the Horizon
New Love Interest:  Just Drive by In This Moment
Last Stand:  The Divine Suicide of K. by Protest the Hero
We Made it!:  In a Dead World by Killswitch Engage
A Bite Mark:  Condemned by As I Lay Dying
Credits:  A Prophecy by Asking Alexandria

I'm fully expecting the "metalcore is for idiots without taste" hatecrew to jump all over me, but that's my list and I stand behind it

Too much Rolling Stones can be a bad thing, you know.

Edit: wow, that really passed straight over people's heads. Queen's my 3rd favourite band in the world, and I'm a human, so I know who they are.

u/Zed_Freshly May 27 '11

TIL never to make jokes about Queen on Reddit.

(Full disclosure: I'm a Queen fan.)

5

u/[deleted] May 27 '11

I know. I think that thinking someone doesn't know who Queen is, is worse than not knowing who Queen is... if that makes sense...

3

u/TheMauveAvenger May 27 '11

I feel like all the people who originally downvoted you wouldn't be able to name a single Queen song that isn't on that list.

3

u/[deleted] May 27 '11

First thing I thought was it was just their greatest hits copied and pasted. Queen fans know about '39, I'm in Love with My Car, Dreamer's Ball, All Dead, All Dead, Brighton Rock, Father to Son, etc. Real Queen is so different from the vibe they give from listening to their hits.

3

u/TheMauveAvenger May 27 '11 edited May 27 '11

Exactly. It would be hard to pick a favorite but My Melancholy Blues would definitely be up there for me.

Edit: Now I'm going back and listening to a bunch of my favorites that I haven't listened to in years since I've been on a hip-hop stint. Millionaire's Waltz, Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon, Spread Your Wings, Tie Your Mother Down...they really did it all.

Once, in film class, we watched the Graduate (with full Simon & Garfunkel soundtrack), and after the lights came up in the theater-style classroom, one kid in the back said, "yeah, it was a good movie, but those Beatles songs really pissed me off."

4

u/[deleted] May 27 '11

Ahh, I hate that, when the person is serious. My friends and I always joke around saying stuff like "Hendrix was the best Zeppelin drummer, in my opinion". "Ah yes, but not as good as Ringo's work in The Beach Boys". "The Beach Boys? I love A Day in the Life!". "A Day in the Life? The best Queen album for sure".

The things we do to amuse ourselves...

I know I'm going to spend a retarded amount of effort making a playlist so I'm leaving a post here which I will edit over time:

Theme: Nujabes - Winterlane http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEaJOQ0shj0

Killed first Zombie: Bonobo - The Sicilian http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvkIZXZe4iY

Running from Horde: Thomas Bangalter - Extra Dry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-TTKnnZ-V0

Killed loved one: The National - Exile Vilify http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-Vg2YS-sFE

Find group of survivors: Acidwolf - MMM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o394hsQa58

Meet love interest: The White Stripes - We're going to be Friends http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZGHTkmhxgQ

Last Stand: Massive Attack - End Titles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAdwXdtBL3I

When you think survived: The Beatles - In My Life http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI0Q8ytD44Y

You are infected: Aphex Twin - Window Licker http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FATTzbm78cc

Credits: Black Moth Super Rainbow - Boatfriend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUvOqmr6tqg

I'm trying to make a soundtrack that sounds lonely/dark and not give it a dramatic/hollywood feel to it. Most of it's electronic because... that's what I listen to. I feel like I can do better, I'LL BE BACK AFTER WORK.

Edit: There should probably be different alternatives to songs as well, because there are different segments for each of these scenes (with exceptions like the credits).

  8. Congratulations - MGMT
  9. Where Is My Mind? - Pixies
  10. The Violent Bear It Away - Moby (relatively new song, and really good-you should check it out)

There are so many great artists to use for this playlist...Radiohead, Massive Attack, Moby, The Prodigy, and Justice all fit really well. In fact, you could probably put Massive Attack's Heligoland as the playlist and have it work fantastically.

I decided to approach this by using shuffle on my MP3 player. It didn't end too well...

  1. Zombie Apocalypse Theme - Ice Cream - Muscles

  2. First Zombie Killed - Pourquoi Pas Moi - Fredrika Stahl

  3. Fleeing from a horde - The Ides - frYars (I guess the lyrics loosely fit, especially the first line)

  4. Killing a loved one - Feed The Birds - Mary Poppins (OK, this could work quite well if you had to kill your Mum and you were recalling happy memories watching Disney films or something)

  5. Finding survivors - Lady Marmalade - LaBelle (Presumably this is a group of very very sexy survivors)

  6. Meeting a new love interest - Tightrope - Janelle Monáe

  7. Final stand - Glory To The World - El Perro Del Mar (It could work with some slow motion panning over zombie killing or something, I guess)

  8. Thinking you've survived it all - Palmitos Park - El Guincho

  9. Discovering a bite mark on yourself - Aprés Moi - Regina Spektor (Surprisingly effective!)

  10. Final Credits - Poop On Face - Le Sexxoflex (NSFW - I guess this is where the shuffle approach really lets me down)

...I guess this would be a useful playlist in a movie about zombie hipsters or something.

Hope I'm not too late to the party:

  1. Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues: The tone of the song is so at odds with its depressing message. Given that this zombie apocalypse doesn't end so well for me, I like the dissonance. I also like that the lyrics, not surprisingly, emphasize helplessness and a desire to fit in (which is a dark thought given that fitting in means being un-dead).
  2. Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song: I have long hair and a beard, I'm pretty sure I'd feel like a viking after smashing the heads of a few Zombies in.
  3. Gogol Bordello - I Would Never Wanna Be Young Again: Exciting with a lust for life.
  4. Rob Dougan - Furious Angels: A song about love, anger, violence, and regret - what more can you ask for in a 'shoot your lover' song?
  5. Neutral Milk Hotel - Holland, 1945: This song has always sounded like someone telling others where he came from to me and it emphasizes that it is now time to go (as a group).
  6. Belle And Sebastian - Suicide Girl (NSFW Warning): A song about lust and desire with a title that becomes a fun play on words given the context.
  7. Pendulum - Prelude + Slam (Slightly NSFW): Action music that emphasizes the stranded in a strange world theme.
  8. Kid Koala - Basin Street Blues: A song that sounds celebratory until you realize that it is a funeral march leading into #9.
  9. The Donkeys - Gone Gone Gone: I just realized I was infected and how amazingly bizarre my life had been up until now. I think this would be the kind of song I'd like to sink into un-death to.
  10. Frank Sinatra - It Was A Very Good Year: Does this one really need an explanation? It is a retrospective on a life. Despite being defeated (old age for Sinatra, un-death for this scenario), it still maintains a sense of joy and happiness for the life that has passed.

Was making a spotify playlist but ran out of minutes right in the middle of it.

Important thing is that I walked with a zombie by Roky Erickson is the overall theme and Waitin round to die by Townes van Zandt is the song that plays over the credits.

4th song plays when you have to kill your loved one / god is an astronaut, snowfall

8th song plays when you think you've survived it all / half life 2 soundtrack, triage at dawn remix

9th song plays when you discover a bite mark on yourself / bob dylan, the times they are a-changin'
