What I mean is when you hear the song, you can imagine it being for the race..
I'll start with a few:

Spacemarines- we are the chosen ones, by dream evil
Vampire counts- castle dracula, by nox arcana
Tau Empire- Gex: Enter the Gecko OST - Rocking Pillars (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byrUnIFREVQ&feature=related)

And just a few others-
Necromunda- Battle tanx1- main theme
Necromunda- Gex: Enter the Gecko OST Rezopolis

Post, maybe this will help others o have background music while they paint?

I like "Rocking Pillars" a good bit. Very nice.

Rain of a Thousand Flames by Rhapsody fits well with the overall feel of 40k.

I agree with the Space Marines but I'd go with something quicker, Holy Thunderforce comes to mind.

I think of Metallica when I think of chaos for some reason, Cyanide, Shortest Straw, and Frayed Ends of Sanity spring to mind and Master of Puppets should be Tzeentch's theme.

For the Tyranids- omnomnomnom- Parry Grip
lol.

I really can't find any faction for anything jazz or swing for some reason, except maybe Slaanesh in certain instances. I can see the Wolves going with Nordic folk though.

Space Wolves; Mostly anything by Turisas or Tyr, both are Viking folk metal bands, suits them (and me) to a tee
Tyranids; 'Monster' Can't remember the band...
Blood Angels; Theme tune to any Dracula movie

Never really thought about it but Bob Marley was the first thing that came to mind when I thought Tyranids. Must be because of watching I Am Legend.

I don't know, ICP just doesn't make me imagine rat men, like turisas's music would (in theory) make the listener inspired to do chaos marauders or space wolves..

No offense, but I meant ICP being a collection of scum, to accompany a race of garbage eating electrical cord chewing beady eyed dirtbags called skaven.

Okay, music is near and dear to my heart so here we go:

40k

Space Marines: Way too cliche for "We are the champions" by Queen, Now maybe "Indestructible" by Disturbed.

Dark Angels: This is too easy "The Unfogiven" by Metallica.

Space Wolves: "Born To Be Wild" by Steppenwolf. Pretty much any hard party music will do... I could picture them playing "In Taberna" by Corvus Corax.

Blood Angels: "Dragula" by Rob Zombie, "Can I play with Madness" by Iron Maiden.

Necrons: It just MUST be "Tubthumping" by Chumbawumba ("I get knocked down but I get back up again you ain't ever gonna keep me down..." ain't that the truth) but if we must go all gothic about it: I really think "Dead Souls" NIN would do it.

Tau: "Having a Blast" by Green Day, If caught in melee I would say "Run for the Hills" by Iron Maiden. "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by Daft Punk

Tyranids: Maybe "Fade to Black" by Apoptygma Berzerk?

Orks: Oh, I must say "The Mob Rules" by Black Sabbath, or "Leaders and Followers" by Bad Religion, "Free Your Hate" by KMFDM.

Sisters of Battle: "Fire Burning" by Sean Kingston, "Hey, Soul Sister" by Train, "Little Sister" by Queens of the Stone Age.

Chaos Space Marines: "Losing my Religion" by REM, "Violent Mood Swings" by Stabbing Westward, "Nemesis" by Shriekback, "Space Lord" by Monster Magnet

Dark Eldar: "When your Evil" by Voltaire, "New Pain" by Static-X, "King of Pain" by the Police, "Hurt" hmm.. NIN or Johnny Cash or Absurd Minds... you pick.

Imperial Guard: "Soldier Side" by System of a Down, "Boom, Boom, Pow" by Black Eyed Peas, "Bodies" by Drowning Pool.

Eldar: "Save Yourself" by Stabbing Westward, "Menofearthereaper" by Pop Will Eat Itself, "Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead.

Inquisition: "Heads Will Roll" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs,

Gray Knights: One Man Army by Our Lady Peace (the lyrics work oddly enough). "Sophia" by Cruxshadows (Knight errant song if I ever heard one).

General 40k atmosphere music: "Know Your Enemy" by Greenday, "Nightmares" by Last Dance, "Uprising" by Muse, "Schism" by Tool, "Wasteland" by The Mission, "Silver Future" by Monster Magnet, "When Worlds Collide" by Powerman 5000,

Warhammer:

Skaven: "Sleeping Beast" by Skinny Puppy seems to work for me... not sure why.

Vampire Counts: "Darkside" by Gothminister or "Nightmares" by Last Dance.

Dwarves: "The Grudge" by Tool, "Building Steam" by Abney Park.

Empire: "Many Moons Ago..." by Empyrium (funny that) or "Domina" by Potntia Animi

Will see what else I have in my collection to add...

NO! that should definitely NOT be a rule!!!! Thats just gross! I don't want some slaanesh warrior charging me, Screaming a BloodLust filled roar, with his Jolly Roger Flopping around!!!!

Ok...

General - Blind Desperation - Sylosis, prehaps Far From Home - Five Finger Death Punch for the many dying on the battlefields... or Humanity - The Scorpions, End of Days - Malefice

Chaos - Master of Puppets - Metallica (Also fits Necron Deceiver C'tan), Black metal in general (I'll throw in Dawn of a Golden Age - Roadrunner United, but I'm not really a black metal man...), and Hit The Floor by Linkin Park fits the Horus Heresy quite well (The song after it on the album called Easier to Run also fits in a weird way, if you imagine Horus having a sense of regret as the Emperor struck him down....), Halo - Machine Head, In Pieces by Linkin Park?

World Eaters - Right Now - Korn, The Enemy - Roadrunner United, Meaning of Life - Disturbed, People = gak - Slipknot

Death Guard - Down with the Sickness - Disturbed (duh!), Virus of Life - Slipknot (sorta...)

Space Marines - Indestructible - Disturbed, Points of Authority - Linkin Park?

Dark Angels - Unforgiven - Metallica, Waking the Fallen - Avenged Sevenfold

Necrons - Deceiver and The Night by Disturbed

Imperial Guard - No-one Gets Left Behind - Five Finger Death Punch, The Physics of Fire pt. 3 - Becoming the Archetype

Eldar - Outsiders? (by Franz Ferdinand)

Tyranids - Blackened - Metallica (focusing on the fact that they destroy a lot of planets, thought it could suit Chaos or even IG...)
