So, I usually like to listen to certain genres of music while I drive to a place to play 40k and I prefer it to match my armies personality. So if you listen to "inspiring" music before or while you play, post it here. State your army, the genre/song/band ect., and why you do so lol
Interesting, I play Bad Company for my guardsmen :p

Om my way to the FLGS, I'll usually load my mp3 player with a bunch of Rush tunes and rock out during the drive to. I don't worry about matching my army theme, though their catalog's pretty large so finding something to get you In the Mood is pretty easy... See what I did there?
I listen to Korn for my World Eaters, Rob zombie for my Death Guard, The Sex Pistols for my Emperors Children, Metalica for my Iron Warrior and Wolfmother for my Space Wolves
Destroy, for the sake of Destruction Kill, for the sake of Killing Spread Warp-disease, for the sake of creating Zombies
Personally, I don't. I find music playing in the background when I'm gaming (aside from at a very low volume as background "white noise") to be disracting. So I don't play wargames to music and have been known to politely ask that music be turned down if it's being played were I'm gaming.
As I've said before, I'm not one of these kiddies who thinks their life needs a soundtrack...ie need to have music playing 24/7.

"I was Oldhammer before Oldhammer was cool!"
Dawn of War's always good; certain specific pieces from other places (The Imperial March, Duel of the Fates, Dies Irae, Suicide Mission, Anthem of the Tyrant, stuff like that) occasionally show up in my games.
Whenever I'm going to play a game with my Eldar in what might be termed a 'competitive' environment I crack out "The Last in Line" by the Dio just before the game. First time I did it, it just worked to get my head into the right place, partly due to the lyrics; now it's tradition, like a footballer's lucky boxers
I don't generally have music on when painting/modelling or playing. Either I am focussed on what I am doing and don't hear the music, or all I hear is the music - which would defeat the purpose of it playing.
I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Yes I've noticed it, I hate the wargaming/metalhead stereotype. I mean, I enjoy metal sure, but I grew out of the 'all other music is crap' thing when I was still at school.
Various black metal, Limbonic Art lately. Army is Tyranids, CSM, BT.

I think a lot of it can be traced to the idea that 40k is basically the world's richest and biggest heavy metal album cover. Skulls, spikes, daemons, nuns with guns, chainsaws, giant motorcycles, vikings, zombies, giant robots and destroyed churches everywhere are all just as integral to heavy metal (namely 80s metal) imagery as they are to 40k.
