Wow, I Look at this thread, and there's 11 posts and 111 views. It's time to add 1 to this 1, you dig?
I've always thought that when it comes to music, usually rock and electronica (meaning, techno, dance, trance, and all that) made for actual music to race to. Hip-hop isn't a bad choice either. Myself, personally, I'm not a serious rock fan either. I've grown up with hip-hop, then went on to electronica since getting into the WipeOut series and watching AMP on MTV back then.
"PD would be stupid to make a game without music that would appeal to Americans at large." -T100
And sure that a lot of us Americans are the pop-rock type of people. A big bunch of America is into stuff like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepplin, and that sort of thing. But you have to remember, 96 rumored songs mean that a person can find a type of music to get into. So it goes back to my "something for everyone" argument. What's great for one person isn't going to be great for many others. You can't tell me that a person into Destiny's Child (Houston's own!) or Ludacris is going to enjoy Papa Roach and some rock group that starts with "The..." and never heard of at all. So as long as PD has many music choices, all is good. Just find what you like and play the game.
Of course, if you don't like music playing in the game, this doesn't apply to you. But for the rest of us, you either love this music lineup, or loathe this music lineup.
