Yes, I know that the music planning won't be for a while, but I feel that it's better to be prepared and have a list anyways. This is going to be a compiled listing for music suggestions. (this is going to be a lenghty listing...) It's also come to mind to maybe have multiple alt-music sountracks (say one all Minibosses, another all RPGs, ect)
Notes - this is based off of what I have and my tastes, feel free to suggest your own tracks or ask questions. I'm not even bothering to list anything from my MIDI archives, as I really don't have the time to go through about 250 hours of music within the span of a few.
(and if anybody wants copies of these, PM/IM me so I can send ya some)
