So, I'm running an AD&D game at the CT old school mini-con in October.  To set the mood, I'm bringing music.  I'm only playing METAL! that was popular from the OD&D through the AD&D 1st ed. years.  Share with me your favorite music you listened to as a kid back in from those years while playing D&D, so I can create my playlist.  

METAL!  only!  Because basically, if you played D&D while listening to Bananarama, well, you were a loser, and likely still are.  

Please include Artist/Band and Song Title, rather than just saying "Everything from Sabbath, dude!"

Thx!

Hey Joe,

What was your music playlist during the 1E AD&D era?

Quote from: ggroy;397630Hey Joe,

What was your music playlist during the 1E AD&D era?

I was too broke to afford records, so whatever was on the radio.  But lots of Megadeath, Sabbath, Priest, and G&R, AC/DC, and Metallica.  As you can prolly tell, my AD&D yrs were 1984-1988.

We usually copied tapes off one another.  Typically one person would get a particular tape, and make numerous copies from it.  This was spread amongst a group of us, where every person bought some particular original cassettes of several different albums.

Of the D&D groups I played in back in the day, the older players listened to slightly different stuff.

These were typically guys who were five to ten years older than me.  The ones into "metal" were listening to stuff like:

- Boston
- UFO
- Led Zeppelin
- Scorpions (older stuff)
- Styx
- Queen
- Pink Floyd
- Black Sabbath
- Deep Purple
- Alice Cooper (older stuff)
- KISS

Bah. Metal.

Give me The Jam or Elvis Costello and the Attractions any day of the week.

Oh oh oh oh .... Stayin Alive ... Stayin Alive

Burn Baby Burn ...

I remember lots of Sabbath/ozzy, Judas priest, and motley crue with a sprinkling of Zeppelin and Hendrix. Can't pin down any particular songs.

Listening to it now, man.  That's some heavy shit.  May not add it to the list unless I want to scare the shit out of the players that a TPK is imminent.  Maybe if I play one of J Raggi's modules or his LOTFP game I'll break it out.
