Not so much a song, but I would run Pandora either in the background or on my laptop. Pucifier was (and is) one of my favorite "stations."

Mine was usually boss battle themes from a whole bunch of different games.

Believe it or not, I always liked the theme from Ladyhawke...it just sounds victorious and heroic to me.

Ladyhawke

[Floride]

For me, No TF AV battle would be complete without The Sentinel

[DJMoose]

"Protectors of the Earth" by Two Steps from Hell always made me feel awesomely heroic.

[Kaos Arcanna]

One of my semi-regular teammates had also seen Transformers: The Movie (the animated one from the 1980s).

I would always warn him when "The Touch" came up on my MP3 player because that'd be when I was about to do something crazy. :D

Back when I used to farm tickets in AE-- and I know how some of you feel about that, but paying 50K and more for common salvage kinda pissed me off-- I had a playlist I named "FIRE BAAAAAAD" (if you get the reference, you know who the band is).  It was mostly stuff from Garage Days Re-Revisited.

Edit: And you know what?  That playlist is gonna get a lot more use when we get our game back.

I am not ashamed to say that for various reasons, including in-game RP, my theme for defeating Mot ended up as the Pinkie Pie Smile Song from My Little Pony. 

Sorry Mot, can't despair- listening to ponies.

You made milk fly out of my damn nose on that last line. :D  Now I gotta clean my LCD.

[MaidMercury]

mmm.....think the game provided enough white noise so that I couldn't hear battle hymns
especially in Mothership Raids RWZ.....omg, it's Sunday and I still anticipate such routines....waaa. :'(

[DCrepesit]

Literally everything I use as "battle music" the average person despises and is quick to label it as screamo after the first 5 seconds lol. But, I'm gonna put a link up just to represent metalheads alike ;D  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRUJU1G1VJY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

"Winterborn" was (IS, darn it!!!) my theme song for my indomitable little WP Tanker, Mirka.

"And in this moment, I will not run,
It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope,
Within our bloodied hands."

Dammit...got something in my eye...

[CheerGunbunny]

"I will give my life for love,
For I am Winterborn

And in my dying,
I'm more alive than I have ever been
I will make this sacrifice,
For I am Winterborn"

yeah, i think that thing-in-eye is contagious....

[Catstiel]

A little obvious i know, but whenever i joined a group for a mission and had a long way to travel (Read: Atlas Park -> Hollows heh) i sometimes stuck this on.

*Awkward pause*

What? I played on Virtue....

[Captain Electric]

That was a joke. :P

I had a few scores that went through my head on certain characters and in certain situations. Weirdly, they weren't scores that exist out there. They leaped into my head, and stayed there, like theme songs.

It's weird because I'm not a musician and this isn't the sort of thing that ever happened before. Just one more case of City of Heroes giving me extraordinary experiences.

When I actually wanted to hear real music, Pandora was a great tool for tailoring individual characters soundtracks.

[Kyriani]

In case my avatar didn't clue you in... this was played frequently during boss fights :P
