Powerful stuff on the Black Hole Sun one, man. Dang. Regarding this bit though:

Of course, after the new Dark Astoria story lines, MIstral gets eaten by a giant Mario-World Piranha Plant at the end of the song... kinda anti-climactic.

Check out the debriefing at the end of the last mission in the arc. Spoiler Alert:

Spoiler for Ice Mistral:
She got better.

'The Adventure' by Angels and Airwaves...doesn't fit CoH any better than that, if you ask me....  :)

I've associated this track w/ CoH for evah:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcfE4iTUbL0&list=RD02RuLASvt3s5k

Lyrics excerpts (with a couple lines bolded which will make the association obvious):

Dry your eyes and quietly bear this pain with pride
For heaven shall remember the silent and the brave
And promise me they will never see, the fear within our eyes
(my eyes are closed)
We will give strength to those who still remain

So bury fear, for fate draws near
And hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls
Endure the heart's remains
Discard regret, that in this debt
A better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember
And avoid our fate

Hold your head up high-for there is no greater love
Think of the faces of the people you defend
And promise me, they will never see the tears within our eyes
Although we are men, with mortal sins, angels never cry

And in the fury of this darkest hour
I will be your light
A lifetime for this destiny
For I am Winter born
And in this moment..I will not run
It is my place to stand

We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands

There was a time when all I wanted to do was learn how to Demo Record because I really wanted to make CoH music videos.  Certain songs just immediately expressed themselves in my imagination.

Ha.  You've reminded me of a few I wanted to make (and still could, I suppose, due to the magic of demos).

Menken and Zippel, "Go the Distance" (Disney's Hercules) - a hero's journey, starting in Atlas Park and ascending to truly Olympian (or Praetorian) heights.

John Williams, "The Flying Sequence" (Superman) - a night-time tour of Steel Canyon, with a loop around the statue in Blyde Square taking the place of lady Liberty.

Garry Schyman, "Praan" (Where the Hell is Matt (2008)) - heroes, villains, and others dancing in all the zones of Paragon, the Rogue Isles, and beyond.

Quicksilver is just a fun song all-around.

I'd had the Duet mix of Puscifer's "The Humbling River" on my play-list for ages, but never associated it with City until one of the demo-makers used it. Now I can't NOT think of that video and our game every time it comes up. Which it does pretty often since it's in my favorites mix.

I have three songs to forever remind me of City of Heroes:

Protectors of the Earth (Two Steps from Hell)
Just epic.

Derezzed (Daft Punk)
For beating up bad guys, especially in a nightclub.

Perfect Dark - Institute Menu
Just a cool song that I feel fits City of Heroes.
Serkana The Wise
Primal Praetorian

Mama said knock u out...LL Cool J.  That is the theme song I associate with the triumphant return of Paragon City.

I like your style!

Now when we get there, I'm gonna have to toggle on Super Jump and play "Jump Around" (cause we brought them a House of Pain... booyah)
