I'm not really sure if this belongs in G&C or AMP, so if a mod feels it would do better in AMP, I would be quite amiable to a relocation.
A preface, if I may: this all started when my group was playing Crystal Chronicles. As dearly as I love that game, the soundtrack left more than a little to be desired, so we had Pandora playing in the background while we saved the freed world. While slaying dragons to "Drive My Car" is fun and all, it didn't really feel quite epic enough. I tried to make a station of suitably epic rock songs, but it didn't quite work out.
So I decided to try again, and it's been a little more successful. I'd still appreciate some suggestions to help fine-tune it, so I figured I'd ask here.
I'm looking for some crashing rock songs to add to a Pandora station to be used while playing otherwise great games that have unfortunate soundtracks. Fantasy or otherwise narrative lyrics are somewhat important, though the music is more important. Kashmir, in essence, is what I had in mind when I put this together. Some softer, more acoustic material is also acceptable: The Battle of Evermore, for instance.
If you want more examples, the Thumbs-Up songs I've had since I opened Pandora this afternoon have been:
Scorpions- Make It Real
Jimi Hendrix- Purple Haze
AC/DC- Hell's Bells
Pearl Jam- Even Flow
Forest- A Fantasy You
Some of the other goodies I've found have been
Scorpions- Rock You Like a Hurricane (2000)
Symphony X- Oculus ex Inferni
Therion- O Fortuna
Hammerfall- The Unforgiving Blade
Thanks in advance!

Sorry, I didn't see your reply somehow: I'll check those tomorrow with a computer that'll actually play youtube videos :/.
The station is still progressing nicely, recently it's called up
Soundgarden- Fell on Black Days
Pat Travers- Dreams of Milk and Honey
The Who- The Real Me
All of which work very well for my purposes. Also, has anyone heard the Scorpions/ Berliner Philharmoniker combination? Awesome
