Hope at least one is new and something you find nice. I tend to listen to a lot of video game music and remixes, so they tend to translate to tabletop bgms pretty well

FANTASTIC!!!
Yu Yu Hakusho takes me back! I've been meaning to give a rewatch for forever. The opening always makes me smile.
I only just started getting into FFXIV (giving the free trial a go) -- but that Shadowbringers mix was lovely. Definitely adding that to the playlist for my Sunday game. Oh man, very inspiring!
I am WEAK for big brass or jazz covers of...anything, really. If I may recommend in turn:

Since you like jazz, Shadowbringers is gonna be your friend:

I caved and bought FFXIV, I'm still super new and getting used to the super involved controls and HUD but! Getting the hang of it slowly. White Mage first, then leveling the other casting jobs. And I've got a second character I'm going to be doing all my melee jobs on. I'll spread out the crafting jobs on which character would enjoy them most! That's my basic plan.

And I gotta say, I haven't been to a single zone where I've disliked the music. Even hearing the Chocobo riding theme all the time I mount up is fantastic. Such a jam, gets me excited about adventuring every time.

Had this album nonstop on repeat the last two days, really vibing strong with this band's sound

I mean I have no idea what they're singing about but I can feel it, ykno?

Ooooo! I listened to the first few tracks and I'm hooked! Track 3 was my fave I think, has great energy!!
Got me thinking about other Japanese rock I've loved in the past -- and I went on a bit of a quest to find this Gackt Track:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXp0v93ZRTs

I don't have theme music, as it were, for my characters.
For adventure/RPG music, I love the Actraiser OST. Here are a couple of examples:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ9.....dex=6&t=0s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUI.....1T&index=7

That's such a coincidence -- I swear the second track has come up in the mix of Boss Battle tracks my DM plays.
I'd never heard of ActRaiser by name before this!
I dig the 16bit sound -- and also found some Orchestral covers too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXHOGEOM1oE
I plan on using the OST from my favorite Castlevania as the back track for when I run Curse of Strahd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqQPr3ZcbtE

I never played Aria of Sorrow. I think the last Castlevania game I played at length was Lament of Innocence. Symphony of the Night is still my all-time favorite of the series.

Admittedly, I'm not a DnD player. I played once when I was a teenager back in the early 90s haha. I remember having the hots for a demigod wolf dude named Amon.

I recently heard this and found it amusing:

I have a big weakness for story songs and this gave me a good chuckle!!
A fun track in return: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXLlnreBwOQ :D

Story songs you say?
You ok with vocaloid stuff or do you prefer human singers?

I have a non vocaloid that has a similar feel for some:

Some other stories:

https://youtu.be/9XixlzlSuTo

And a whole set from supergiant you might have seen or maybe not:
https://youtu.be/fpNucBxitAc

Vocaloid is okay! Some songs I like better than others, but I don't think I've ever disliked one enough to not listen through!
Le bal des chats was utterly charming and JUST what I needed. I found the full album from Cécile Corbel on Google Play and even tho I don't understand a word of French, it's utterly charming and super relaxing to listen to.

Supergiant has put out some of my very favorite games -- Pyre is one that I hold very very close to my heart!
To see a live performance video tho, that's something special, thank you so much for linking me that, I REALLY loved it!!!

You might really like The Crane Wives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gopg80VXwc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7lmAc3LKWM

Oh Kansas is a HUGE love of mine, Lonely Wind is one of my faves!
I'd never heard Chris de Burgh, but WOW I absolutely love it! He has a truly beautiful voice.
If I had to pick a fave from what you linked, (it's difficult but) probably Crusader. Sucker for knightly aesthetics.

A couple you might like, if you link me those --
The Queen of Argyle by The Bedlam Boys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zzlQKEKAKg
Song of the Witches by SJ Tucker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORDNWwHzdaE
Dan Avidan's cover of Scarborough Fair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNcEVe2biJA

(How dare you link the saddest track ever lmaoooo)

Nice. I really liked The Queen of Argyle and will have to check out more from The Bedlam Boys.
Song of the Witches was a very fun and whimsical song.
Dan Avidan's cover was also really good. I had only ever heard Simon and Garfunkle's version before.

Yeah, I do love Chris de Burgh's voice. It carries just the right of power or emotion, to fit beautifully with his songs. And I think the knightly aspect of Crusader is what draws me to that song as well.

If seems as if you enjoy a 'minstrel' sound, so I'm assuming you're a fan of Jethro Tull's 'Songs From the Wood' album.


But a group you may not have heard of, is Blackmore's Night (very few people I talk to have). This is guitarist Richie Blackmore (of Deep Purple fame) and Candice Night doing what I can only call renaissance rock; though I have no idea if there's an actual term for it. *laughs*
They have a lot of 'softer' songs, but I prefer the more energetic ones, such as the following:
(Sorry for so many links, but each song is fairly distinct and gives more rounded examples of their music.)
- Fires at Midnight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L72e7OgW5j8
- Village on the Sand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZpcIPuLDi0
- The Storm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IzVUOtMHa4
- Highland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5kD4FD35pY
- All Because of You: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdJ4kW6mkqA
- Locked Within the Crystal Ball: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir4PkMjWE7E

A couple of their softer songs:
- The Clock Ticks On: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvbTRPlH9DY
- 25 Years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUj5p9nwOL0
- Shadow of the Moon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3_Uo3mr30A
- Play Minstrel Play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR6VTdXAPUI (w/ Ian Anderson guest flutist)

I've lately been enjoying this epicly stupid stupdly epic thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkUAzcja74Y

Full album:
https://open.spotify.com/album/5Eqt.....TcyHVSJtfFDM3Q

THAT WAS BOTH RIDICULOUS AND AWESOME!!!
What a banger of a track!!
I've been listening to a lot of Future Funk lately, with half alive being my go to!

Very groovy choreography in that vid. :)

My favourite Album

I often listen to when I need to concentrate. Especially the songs "A/B" and "Tour de France". :3

Late reply is late, but WHAT A JAM THIS IS. (Also ty for linking a full album that has the track timestamps in the description, that's so helpful!) I'd never heard of Telex before, but this is great, upbeat bg music! Tysm for sharing with me!!

I've got a couple albums that are my go-to's:
1. 10,000 Days - Tool (for when I REALLY have to buckle down and get stuff done)
2. Dear Wormwood - The Oh Hellos (for chill everyday jams, also nice to drive to. I love their lyrics. GREAT live show, too, if you like indie music)
3. Now, Not Yet - Half-Alive (electrofunk band, I think might be up your alley after listening to your fave album!)

I mean, it depends a bit on what you're shooting for as far as the purpose of the music? I've mostly been buried in classic rock lately.

Late reply is late, but anything and everything! I'm always on the lookout for good jams to listen to in the car or while working!
Classic rock always makes me think of summer, my family had mix CD's we'd put on blast while doing yard work or driving with the windows down. This track jumped in my head first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZQxH_8raCI
