Eh, taste in music is very personal, and what works for one person (or one
group) may not have the same associations for another.  I mean, you can't
go wrong with Holst's "The Planets" or Orff's "Carmina Burana" (unless
you're a Highlander movie, I guess).  But I can imagine using everything
from Led Zeppelin's "In the Evening" (which I'm listening to right now) to
"Kerosene" by Big Black.  Or if the mood or theme was right, "Chapel of
Love" by (IIRC) Jan and Dean.  

Generally though, I don't like to have music playing in the background
while I game.  I might do an intro piece to set the mood.  I've often
thought that playing the same song at the beginning of each session --
theme music -- might eventually create some kind of pavlovian resonance
that gets people's game faces on quicker.  But I haven't experimented yet.
