In RPGs, generally we've used Enigma, NiN, and a bunch of others but I
can't stand Pink Floyd as background music for anything ... My roommate
(when I was up at Texas A&M) was listening to some (Wish you were here,
IIRC) and it sounded good ... so I left it on when he left ... at the
same time I started doing something on my comp (Doom, I think) and that
CD made my skin crawl! I stopped and listened to it and everything was
fine ... but when I faded it to background status, it really wierded me
out so I put on NiN (Pretty Hate Machine) ... nope, no Pink Floyd as
background music ... (at least not that CD :)
