Also... if anyone thinks i'm being elitist about this, I'm not.
Although I was poking fun at GFKs description (BTW, I actually used to play the spoons in a bluegrass band), I liked it. I mostly listen to instrumental music. As a musician, I enjoy creating music inspired by middle-eastern, orient, celtic and Native American styles. In fact, the Native American flute has become my "main" instrument.Go with what feels right for your game, and for any game, you should provide the option to turn the music off (I never listen to music in games).
