So I was explaining to Vorac how System of a Down sucked 3 different ways: "so hard", "so much", and "so long" when I remembered something I wanted to try here.

Let's say you were given an ingame activity or city zone as inspiration, what song would you pick as a theme for it?

For examples:

Siren's Call Theme Song = Headhunter 2.0 by Front 242

Boomtown Theme song = Boom by P.O.D.

Got it?


All right.

Post your theme song to the previous poster's avtivity or city zone, then propose your own.


Start :

Rescuing little old lady's purse from Hellions

City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.
