I'll always be a "Champion" at heart. My server away from home.

Awesome scrapper music. Just awesome.
Collapsing New Buildings is pretty scrapperish.

I can imagine a few scrappers would fit this song well.

I always think of a scrapper casually walking up, their cape flapping around their legs, the sky overcast (not happening Paragon I know, but still), steam rising from a street grate, and a startled pigeon taking wing. A group of baddies notices the scrappers approach, and rush him/her. The scrapper continues on, unfazed with out breaking stride, the bodies of the bad guys dropping down around him.

I've had almost that exact same link open in my browser nonstop since that episode aired, and I agree with you completely. It's great... Especially when you see it in the context of the episode. So badass.

I skimmed most the thread, and didn't see this, so I'm assuming it hasn't been posted, but it fits great, and isn't all screechy, shouty, unintelligible like a lot of whats been thrown up.

I see pure scrappage as more zen than violent violence and brute force/rage. I think a lot of the songs I opened before posting fit a brute very well, but don't sing scrapper to me.

Took a bit to track it down, but the first song on this link (It's 2 background songs from Samurai Jack episodes) is also very much like what you're talking about.

The scrapper is the calm in the storm. The leaf on the wind. Watch how he soars.

I like a few of the songs posted in this thread already.

Here's one a bit more recent that I found. It's "This is War" by Thirty Seconds to Mars. It's part of the official soundtrack of the RPG: Dragon Age by BioWare.
