Hi All,
I don't know if anyone else has thought of this or discussed it, but I just can't stop assigning a soundtrack to ASOIAF. Or particular characters. Has anyone else thought this? I did see one comment stating that Sansa has travelled from minstrel songs to death metal and found that amusing.
So, I ask you - what song/artist fits which character?
I'll start off - I see Jaime as some sort of ballady Metallica song. From Load or afterwards - maybe "Outlaw Torn" or "Bleeding Me"(Could be Lord Bolton with those lyrics, really). Actually, there's a few Metallica songs that would fit in (I am going through a sort of Metal renaissance right now, please excuse the nostalgia).
There's "Of Wolf and Man" of course, and "The Unforgiven" - very Stark. And "Master of Puppets"...the list goes on. Anyways, I'll open the floor for better suggestions than mine...
 
Bran would have "Hungry like a Wolf" by Duran Duran

Tyrion would have something by Johnny Cash

Cersei would have some hoochie song like "I'm a Survivor", TLC or Pussycat Dolls

Robert would have "Mamma said knock you out" by LL Cool J

Jaime would have "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones

Melissandre would have "Fire Woman" by The Cult

Brienne would have "The Long and Winding Road" by The Beatles

Sandor would have a dark and tormented goth song like something from Bauhaus, Joy Division or the Cure

...drawing a blank...
 
I always heard Cersei with "With or Without You", by U2.

I forget the name, but that song that goes, "Can't start a fire, can't start a fire without a spark..." goes with Dany.

I can't think of anymore....

It's "Dancing in the Dark" by Bruce Springsteen
 
I can see Stoneheart advancing on some hapless Frey, red eyes gleaming inside her hood, set to 'Night on Bald Mountain'...

Sandor, I think - "Burn" by Nine Inch Nails. lyrics and name seem appropriate.
 
Instead of a Soundtrack, I started thinking in terms of song titles. I am not trying to creat an emotional backdrop for characters or scenes, I'm just trying to be cute with applying song titles to characters.

This list is long because I'm lumping the good in with the bad. The list is in rough chronological order.

Most of the songs are from the eighties, so if you are between the ages of 35 and 43, then you should get most of these. The titles are from popular songs spanning the last fifty years or so.

PS - If a mod wants to delete this, feel free.

PPS - I know I've probably missed many obvious ones. Post em if you want.
 
LOL! Excellent - yes, some are truly awful, but some are inspired - content as well as title, like "Jaqen – Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"
I actually like him a smidgen more now because of that.
And Renly's "I’m too sexy" is perfect - tho in his case, its "I'm too sexy for my life".
I'm just impressed you havr that many song titles in your head at any one time.
 
Boaz - well done, ser!!

I thought "Blinded by the Light" for Stannis was particularly good.
 
Do I really have Sheryl Crow song titles? Titles get used by many artists, some are obscure... if I'd had to list all the artists, I'd still be typing.

Dancing in the Dark? From the Boss.

I can't think of that song without picturing Courtney Cox prancing about the stage.
 
Boaz-Great list! It took me forever to scroll down.

Perhaps a wee-bit too much free time on your hands?...
 
Yes, Wil.

Say that reminds me...

Viserys - Too much time on my hands
 
Heehee...I downloaded all those songs(that i didn't already have) and now have a playlist entitled "The Songs of Ice and Fire".
 
Daenerys-The Unforgettable Fire

Thoros(before his restoration of faith)-Losing My Religion

Bran(pre-fall)-Climbing Up the Walls

Okay, Arya's theme song as of now is Nobody's Home by Avril Lavigne, everyone go listen to it, particularly the lyrics. It's a perfect fit.

Wow, SW, I didn't picture you to be an Avril Lavigne fan. Who's the skaterboy in your life?:D
