Post any songs, albums, or artists you think are appropriate in any way for any movies, tv shows, games, novels, genres, characters or anything else but where this connections was not obviously intentional (so for instance you can't say the Bond Theme is appropriate for a Bond movie, or that
Skullcrusher Mountain is appropriate for a Bond movie). The exact reason you associate the two and in what way you associate them is entirely up to you.
Perhaps you think the lyrics describe a character or situation, the beat matches the flow of action, the emotional tone of the two somehow meshes well, that a song from one movie or game would work well for another, or you find yourself listening to a particular song when reading a particular book. It could even be the music video, concert, cover, or some other thing related to the music rather than the music itself. Also feel free to look through your music to figure on new similarities if you want, it isn't limited only to stuff you haven't noticed before.
If you can, it would help to explain as best as possible why you link the two (although I know this might be hard). If the lyrics are important post them here (if that is allowed, mods will have to weigh in on that, we may have to link to them). Posting links to the music (no illegal downloads, of course) can also help but is not mandatory.
For some examples (I'll leave the ones with lyrics until a ruling on the above issue):
A classic example is the
Dark Side of the Moon album by Pink Floyd and the Wizard of Oz
It may be subconscious due to the nature of the movie, but I always sort of picture a Metroid intro sequence when I listen to the
Terminator theme song, sort of like the SM intro. It has brief heavy beats for Samus's first appearance and important events that just feel they should belong to something powerful, with longer, calmer, but somewhat sad-feeling sections between them for the rest of the story.
I also thought think that
Heaven by DJ Sammy would make great boss battle music for a high-speed sort of battle in something like Metroid or Zelda, especially one that goes through several stages, if it wasn't for the lyrics. It just has the sort of high-intensity beat that I think works well for a boss battle and some good transitions.
The
theme from Remember the Titans (Titan's Spirit, at least the initial part) seems like good ending music for a game, particular something like a mario game where they are showing all the areas you have visited in the game.
