Collected Thoughts

What kind of music would work for you in the LotR character case.

It's going to be easiest to get me with folky or orchestra, I suspect. Foreign-language might work too, if it's not too poppy.

Also with Stargate what kind of music do you perfer. By Top 40 do you mean most things played on the radio or just typical pop songs?

With Stargate I'm more flexible; I mostly just need not to bounce off of the song thinking "uh, you know the characters are in their thirties and forties, right?" I'm pretty sure this is, to some extent, as much a function of familiarity as age, though. I'm sure there are plenty of songs from the 90s that, because I'm not familiar with them, would work for me. Something that was a big hit in my lifetime is going to have strong associations for me, though, and that can get in the way of my enjoying a vid if those associations don't fit what I'm seeing on the screen.
