This.

And then there was Guitar Hero and Dragonforce.

ohhhhhh yeah... have you seen the music video on YouTube? it's frickin nuts.

RedLion:
Man. GTA: Vice City was the first game that got me into rock music. Before that, I listened to--no joke--showtunes, mostly. But then I heard "Bark at the Moon" on one of the radio stations in the game and became sadly convinced that Ozzy Osbourne was the coolest shit in the word. So I started listening to him, then got further in rock, into Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Who, etc, and only listened to classic rock for awhile. Then I got into Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan which turned me onto folk, and I also got into blues and jazz, then started listening to some alternative music and indie, and nowadays I don't listen to things like Ozzy Osbourne at all anymore. I have had a strange musical journey.

CarrionMan:
My brother downloads every song on Rock Band in iTunes. And now he has it all on a playlist on his iPod. Bah.

Hmm… Not really a game soundtrack but I started listening to more Smashing Pumpkins because of their role in the Watchmen trailer. And GH & RB have revived my love of classic rock(The Who, Bowie, Springsteen[not really]). And my love of singing loudly while taking my daily walk with my dad.

Mostly, I lift my music off of Jack FM, or if it is in a movie or something. I like instrumentals from games, Marty O'Donnell and the such, but, really, not many games have enlightened my music appetite.

keikun496:
Sadly, most of the songs in the GH series, and RB were unfamiliar to me. So, I could probably say almost all the bands in those games I discovered through the game alone.

teh pwn queen:
Well, in one case it was just a song of a band I didn't really know, but the other was a full fledge love of a band.

1.) Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones on Twisted Metal: Black
 ~awesome game, awesome theme song
 ~oh, and I loved the soundtracks of all the other twisted metal games as well (especially the tracks that the characters speak, SO funny)... so I suppose I fell in love with Rob Zombie's work because of that game as well... I remember watching the Matrix when I was 11 saying during the club scene... "Oh, oh! That song is on twisted metal!!" Good times.

2.) Freezepop ala GH I and II
 ~Heard Get Ready 2 Rokk on the first game, thought it was pretty sweet.  Then heard Less Talk More Rokk on the second and basically said, "Ok, that's it, time to find out more about them... which lead me to Stake-out, Science Genius Girl, and Parlez vous Freezepop. Oh yeah...
