Lee,
I used to dismiss heavy metal out of hand, but as I get older I find I'm less picky. I even like some disco! (Don't tell anyone.)
The soundtrack for the movie Heavy Metal (1981) is pretty good for background, not heavy at all of course.

Speaking of songs keyed to specific in-game events, I'm playing in a home-brew PBEM (Day of the Dead: Black Horse) and our PCs went on a mounted patrol of Helena MT to pick up a mobile MRI and medical supplies at a hospital. My PC was chewed out for playing "Running with the Devil" by Van Halen on the Humvee's interior sound system because the music might attract the geeks/zeds.
