I’m trying to compile a playlist for an upcoming encounter with my PC’s. I want the music to evoke a sense of ultimate purpose, despair, and exhilaration. The encounter will be the PC’s (Gestalt and Mythic) vs. Cthulhu from Bestiary 4. I’m having trouble trying to think of appropriate music that’s not also super cliché for a fantasy final boss. Ghost Love Score by Night Wish is about as cliché as I want the music to get. No One Winged Angel, or other over-played songs, and more modern genres are accepted too, as long as player familiarity to, say, the lyrics doesn’t become a distraction (Play With Me by Extreme doesn't quite fit the bill, but that's in the direction I'm going for).
Can anyone lend me some suggestions (artist/song, or even just an artist)? I’d really love to make this encounter as memorable as possible!

Haha although I do appreciate the word play, and the song itself certainly fits the criteria, I'm afraid it's too familiar/singable and would become more of a distraction as everyone would revert to just rocking out.

I like this song for two reasons: The title fits the encounter perfectly, and it holds up to what I want the music to do without being obtrusive (the actual fight should be more entertaining than the music). Good suggestion! :)

I had this in my head the moment I saw the thread title. -__-
