Another idea from reading Umbrals thread, let's assign the various pathfinder classes Music Genres, or songs or such. Heck, maybe even the archetypes.
I can think of a few.
Hell Knight/Antipaladin: Heavy metal
Gunslinger: Country
Swashbuckler/Bard: Cinema style dramatic soundtrack
Inquisitor: Any Castlevania song ever
Fighter/Paladin: Medieval style stuff
Barbarian/Druid: Tribal
Cleric: Hymns
I like Barbarians being "Let the Bodies hit the floor" by Drowning Pool. With their rage powers, I tend to think of them as fast paced metal. System of a Down and such. Something you could mosh to.
For Paladins, I'd think more marching style classical. Think John Phillips Sousa or 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky. I think of them as spirited and martial.
Avenged Sevenfold=Antipaladin/A cannibal

Obviously
Brawler: Eye of the Tiger
Wizard: Stoner Rock
Oracle: Gothic Dance (New order/ depeche mode)
Core Classes
Barbarian: Any Thrash Metal
Bard: This
Good Cleric: Church hymens
Neutral Cleric: This
Evil Cleric: Death Metal. Definitely Death Metal.
Druid: This
Monk: Monastic Chants
Paladin: This. Most definitely this.
Paladin (When Fighting Evil): This
Ranger: This
Rogue: As it relates to the specific game at the very least.

Wizard: This
Obviously
Brawler: Eye of the Tiger
Just that makes me want to play a Brawler.
Bard: Juke Box Hero?
Rogue - Anything off the soundtrack to The Warriors
Oriental music works quite well for oracles imo, especially the more chillout-oriented tracks. Wizards are quite hard to pin down as the different schools have different themes, but I tend to see them as somewhat... jazzy.
I would go with traditional heavy metal for fighters and some of their subtypes. I am tempted to go with blues for rogues and investigators, especially the urban ones.
Surprised no one has mentioned Skald as being something akin to heavy or death metal.
Hell one of my players made his Skald, basically a punk metalhead girl as soon as they saw the class.
Wendy Rule has several songs that just SCREAM Witch (Hecate being the one that most comes to mind).
Ceridwen and Taliesin by Dahm the Bard is also a fairly Witchy song (though I guess works for bards too... ugh!)
Green and Grey (By Dahm the Bard) is like a Druid anthem!
