I don't listen to anything outside of the game when I am playing. When Dromeding it is most often dark ambient music or a Thief soundtrack, but on occasion I want something more blood-pumping, and it is usually Opeth or Amon Amarth for those situations.

If I'm completely familiar with a game, I will often do a play-through while listening to music. I still do this with 'Doom', TBH.
I do have some modded OMs for Thief (The FUBAR install I calls it). Extra guards, sh*t loads of zombies and a maxed out arsenal (tweaked the fire arrow velocity for effect).
Yup, I do likes me some Swedish Metal.
One for the Pagans......

Although the sound in Thief games definitively is important and creates beautiful ambience and atmosphere, I do like to listen to music, if I know the mission I am playing very well, or if it is not particularly challenging. If I listen to music, it is mostly music, that I have been listening to in the early 00s, when I have discovered Fanmissions. So mostly I am listening to some German medieval rock, or fantasy themed metal.

I don't like to listen to anything but the FM when I'm playing it. That's it there, for whatever reason.
When building, pretty diverse, but often stuff from the people here, like Fen, some Twitch steamers (wish they'd pay a bit more attention to what they're playing, tho, then talking to their streamers.. YAWN) and also, newest, the Thief podcast.
It's hard to focus on speaking when building, sometimes, though, and you just need some kind of sound.
For music.. everywhere. I focus better on work with non-lyrical music, typically, and with our last build we pretty much milked the shit out of the Gaelic and Viking music. Right now, I just can't bring myself to listen to it for a long while. Here are some examples, though.

When indecised, I always go back to TDP.. the sound is still amazing. What talented Taffers.

And then, there are late nights of building when you need a bit more. Something new is always appreciated.

If I'm playing the latest FM, fear not gentle author, you have my undivided attention. No sounds shall assail mine ears whilst I indulge in your wondrous creation, save those you have chosen for me to hear.
Thief has enormous replay value, for me. I have favourite FMs I replay on a regular basis. Benny's Dead was my first FM and I do like to play it when I'm feeling nostalgic for the old days of Ttlg. I do, however, supply my own soundtrack from time to time (whilst quaffing a nice glass of Pinot Noir). I do draw the line at full Cosplay though, when replaying missions.
Some nice music suggestions on here, I will have to check these out.
Edit: Prokofiev is possibly my favourite modern composer. I have been known to listen to 'The Crusaders in Pskov' while descending into the Maw!

It need not be music you listen to while playing, just music that would give you a Thief 'vibe', as it were.
I want to pick your musical brains, gosh darn it!

Ahh, Renaissance Hits! I remember when that one went to #1 back in the summer of... 1437? or was it '38? :D
Seriously though, that's a really nice piece, makes me feel like I'm in an old dusty tavern cradling a mug of mead in the corner, trying to stay unnoticed by the other patrons.
