What's Your Go-to Music for Level Grinding Sessions?

[Scotty Scotty]

As some of you probably know, I've been replaying the original "MOTHER" for the Famicom alongside the recent "EarthBound Beginnings Remake" done in the 2nd game's engine (More specifically with the original version, I'm playing "MOTHER Restored" alongside the "Earth Bound" prototype).

As of writing this, I am currently grinding a bit across all 3 saves so I can have an easier time fighting the Dragon for the 6th Melody. This fight is notoriously difficult unless you do a certain exploit that makes the fight significantly shorter.

A common practice among the gaming community is to put on some music during lengthy grinding sessions to lessen the boredom. For me in particular, I'll often put on some of my favorite Sega Genesis soundtracks ("Streets of Rage 1 & 2," "Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon," "Ys III," "E-SWAT," the list goes on).

Out of morbid curiosity, what's your guys' go-to grinding music?

These days, I mostly use my grind time to curate my music backlog. Right now I'm going through a lot of Pink Floyd's discography, though this album by Mystery Jets is getting my attention:

Mystery Jets - Radlands (Full Album)

Well... When I play a game, I usually listen to the music from that game. I find music from outside a game a little off.

Cursed Cathedral from Mario Mystery Meat, a whole bunch of SiivaGunner rips, FFX Soundtrack, and now 302? ionwan2go (or Serenade Of Red Moon Of Adulthood from Love Hina Advance: Blessings Ring in the Bell? if you want to technical.)
