Just a short one today: what's the music that you most associate with Fighting Fantasy? For me it is the unmistakable sound of some of the early albums by rock gods Queen. In particular, their second album, the unimaginatively titled but utterly awesome Queen II.
This is one hell of an album, only one weak track on it (can you guess which one I'm thinking of?). I'd like to say that I associate this album with FF because of its epic fantasy theme, but I think it might be more because my older brother was majorly into Queen when I first got into FF and their albums were the constant soundtrack in our bedroom at the time, creating a long-lasting, deep-rooted connection in my mind with the world of Fighting Fantasy (mind you, he was also into Iron Maiden, but I never formed the same attachment to that, nor to Queen's later stuff, which he also played a lot). It's not just this album actually, although it is probably Queen's best IMO; A Night at the Opera (again especially the mystical fantasy themed The Prophet's Song, so maybe there is a fantasy connection after all) and A Day at the Races are both forever linked in my mind with the early years of FF, up to and including Titan - The Fighting Fantasy World. Both great albums, especially A Day at the Races (though there are a couple of duff tracks on there too).
What's the music that most connects with Fighting Fantasy for you?
