Re: Music Suggestions..
Feck... Lol at this post. Kinda heavy on the otaku stuff but you guys already stole the other ones I might have mentioned.
I do like these threads. Always good for adding something new to the playlists/car CD collection no matter how many times they come up. The majority of my stuff is made up of rock, prog-rock, various electronic, and classic(ish), but I'm always looking for other interesting bits to add too.
Right now I happen to be listening to this...

Found it just now simply looking for Homeworld vids, but quite like the music too. Might just look up more Muse.
For game OSTs, despite never playing any of the games I've always liked the Guilty Gear sound track. Before I knew the prog-rock genre I used to refer to this and similar stuff as "epic rock". Term still fits.
(Hmm, the sound quality of these vids is rather bad, but hopefully good enough for a taste.)

I've recently been listening to some rather unusual game OST albums, from Ar-Tonelico. Not played it either, only watched a bit whilst a friend was playing, but it's the JRPG famous for it's brilliantly unsubtle and utterly relentless innuendos. A video from it about, "gently inserting a crystal all the way" and such was posted here some time back. Not sure if it's the kind of stuff your looking for, but I'll post a bit anyway.

Sung in Hymnos an artificial language created for the game, designed specifically for singing.
And getting to the sub genre that makes up 80% of my music folder, I suppose I can vouch for the Touhou Project too. =)
Commence link spam. Click as many or little as you like. This list is actually something I put together elsewhere earlier, so is not necessarily aimed suggestions, but I'll just let you make what you want of it.
(Misc note. I'm friggin awful with genre names, and thus for most of these I've just agreed with the uploader, or else don't know any better if my assigned genres are a poor match. Also, you'll notice I get lazy further down.)

And since you mentioned rap, I'll add a remix from Viotix. Not quite my thing, but if anyone's ever wanted to hear a Touhou x Beastie Boys mix...
