Okay.  If any of you have been on the Amber mailing list, you know how many people think that Queen's "Princes of the Universe" should be the theme for Amber.  Well, that's not what this page is for.  This is where I'm going to list each Amberite and the major Chaosians that Zelazny made, and beside their name I'll put a song and the name of the band who made that song.  Said song should fit the character as closely as possible.  I don't have songs for most of the characters, so if you'd like to contribute, please do so; I'll even put your name next to your submission, if you'd like.  And also, if at all possible, send me a copy of the lyrics as well.

All Amberites In General:  "The Way" - Fastball (next time you hear it, listen closely to the lyrics)
                                                  "Dreamline" - Rush -- from The Story Girl

Dworkin Barimen:  "I'm Going Slightly Mad" - Queen -- from Kria
                             "Indiscipline" - King Crimson -- from The Story Girl
                                 "Basket Case" - Green Day  (hey, it kinda fits;)
Oberon:  "Master of Puppets" - Metallica  (this kinda fits, too.)
Finndo:???
Osric:???
Benedict:  "Broadsword" - Jethro Tull -- from Peryton334
Eric:???
Corwin:  "Amnesia" - Chumbawamba -- from Korendir Crynth
           I was listening to the radio the other day and heard this song.  Listening to the lyrics, I
             decided that this, too, could be a theme for Corwin: "Rooster" - Alice In Chains
            "Unforgiven" - Metallica  -- from kain-godai
Caine:  "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" - AC/DC -- from SimAmber (thx. for correcting it, whoever you were; I lost your e-mail)
Deirdre:   "Pictures of You" - The Cure -- from The Story Girl
              "Wild Wind" - Kate Power -- from Paper
Fiona:  "Bitch" - Merredith Brooks -- from Chickenknight, & The Story Girl
Bleys:  "The God That Failed" - Metallica -- from Lady Sand
          "Another One Bites the Dust" - Queen -- from The Story Girl
          "O Lord, It's Hard to Be Humble" - Tom Jones -- from SimAmber
Llewella: "Green Eyed Lady" - Van Morrison(?) -- Saint Raven
Brand:  "Behind Blue Eyes" - The Who -- from Elemek
           "Gimme the Prize (Kurgan's Theme)" - Queen -- from Lady Sand
           "This Is the Moment" - Jekyll and Hyde -- from The Story Girl
           "You're So Vain" - Carly Simon -- from SimAmber
           "Sunshine Superman" - Donovan -- from MaBarry
         I have two ideas for him.  Either the gothic sounding remix of Bush's "Mouth" (the one with
          all the organ sounds) or Metallica's "The God That Failed".  The first one because the lyrics
          sound like Brand talking to Deirdre when they're sitting at the bottom of the Abyss, and the
          second just because it seems to fit.
Flora:   "Sex" - Berlin (okay, I know that she may get pissed at me for saying this one, but I don-----
           *dodges a hand grenade*)
Julian:   "Lament of McCrimmon/Song of the Banshee" - Sheila Chandra -- from Paper
