What is your RINGTONE?!

General - Hysteria - Muse
Text - That iphone glass ting sound
Various friends;
Bad Romance - Lady GaGa (one friend loves the song when he's wasted thus it became his)
Can't Stop - RHCP
Welcome Home - Coheed and Cambria
Lucid Dreams - Franz Ferdinand
Supermassive Black Hole - Muse
Seven Nation Army - White Stripes

Alarm - either SBH or Welcome Home.
 
My general ringtone is "The Science of Selling Yourself Short" by Less Than Jake, but a few of my friends have custom ringtones:

-Some Led Zeppelin song I can't remember the name of
-All or Nothing - Europe
-Dr. Feelgood - Motley Crue
-Play With Me - Extreme
-Decadence Dance - Extreme
 
I don't have anything in the way of ringtones - 1/3 because I'm lazy, 1/3 because I'm broke, and 1/3 because I don't care. However, I do have for my voicemail message a recording of "Bike" by Pink Floyd of which anyone and everyone is subjected to.
 
Still getting used to the new (for me) experience of having a cell phone, but anyway I like gadgets and I've spent some time customizing it (replaced the Nokia 2630 given to me by my double bass master for a Nokia 5130).

I created this ringtone for calls from unknown people. Rough translation: "Attention: Some double-triple-quadruple son of a (BEEP) is calling".

And alternate it with this one, which I created because I've always said that a cell phone's ringtone mirrors its owner's personality and/or tastes. I think this is a good sample.

This one for an accomplished guitarist friend of mine who loves Stevie Ray Vaughan's music.

This one for a drummer.

This one goes for a Salsa/Latin Jazz pianist.

And this one for my double bass master, who leads a traditional jazz band (that's his band on the recording).

This one is for a friend known as "Jaws".

And finally, this one for a bald guy, dad of one of my bandmates.

:D :cool:

(Of course, I switch the phone to vibrate mode when necessary)
 
Mine goes:

Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun...DUN
