What Are Your Favorite WoW Music Tracks?

As the topic asks.

I have quite a few music tracks I've loved in WoW. Every time I enter a zone that plays music I like a lot, I intend to take my sweet precious time with whatever I'll be doing there just to listen to the music.

Here are the music tracks that occur in these zones that are on my top list:
Dun Morogh/Arathi Highlands/Winterspring (Tracks before Cata).
Loch Modan/Hillsbrad Foothills/The Hinterlands.
Ironforge.
Ashenvale/Teldrassil.
Shadowfang Keep (Two Battle songs play here I love. One occurs when you first enter the courtyard of SFK and another in the same room where the huge worg boss is.)
There is also one track I love to listen that sounds gloomy. It plays when inside a building sometimes. First time I heard this was inside the blacksmith's building in Kharanos. I'm listening to it while being inside a tower in Theramore Isle right now.
Then there's one that my EpicMusicPlayer calls Night Elves 5 Cataclysm. I think it occurs in the first town in Hyjal as an introduction song. It has a choir of sopranos singing arias.

Then, there are music tracks that are not on the top list but I enjoy nevertheless:
The Barrens (Before Cata)
Mulgore/Thousand Needles/Durotar.
Wailing Caverns/Tanaris/Blackfathom Deeps.
Dalaran.
Wetlands/Un'Goro Crater.

The nyckelharpa music from Grizzly Hills. And there's a song I think of as the "sad Hyjal music" that plays in the Regrowth where Magria and Ankha spawn. There are more, but those are the two that are on my mind at the moment.

Oh gosh..
My two favorites are:
Lament of the Highborn
and Xaxas (from the Cata cinimatic, but without Deathwing speaking)

I completely ADORE the TBC soundtracks. But the Kharazan Opera theme takes the cake there. (But cake is a lie..)

Well.. yep.. ._.

This almost feels like an impossible question to answer, the soundtrack for this game is phenomenal. I'll try to choose a few though. Let's see...

The Undead Inns used to have this wonderful eerie track, but sadly I don't think it's still in game anywhere since the revamp to the new Forsaken architecture. I used to sit in Brill and listen to it all the time. Anyways, it was certainly one of my favourites:

I really really love this track that's used in both Ahn'Qiraj and Zangarmarsh (and probably a couple other places):
http://youtu.be/07SahS27dnk

Nightsong, one of the new Cataclysm tracks, is probably a favourite of many people:

Gah, there's so many tracks I could mention. I love the Storm Peaks music. Teldrassil will always be nostalgic for me since it was the first music I ever heard when I started playing WoW. Eversong Woods has a similar sort of nostalgia from the BC days. Sunwell Plateau, man that place has amazing music. Howling Fjord is beautiful. Ulduar.

The new MoP soundtrack is shaping up to be one of my favourites as well.

I love the music in Feralas. I spent hours there just listening to it.

And Mulgore, after Cata hit I think it chaged a bit to a sad song. I always think of it in memory of the Tauren grandma who died in the starter area. So sad and beautiful. Mulgore is my favorite zone in the game, Thunderbluff the best capital ever and the music makes it even better.

The music you can hear on the ships and in taverns like Bootybay. Really nice and makes me happy.

Nice, but not my favorite: Eversong woods during the day

very soothing is the music in Crystalsong forest:

and I love the haunted music, it always reminds me of the march of the elves in lord of the rings when they wander towards the shore to leave this world.

I could post tons of more links, I really love the wow music. But best for me will always be Feralas and Mulgore

Well let's see, if I break it down by type then...

Zone: I'm gonna have to go with Grizzly Hills. I should note that I've always been fond of Mulgore and Barrens music. I still like those, but when they were updated for Cata they took on a sad, worried, and sorta lonely tone.
City: Thunder Bluff. Hands down my favorite. It's peaceful and steady. Dalaran comes in second, I think.
Inn: Tauren inn music. Like the TB music, it just seems do calm and relaxing
Instance/Raid Overall 'theme': Ulduar
Instance/Raid 'specific': Karazahn opera.

Oh boy where do I start. Just going to start listing songs I can remember off the top of my head.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3jSY5fIeDA - Bronjahm's Theme

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfJYzZ-PC9g - Echoes of the Past

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqsazZUbt9s - Legends of Azeroth. The original title song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUmD0T-IYn4 - This song played at a few different places such as Shadowfang Keep and Molten Core.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCLJjV3Ewpc - All of the AQ music still gives me the chills. Only raid that actually gave me the feeling of being lost and alone. Not even Naxx or ICC gave me this feeling. In fact, I had to play more chilling music during Naxx and ICC to give them more atmosphere.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go0uhWqHqoU - The song that starts at 7:00 to 7:50. I remember it was called Owlbear Walk in the MPQ files. This was the song that played in Tempest Keep before it had it's own music. I really wish they just kept it in that instance.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR7bqc2mheA Karazhan was an amazing instance, but it was rushed into BC and I personally remember when it had no music! It wasn't until I went back to it later in BC on an alt that it had music and it is just as amazing as the instance.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXMguMnsyak - I may not be fond of night elves as a race, but I love their music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WdZIEtLGQo - Shalandis Isle. Used to be at one small island in Ghostlands. Now some parts of this song play at the Temple of the Moon in Darnassus.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx-yE6cvtiM - I used to listen to the dwarf tavern music while studying for exams in college.

The song they used for the online atlas: The Shaping of the World:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhrxGCMzRL0

The song that plays in the secret faerie dragon mushroom circle

: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsrEIRbZIjs

Some of the nightime music at the Argent Tournament, I loved it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YKl-EcJRfY

Some of the ones I love, but I also like the eerie cata music called Burning Steppes in the files: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGYRIf6RdS4

The song the siren sings in that Alliance quest on the boat in Twilight Highlands.

(edit) which is apparently an abbreviated version of the Nightsong track.

Miacoda · **Posted:** Tue May 08, 2012 2:03 pm

Hmmm...

Prepare yourselves... this may be a long list.

Nightsong (My all time favorite)
Temple of the Moon
The Storm Peaks
Karazhan
Invincible (I still tear up sometimes when I listen to this...)
Xaxas
Arthas, My Son
Twilight Vale (especially around 1:04)
Sunwell Plateau
Ulduar Titan Music
Dark Ironforge (an anything else that is/is based on the Ulduar music)
The Culling of Stratholme
All Night Elf Music
Faerie Dragon
Rise of the Vrykul
Howling Fjord
Northrend Transport Music
Grizzly Hills
And... some of the music in Black Temple and Sunwell is really good.

And... so much more. XD
A lot more Wrath music, that's for sure, hehe.

I like all music with singing best, especially the haunted-sounding choirs of Arthas, Nightsong, etc. Nightsong is definitely the best song in Cata. I love Lament of the Highborne too, of course. I remember loving the Night elf music all the way from Vanilla:

But I have to say Grizzly Hills music is the worst. I always leg it out of the zone as quickly as I can. Sholazar and Dalaran music I enjoyed a lot.

I've had music turned off for...man I don't know. Probably my first month or so of WoW. It competes too much with ventrilo. xD But...Nightsong...wow. That is fantastic! I felt like I was watching one of those vamp up to the battle parts of a movie.

My boyfriend has a thing for nice female singing voices, going to have to make him listen to that one. o:
