A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.
PC
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
Garden of Life (Sholazar Basin)
One of WoW's music that really sound like JRPGs, maybe that is why is one of the best. Hahaha
Tell me what you want about World of Warcraft or Blizzard in general nowadays, but Blizzard always have had some of the best composers out there who have produced one of the best VGMs of all time, like this masterpiece!
My favorite music from any location in all of WoW. I'd sit in Sholazar Basin for a good 20~40 minutes on a weekly basis to listen to this, no matter which character I'd be leveling. For me, this place was a mandatory stop for every single character of mine. It also helped make farming not so boring when seeking to tame the spirit leopard on my hunter. :)
Same, i even return there so now and then while que'ing for casual stuff
More SHINIES!
Thats a thing i hope people can realise in wow, that the music and story are actually very good and shows how much care they put in a game! =) even if you dont like MMO or the art style, wow still has some good qualities to it!
there were music in wow ? never heard of that xD
argh, why did you mentioned it?! i feel the urge to get back my ps2 :(
Was this is Sholozar? Because I never heard it while leveling there...
Say what you will, but WoW gave me some of my fondest memories back before I decided to quit. It's a solid game until you're burnt out on it - kinda like what happens with any other Blizzard game, actually. Yeah, some aspects of WoW seem like they'd make it a little too repetitive, but being new at the game is like stepping into a world just waiting to be completely discovered and conquered - and meanwhile, if you're lucky, your friends/family are experiencing it the same way alongside you.
Am I the only one that thinks of Dark Cloud music when I hear this?
That feel when Sholazar Basin and Grizzly Hills have amazing tracts and are played in sequence. One of the best parts of leveling.
thank god this is on the list... being a druid, this one sounded so much like nature, a place of warmth and life, filled with trees, waters, and filled with peace, the opposite of its surroundings (remember, WotLK) which were the cold, frozen mountains or tundras of the dead or damned, trampled on by warring nations, (Alliance, Horde, Arthas' Scourge, Dragonfligts, Ebon Blade, Argent Crusade, etc) , which is why i think i like it so much
@electricmastro ignorance, much?
@electricmastro the game is awesome
Pretty atmospheric considering it's from a game with warcraft in the title, :P
@MrAgnost ....wow has a ton of soundtracks worth hearing them
While flying through Sholazar, I was constantly tabbing into windows to see if I had some older "Tales of..." track running in Winamp. This was really never a theme that fit entirely into WoW, but it's great and chilling nevertheless.
WoW always had a good few decent tracks, and Cataclysm has introduced a whole bunch more, in a more vibrant vein than many of the more ambient tracks. It's worth checking out ^^
Soo-Dryskin. Like?
duh dumbshit in the later patches
@darkchip1 Most likely you'll be able to face him in Februari/Mars
Hes gonna be the last boss in Icecrown Citadel in 3.3 I heard its coming out this month
yes
will wow make the lich king a boss
Man you gotta put the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj interior music on your list, it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
It's a shame that World of Warcraft's music is so under appreciated. I'm surprised whenever I hear people don't play the game without sound or music, when having both running at the same time can make some of the most epic battles in the game escalate to an entirely new level. A perfect example of this is Yogg-saron. If your guild decides to check him out again, be sure you turn your sound and music on. It'll blow your mind.
the most spiritual and moving music i have ever heard in my life, truly an epic... peaceful, calming, and defiantly a favorite by millions who play this game, by people who are fanatics of spiritual, calming music of this world... Thank you Blizzard for creating this awesomely epic music :)
Outland actually sported quite a library of music. A lot of the music was quiet and didn't have a melody you could quite grasp, evoking Outland's desolate atmosphere, so that could be why you simply didn't notice the songs. The music played on all zones and special areas (towns, factions and other triggers). Songs also varied in zones according to time of day for areas with a day and night sky (see Nagrand) -- a sign of the game's attention to detail.
best wow theme is the temple of ahn'qiraj music
wow step its music
When I frist played in that area I muted all the sounds but the music to enjoy it... It reminded me of Golden Sun... dunno why... WoW has many very good songs... and others very boring...
I don't play WoW, but music like this could sway me easily
It's so eerily calm and unsettling at the same time. Warcraft has some phenomenal music.
also MMORPG
Very calming and atmospherical. *faves*
XD. I had a feeling I'd spelt it wrong
Without any doubt my favorite WoW music. Everytime I catch it when I decide to do Oracle's dailies is a blessing.
I remember the first time I heard this song while questing at one of the dragonshrines in Dragonblight. Truly epic moment. :) This + the Wintergrasp bgm are my favorite from the WotLK soundtrack.
also 1.23 - 1.44=Win
haha. I was just questing there yesterday and loving the music and actually thinking "I wonder if SuperDarky will add this to his Best VGM list" Glad to see you didn't disappoint
This is one of my favorite tracks in WotLK.
WoW sucks.
Sarutabaruta. I don't hear the resemblance.
World of Warcraft does have a very good soundtrack, alot of people dont believe that but its the same quality and care as Blizzard has always used for their games.
I didnt expect music like this from this game out of all things. too bad quality music is so rare in games nowadays...
Scholozar Basin was always my favorite place to turn off my own music and listen to the music that played there. Doesn't soundsa lot like something from Golden Sun?
WOTLK had good music, its a shame that when I played I grinded listening to metal lol.
Actually, I recommend checking out the whole soundtrack. IMO it's solid quality throughout.
Ahhhhhh this is so calming..... It feels good to listen to this after a stressful day.
never would have imagined that game having good music.
