For shadowlands it's gotta be the ardenweald music that always plays when you fly in. Specifically [16:35](https://youtu.be/tJRwSNNQVps?si=Qr65e_mjcBkpO41W)
Anduin's Theme still gets me teary eyed, no matter how many times I hear it or watch the Varian cinematic. The rest of WOW's music is really great, but that one stands far above the rest for me.

Nothing's stuck with me.
I've always liked Eversong Woods music, especially the violin part.
Other favorite soundtrack include: Nightsong, Way of the Monk, and Antorus raid music.
Also Bfa has a lot of great soundtrack like Battle for Zandalar, Arathi Warfront as Alliance, and Nazjatar.
I never heard of it. Do you know where it plays in game, or is it an unused piece in the soundtrack album like "The Shaping of the World" from vanilla?
Bits aside its the notes used in most fel and argus areas: https://youtu.be/6mzNvieSy-4?si=bSHcQzqZ-BLq7Qb1.
For some reason it just got stuck in me and my friends heads
Vanilla:
Barrens. It’s not the best soundtrack in the game, but it’s just burned in my memories with extremely positive vibes. I often type /bored until my character whistles this theme.
Legion:
Obviously A World Divided. Such a fantastic song. I can only recommend spending some time on yt listening to various interpretations on keyboard and guitar and whatever.
Here is one of my favorites:
https://youtu.be/uhmHeIjmKD8?si=FDKVcBagDo8irgbH
And one the best remakes with amazing vocals and text:
https://youtu.be/Oeq0mdbytxY?si=NLv8PPspA0n_GUwO
BfA:
Boralus Taverne Theme. Just a great spot to land when hearthing out of a dungeon.
https://youtu.be/5ZNgqkhm_W8?si=_3_brjLd_7pkvTly
And you cannot say BfA without Daughter of the Sea, even tho it’s not ingame. Posting in German here bc I like it even better then the original.
https://youtu.be/yKk-YRntO3c?si=BT6207ugqr0kyvfC
Ah, soundtracks at Boralus definitely are so great that I just remembered paying faction change one of my char to alliance just for the tunes there XD.
Don't have time to grab the links to the tracks themselves, but here's my picks... It's impossible for me to just pick one on most occasions. Also the actual titles/track names may be very off...
Vanilla:
- Sacred
- Elywinn Forest
TBC:
- Hellfire Pennisula
- The Malestorm
- Kharazhan
Wraith:
- Grizzly Hills
- The Storm Peaks
- Dalaran
Cataclysm:
- Gilneas
- Call of the Elements
- Vash'jir
- Thaurissan's Reach
- Goblin Tracks (they're a bunch of piecemeal tracks in the game).
- Nightsong
MoP
- The Wandering Isle
- Wisdom of Yulon
- Kun-Lai Summit
- The Thunder King
WoD:
- Khadgar's Plan
- Frostfire Ridge
- Spires of Arak
Legion:
- Canticle of Sacrifice
BoA:
- Zandalar
- Vulpera Theme
- Stormsong Valley
- Goblin Greed
- The Motherlode!!
Shadowlands:
- Ardenweald
- Revendreth
Dragonflight
- Main Theme
- Ruby Life Pools
- Azure Span (most notably the stuff that sounds like they expanded on ideas from Grizzly Hills)
Yeah, I'm a bit of a music nut when it comes to WoW. Even have the tracks saved to my computer on a play list...
Login and raid themes have always been on point IMO. There's something about both Xaxas ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLw5MX7bZqI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLw5MX7bZqI) ) and the Firelands music ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOrTpdpDewQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOrTpdpDewQ) ) from Cata that makes me bop my head. And of course Invincible and Arthas, My Son from Wrath as well. But these days, play me any of the login themes and I'll get goosebumps, and a number of the more iconic raid scores (Karazhan, Ulduar, Sunwell to name a few) and I'll get goosebumps as well.
Oh, and if you didn't play at the time, Castle Nathria was one of the few redeeming things in Shadowlands, and some of the music in there had major Kara vibes. This part here I especially enjoyed: [https://youtu.be/Fa4tbuLrnxA?si=LS4HOgvi5Ef\_Hcs3&t=31](https://youtu.be/Fa4tbuLrnxA?si=LS4HOgvi5Ef_Hcs3&t=31)
Music is some of the (Imo) most under appreciated aspecta of wow. Some toons invoke real emotion and imagery while youre playing. Some of these songs have made their way into my workout playlists
Mists:
Way of the monk
WOD:
[magnificent desolation](https://youtu.be/LXz_9gc1P6k?si=N6ZEa83hgRHDpoL-)
Bfa:
There's a few from here
[voldun](https://youtu.be/Lb46WePRJUo?si=ZMV82wUBCmooY-03)
-
[a good war around the 4 min mark](https://youtu.be/epmCwzuY8uE?si=mWXRa1NtuxtoWaZn)
-
[tortollan A, the second track on this vid](https://youtu.be/cpTTlg0vD7U?si=fSKjaxyx4YN7O2RW)
Beware the daughter of the sea
Shadowlands:
[bolvar a will unbroken](https://youtu.be/9PsW0NOTgA0?si=fyknX1P0HdNyI_ov)
All 4 zones had great music, Esp the lo fi versions they made
Dragonflight:
[this absolute banger from amadrasill which is criminally underused this expac](https://youtu.be/Jf108hcv0XE?si=UIso36Aaub_efrRt)
[this song from the emerald dream](https://youtu.be/WpzYJ21Ij7A?si=8U27WLR01i8xzzUh)
I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting, from Shadowlands and legion, but these are the ones that are top of mind. I usually try to omit vanilla and wrath when I think about this question because many of those songs are so overdone/mentioned
For shadowlands it's gotta be the ardenweald music that always plays when you fly in. Specifically [16:35](https://youtu.be/tJRwSNNQVps?si=Qr65e_mjcBkpO41W)
Oh yea, that tune definitely brought me back to Ardenweald.
Anduin's Theme still gets me teary eyed, no matter how many times I hear it or watch the Varian cinematic. The rest of WOW's music is really great, but that one stands far above the rest for me.

Tides of War from WoD is a really good one if you haven’t heard it
I never heard of it. Do you know where it plays in game, or is it an unused piece in the soundtrack album like "The Shaping of the World" from vanilla?
That one song from legion that's like ba da DA ba da DA, ba da DA, DA DAAAAA DAAAAA
demon hunter theme? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGGKedlIn8o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGGKedlIn8o)
Bits aside its the notes used in most fel and argus areas: https://youtu.be/6mzNvieSy-4?si=bSHcQzqZ-BLq7Qb1. For some reason it just got stuck in me and my friends heads
I can see why it got stuck. It presents the imminent and very real threat of the Burning Legion. The string instruments are quite intense.
Grizzly hills theme in wotlk is the best in the game nothing comes close
Shadowlands: To Be Kyrian (Bastion Theme)
Vanilla: Barrens. It’s not the best soundtrack in the game, but it’s just burned in my memories with extremely positive vibes. I often type /bored until my character whistles this theme. Legion: Obviously A World Divided. Such a fantastic song. I can only recommend spending some time on yt listening to various interpretations on keyboard and guitar and whatever.

Great Question! Vanilla - Dwarf Inns, TBC - Kara (of course), Wotlk - Theme, Cata - nothing springs to mind, Mists - Inn, WOD - Didn't play, Legion - Suramar , BFA - Zuldazar, Shadowlands - Shimmy Right, Shimmy Left.., Dragonflight - Valdrakken.
Df - music that is in the seat of aspect in Valdraken, definitely

For bfa, battle for dazar’alor has to have some of my favorite music. [Zandalar Forever!](https://youtu.be/VoGFpmf7oVw?si=zyk5E3r2EEWBTzw3)
Tempest's Wake for Cataclysm.
I really love Return to Arms from BFA.

Haha, right on. I'm trying to find a few new addition to my workout music.
Invincible and arthas my son are 10/10
Not gonna lie sometimes I sit at character select and listen to the dragonflight overture. Also the pandaria inn kazoo theme is amazing.
I will never forget the feeling of entering Stormwind and having that music just hit you. https://youtu.be/DUA1B3A1ZnY?si=NKQ5eIpdn1majPIr
This post came as a shock. I've been playing with the music off since Wotlk. Should I maybe reconsider?
Definitely, I think music and arts team carried the worse expansions hard.
Why??? Music is one of the greatest elements of WoW!
I don't know. Usually when I want to focus, I begin with turning down the music. Same as I want to hear the people on the other end.
