Playing WoW again. What music should I listen to?

Also, gentle giant, some return to forever and bits of chick corea solo work.

And the Flower kings

For battlegrounds there is only one song i used to listen, achilles last stand by led zeppelin.
 
Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, and Karl Pilkington's 94 hours + of podcasts made WoW the best game ever for me.
 
Summoning - Epic, Lord of the Rings inspired songs. Check out the album Oath Bound.

Nest - A little more mellow but extremely atmospheric. The albums Trail of the Unwary or Woodsmoke are both awesome if you can find them.

WoW's music isn't that bad really. Most of the cities have really nice music, I love Stormwind and Silvermoon's music.

Eh, I think it's one of the games weakest links personally. I don't care for the soundtrack one bit.

Anyways, if you're about movie soundtracks in the background, you can't go wrong with Pirates.

I don't listen to it while gaming, but I'd think it'd fit it well. I just listen to that hardcore gansta rap personally yo and look for significant ties from those lyrics to the raid I'm on at the moment.

di.fm is the answer
Correct. It's what I have on right now, even. Chillout is a staple of mine (along with Martini in the Morning; I love the 40s and 50s).

In WoW, I grinded Lv65 to 67 on their drum and bass channel. Though I usually don't listen to too much music as a whole while questing (being on an active PvP server), if I do take a break from the game soundtrack, it's usually to di.fm. I mostly quest to Chillout; especially since a lot of the WoW Outland soundtrack shares the very similar cosmic and celestial vibe.

I'd tend to agree. It's decent but Hayes went a little too soft on when he was trying to be ambient. Instead of really being atmosphereic, like Uelmen, he ended up making a handful of tracks that were just sort of forgettable (at least if you don't spend 2 weeks in the same zone). The few great tracks were when he went epic again like he did with Warcraft III.

Best music in WoW by far was with TBC though, and not suprisingly, by Matt Uelmen (Diablo series). Similar to his work in Diablo, he delivered a foreboding and ominous atmosphere like almost no one else in the industry. The piece he did for the Bone Wastes was mezmerizing. First time I went into that desert, I just stared up at the sparkling cosmic sky and got absolutely lost in his musical theme for it.

And the genius is once you get through all 94 hours you've forgotten all the first ones and you can re-listen to the entire thing! BTW The Stephen Merchant Show on R6 is worth a listen, more music but still funny.

I never really bother with music in WoW. Hell I don't usually bother with sound at all (play on a laptop mainly in my lounge).
 
My year with WoW, I started In Flames' Clayman, then went right into Colony. For a full YEAR. It was just perfect music for the game.
