For casual PvP I will definitely listen to all those bands listed here already. For PvE though, nothing beats that classic WoW music.

Anyone going to be listening on winamp by any chance? :smile:

Well now that I've seen this, definitely.
I'll probably opt mostly for podcasts. Mostly docuseries or news podcasts, but I'll probably listen to some old vanilla-era podcasts for some immersion into how people were thinking about the game at the time.
Probably some Hammerfall and Blind Guardian. :)
And of course, OST music.

By the https://classic.wowhead.com/item=5461/branch-of-cenarius , I say ! Thought I was the only https://classic.wowhead.com/object=208388/ancient-fossil around here but this https://classic.wowhead.com/object=251969/dying-tree rises my https://classic.wowhead.com/npc=2623/spirit-of-old !!
I tend to search for old school PvP videos and let them play in the background. :ugeek:
My fondest memories of Vanilla outside of the raids was the exploration. I love nothing more than just peeking around every corner.
I watched a bunch of WoW machinima early on, and a lot of the videos I watched were based around exploration. My favourite is Exploration: The Movie, which had an amazing soundtrack!
Highlights here for me:
Airwave - When Things Go Wrong
Shpongle - Once Upon The Sea Of Blissful Awareness (Esionjim Remix)
Paul Oakenfold - Zoo York
I'm working on a playlist for tracks that capture this feeling, the relaxation that accompanies exploration of an untamed world, so I'm looking at artists like Enteogenic, Ott, Asura and Carbon Based Lifeforms
I'll give the vanilla-era playlist that guy compiled a listen at the very start and then switch over to in-game music :razz:
Thanks for sharing that list, these songs bring back so many memories :cool:
Really anything, from 8-bit chiptune to instrumental ambient to heavy metal :D
Even if, this time, I would like also to taste the game soundtrack better than usual :D
NPR.
I found this mix on YouTube and it's absolutely the only thing I've listened to for days. Thought I'd share with all you fellow nerds. Does the artwork remind anyone else of the fall of Teldrassil? I will never get over that.
Ozzy
Metallica
Pantera
Zepplin
and of course music from circa early 2000s
Winamp!
Good times :D
I have been making a playlist already so im good to go on release. Lots of Heavy/power/black metal mostly. Too many artists to mention but a lot of stuff from Iron Maiden, Burzum, Emperor and Manowar
I shall be playing the game's audio and music. Full immersion for me!
I wasn't fortunate enough to have been able to play the real vanilla and I have heard stories of something called "MMO Radio" that played electronic music and stuff like Darude Sandstorm. Does anyone know any other songs that it played? I'm trying to have you tube write me up a playlist that should sound akin to what you guys heard back in the olden days.
I will be playing a combination of music from old PVP/PVE videos, current music I like, and epic music.
Some "classic" songs from pvp videos include.
I stand alone by godsmack
before i forget by slipknot
beast and the harlot by avenged sevenfold
monster by skillet
bunch of others.

Holy shit MMO Radio. I admit I mostly listened to that while playing City of Heroes rather than WoW. They had a lot of different DJs each with their own style, but general the music was very varied and by request. I specifically remember hearing things like Sonic Syndicate, In Flames, Evanescence, Sonata Arctica and Nightwish and stuff like that. Metal and Electronic stuff mostly. I remember a DJ Electrician(?) who was my favourite DJ.
Then there was WoR Radio which was the spiritual successor, which was very much the same setup.

There is a snapshot of the website (without images or anything unfortunately) from July 2005. You can see on the right DJ Electrician was on air, and there is the recently played couple of tracks. You can click through the snapshots up the top to get more tracks they played on different days the wayback machine did a capture of the page. Enjoy!
