I have heard stories of something called "MMO Radio"

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!
He is correct and it was amazing.
Then after that came one of the first WoW "Pod Casts" Wizzin in the moonwell that touched on WoW news and highlighted the best WoW parody songs. I am Sure real G's remember it
I just wish there was something like this now that we are getting Azeroth back. It'd be fitting.

I tried to track down a contact for MMO Radio to see if there was any hope of a reprisal, but I couldn't track down any active links, accounts, or email addresses :(
I usually go through a routine of classical music in the morning and transition into rock as the day progresses. Also, anyone building a music playlist for its official release?
The ingame music. Anything else is heresy.
I'm in the ingame sounds + music boat myself. One of my favorite parts of the game is the superb atmosphere, which is mostly music.
Funny enough i've been enjoying a lot of these Oldschool playlists on youtube while PvPing and raiding on Northdale. I've been finding myself returning to the early 2000's music agai and boy does it tickle my ear. Really brings me back.

I'm going for full nostalgia!
Bad Religion
Linkin Park
Bouncing Souls
Any other music from that era I should add on to the playlist?
Just for sake of conversation, what kind of music were you guys listening to when you first got started in WoW, and when was it? or maybe just something you had specific memories of listening to while playing? doesn't matter if it's cringey!
i'll say that, for whatever reason, my strongest memory of playing WoW back in the early days...was questing/grinding through hillsbrad, listening to a B-52's cd on loop. specifically, songs like...
Rock Lobster
Planet Claire
Quiche Lorraine
Summer of Love
Love Shack
Hallucinating Pluto
and a bunch of others. would've been around early 2007, since BC was brand new when i started playing.
I was really into a swedish metal band called Soilwork, and other genres of metal from the 90s and 00s. In Flames, Children of Bodom, Hammerfall and Blind Guardian to name a few.
Hey Threkuul, when I first joined the forums a few months back I posted a similar thread, check it out here: https://barrens.chat/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1096&hilit=music
I listened to a lot of metal at the time, and a strange mix of oldies. I will always revert back to things like Dire Straits, Neil Young, Dream Theater, To/Die/For and a bunch of other metal. I enjoy 60s-70s rock, and 80s alt rock/pop too, so will hit up things like Roxy Music, Talk Talk, Tears for Fears etc.
Having said all that, I do love the vanilla WoW soundtrack, and especially early days I will be cranking the in game music/effects, with the music to come later for grinding/PvP etc.
Helthos check out my thread linked above, a few similarities there :wink: Good choice on the music dude!
im kinda lazy and a lot of the time ill just be listening to the game music lol. but, i guess when i started wow i was into a lot of gothic shit like nightwish, lacuna coil, manson, the birthday massacre, within temptation. music taste changed a bit and i got obsessed with riot grrl, so id play bikini kill, L7, brtmobile, hole, babes in toyland. then just went around having phases of a bunch of diff kinds of metal. now ill probably be playing deftones, tbm, motionless in white, rob zombie. and whatever other random shit on industrial playlists from spotify.
Blink 182. Offspring. Sum 41.
Haha, that's mega funny. I played a Hunter shortly before TBC and heard Billy Talent the album with Red Flag on it.
And every time I listen to the music from that time I have to think about some things that happen when leveling.When I hear Red Flag I have a flashback where I killed in Stranglethorn 3 Allis :D
I'm not exactly sure anymore, but it must all have been music like Billy Talent, that was my rock phase back then.

Well ain't we a pair! Metal forever, bro.

Yes, that is basically what I heard to WoW too, Gothic. Was big on going out that time too, so I got my part of RnB and House in the nightclubs.
But if I ever tune in Evanescence, Lacuna Coil or Nightwish I am instantly taken back to WoW Vanilla memory lane.
Today it would be metal. :twisted:
Sum 41.
Yeeees, spend a lot of time listening to Sum 41!
Linkin Park, Bullet for my valentine, dead by april, haste the day etc etc..
Ohh man my taste in music has.... chaned a lot lol.
I used to listen Blind Guardian, Anathema, Cradle of Filth etc...
Nowadays I don't really listen to any specific band (no metal anymore that's for sure), but more like relaxing stuff with some electronic moody atmospheric shit, jazz, R&B, classic and oldies.
I've never really listened to music by choice except for classical music, however back in the day I made a PvP video (really shitty feral just killing while leveling) with Trapt - Headstrong.
I absolutely hate the normal music people have in PvP videos, they always choose some hardcore screaming rock which makes me mute 24/7. I understand that you can't play classical music with PvP but rather some kind of pop/trap music then rock.
