That song on the radio that reminds you of WOW

Is there a song that reminds you of WOW?

Used to have friends now I’ve got enemies, except its the other way around. The Hordeliance can never be at war very long. Now were set to fight n’zoth together and go into the shadowlands as one.

Not of WoW specifically, but MMOs of early 2000s in general.

Evanescence’s Bring me to life
Green Day’s Blvd of broken dreams
Drowning pool’s Bodies
Disturbed’s Sickness
Linkin Park Hybrid theory

I’m not too fond of any of those tracks, but they were in so many wow and ffxi videos back when people made things instead of just ranting in to the mic while they level an alt.

I miss how in some of the older expac we fought the “big bad” but we also fought each other and at most we had some third party that we helped as so we were only teamed up via association with whatever the neutral faction was.

As far as OP, not really a song on the radio but I always get reminded of wow when I hear Owl CIty. Not because Owl City is wow like at all but because I was listen to a new album a lot when I was farming Netherwing and Skyguard rep. Now his music and outlands are forever connected in my mind.

I have songs that i associate with wow because of what i listened to at certain times, but i think for a song to remind me of wow for its own merits itd have to be some kind of obvious parody, because otherwise it would likely be generic enough to fit a million different things

Most of Rob Zombie songs instantly reminds me of wow commonly Demonoid Phenomenon, I assume both him and Ozzy main Undead Warlocks.

It’s also coincidental the Lead Singer of the Italian Metal Band Lacuna Coil sounds exactly like Sylvanas.

To think about it further, there were numerous heavy metal bands that referenced WoW.

On my druid, Nelly Furtado’s I’m like a Bird.
On my DK Disturbed’s Down with the Sickness
On my mage, anything from Frozen, because come on frost is so do you want to build a snowman.
Warrior is Offspring’s Pretty Fly for a White Guy.
Rogue is Sting’s Every Breath You Take.
Blood elves are just toxic, like the Britney song their dance came from.

That’s just a few, but generally, I enjoy I mix from the nineties when I am out there leveling.

On the radio? No.

But…

Back during Legion, I played Starset’s “Vessels” album a lot as I did World Quests.
Listening to any song on the album brings me back to those days. Any other songs are already WoW-related.

Most tracks on Janet Jackson’s album “Design of a Decade: 1986-1996” remind me of WoW up through TBC at least.

As for character songs, I found some:

For this toon, Rebecca Platten “Fight Song”
For my NE priest, Taylor Swift “Blank Space” (it’s a stretch, I’ll admit but I haven’t found better yet)
For my NE mage, P!nk “Just Like Fire”
For my Human Warlock, Nelly Furtado “Say It Right”
For my NE Rogue, Pat Benatar “Shadows of the Night”
For my Human DK, SPYAIR “Liar” (This is a JPOP song, beat fits well with someone who in my background story for her struggles with undeath when risen by Arthas against her will. Song kicks in right after she deals the killing blow in ICC.)
For my NE DH and DK (both are NEs), Alesso “Heroes (we could be)” (Because they are hero classes, they share this song)
For my BE Mage, Lady Gaga “Paparazzi”
For my Worgen Hunter, Duran Duran “Hungry Like the Wolf”

And that’s just a taste of it. Sometimes a song will just click as I play.
My planned Vulpera Rogue, Sting “Desert Rose”

Hard to think of specific examples, honestly! Songs that remind me of WoW tend to do so because I listen to them a lot while playing. And in that regard, there’s a lot.

I used to listen to Thousand Foot Krutch alllll the time when I did any PvP, though, so that’s a pretty memorable one. Not so much nowadays, but TFK, Set It Off, Falling In Reverse, Hollywood Undead… pretty sure teen-me lived off of those bands. :wolf:

I remember listening to Lil’ Wayne’s ‘Let it Rock’ while doing AV, so that definitely counts.
