What expansion had the best music?

I know a lot of people will probably go towards Wrath, but I honestly think BFA has a solid contention point.

The music from BFA is straight fire.

Links appreciated of course.

I never really notice music in wow. I don’t turn it off, but it just seems very… forgettable. Except that boralus harbor music, that was loud and obnoxious enough to notice.

Probably the 90s. That was the expansion i started playing music in. It has my greatest memories.

Wrath of the Lich King had some of the most memorable tracks for me. Mists had some good ones (who doesn’t like the inn theme?), but in terms of tracks I recognize every time? Easily Wrath.

Honestly though? BfA had some bangers!

The correct answer is WoD.

Wrath and Mists for me. There were lots of times in both of those that I’d take indirect flight paths so I could go through parts of some zones just to trigger the music tracks.

Damn. Music is not something I pay attention to. Only if it’s bad. Like the moaning in Stormwind.

Wrath

gods I loved Ulduar

Then there’s storm peaks. I’d fly around mining and herbing just to listen to it.

Especially at ~1:56 . . . chills

The creepy vibes of Icecrown

And since the OP didn’t say which WoW expansion had the best music:

Destiny 2’s Witch Queen, Hidden Tracks

Beyond Light’s Athanasia:

Forsaken’s Gunslinger:

Taken King’s Remembrance:

I’m with you on BfA. However … there are two songs that I just can’t ignore from previous expansions. WoW truly does have amazing music.

Battle for Gnomeregan

and

Totems of Grizzlemaw

Wrath

Best tracks “Invincible”, “Lament of the Highborne”

Vanilla

Zone music for Ashenvale and Teldrassil

I still get tingles thinking about the very first time I stepped into Ashenvale and heard that music. Warcraft was a scary dangerous place for adventurers back then, not so much anymore. I miss that.

right?! Gnolls, humans and murlocs were horrifying if you pulled a couple…or they start running/yelling and alerting others. You knew you had to book it or you would definitely die to 3 or 4 mobs.

Now…those same areas, I will pull 10 and not be in danger =/

WOTLK had the best “ambient” music. BFA had the best “cinematic” music.

WoD had a good mix of impending-doom type music along with happy up-beat shanty style music.
