This covers everything through MoP and is more than just Classic WoW, but I listen to it at work sometimes:

IMA CHARGIN MY FIREBALL!!!!!
I love the old music, but I also love the new stuff as well. It's one of the few aspects of the game (raiding as well, mostly) that I think are constantly well done in every iteration of the game.
The old music and sound is a bit different, far more ambient. To each their own, but I think sound has been great for 14 years.
The Molten Core music suite is still the best dungeon/raid music in the game to date imo
Just the right dose of ambient and epic music without being grandiose and forced to a fault like the more recent music we have in the game.Not saying current music in bad,it's really not,but I prefer this

Saving this thread with the light of Elune.
The old music is still in the current game, it's just been mixed in with the Cata music. It hasn't been removed.
But yes the Vanilla music was always more cooler because it was more ambient based, now days the music (while still good) is all about massive bands playing. I do prefer the more simplisitc music from Vanilla - WotLK. Since Cata they really changed it which is a shame but I do admit I loved the MoP music though

I love Warcraft, I dislike WoW
Unsubbed since January 2021, now a Warcraft fan from a distance
Feels like new music from cataclysm onwards isnt that much memorable,but vanilla bc and wotlk ones are.
someone with the right background correct me if I am wrong.
classic music (and bc, I think) was essentially a series of motif's for a particular zone type (desert, plains, etc. etc.) maybe some zones or the whole set of classic music constituted themes? but you did not have complete musical compositions in classic in general. Mountain (day, night) was more variations on a given motif or theme, for example. ditto evil forest day and night, ditto the other various sets of music.
the exception might be some city music (SW, IF?)
cata-fwd saw them start to introduce complete musical shorts for zones.
Authors I have enjoyed enough to mention here: JRR Tolkein, Poul Anderson,Jack Vance, Gene Wolfe, Glen Cook, Brian Stableford, MAR Barker, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, WM Hodgson, Fredrick Brown, Robert SheckleyJohn Steakley, Joe Abercrombie, Robert Silverberg, the norse sagas, CJ Cherryh, PG Wodehouse, Clark Ashton Smith, Alastair Reynolds, Cordwainer Smith, LE Modesitt, L. Sprague de Camp & Fletcher Pratt, Stephen R Donaldon, and Jack L Chalker.
dude night elf music is where its at
teldrassil
ashenvale
etc..
Old music I like from classic WoW (off the top of my heard): Theramore, Ashenvale, Durotar, Elwynn, Ironforge.
for whatever reason, the theramore track is one of the ironforge tracks that sounds nothing like the others.
also zones or zone types had unique ambience background sounds, which in some cases provided dramatic contrast with the music as opposed to other zones it was used in - but always provided a slightly different tone/feeling given how we react to various ambient noises outdoors.
the most dramatic I can remember was blasted lands - who recognized it as the barrens music, with all that thunder?
