So, I was randomly listening to Warcraft II OST, and began to wonder, which of the many awesome soundtracks from blizzard do most people remember?

I think for me, it would most definately have to be:
What about all the rest of you?

WoW, hands down, bar none, absolutely no competition whatsoever.

Blizzard is a true master at creating atmosphere, and no where did I notice that as much as I did in WoW. From the environments (low graphical quality doesn't mean a game can't look stunning) with their minute details (little veins covering the flowers in Duskwood, Grizzly Bears catching fish in the river in Grizzly Hills) to the soundtrack, it all worked together flawlessly to create a fantastically immersive world to play in.

And WotLK was the absolute crown on their work so far, I thought it couldn't get any better when I walked through Terokkar Forest. And then I left the boat and entered Northrend. By the heavens, I was flabbergasted. It already started with the breath taking Howling Fjord:
You leave the boat and WAM, it sets the mood immediately. So epic.

I wowed when I flew into Scholozar Basin:
Soft and exotic tones, as if they're from another era, perfectly suited for the excluded jungle in the Basin.

But the absolute number one must be Grizzly Hills:
It still sends shivers down my spine each time I hear it, even though I stopped playing over a year ago. Each time I neared Grizzly Hills, I would step off my flying mount, and just walk through the forest while listening to those stunning tones.

As you can see, I'm quite the WoW fan, even though I don't play anymore. Gods I love you Blizzard.

Damn, you beat me to it.

WotLK definately set the high bar for Blizzard music. I even bought the soundtrack off iTunes; it was that good.

My personal favoriate, after the Overture and the opening cutscene music ("Arthas, My Son"), probably goes to "The Culling," which starts out with slow, legato vocal sections with a minor, repetative woodwind background, passes into a heavy section of horns, and then the rapid woodwinds come back into a march with the strings and horn sections punctuating each beat. It is EPIC!

I loved the Stormwind City theme, but most of all I remembered the Teldrassil ambient sounds which immersed me into the game. Set me in the perfect mood for where I started.
