Damn, if it was possible to change it ingame to your favorite one, would be so cool... Probably would put it 1st on the vanilla or the burning legion theme, they were so awesome...
MoP is very underrated. i miss the times. very good times. i played it extensively and never hated MoP ever. people change opinions but my opinion was always the same. timeless isle grinds, thunder king expansion, the biggest faction war ever was in MoP. but we miss those times as we age.
It's a very universal thing you're experiencing that goes beyond just games, time has a way of creating a fondness for a lot of things you'd never expect.
WotLK will never be defeated imo. Even without my nostalgia for the xpac, the theme is THE quintessential Warcraft overture in my heart and mind. It starts with the general WoW motif, then it flows through the main themes of several of the playable races and factions, then it ends it all with the best version of A Call To Arms ever recorded. No piece of music captures Warcraft more perfectly than this for me
Cataclysm beats 100%. The ominous theme at the beggining giving warnings of the dangerous lurking the entire continent the Dun Morough music, the classical horror theme of Gilneas, the Nelf's darkshore music capturing their race's burden in Mount Hyjal, the Kezan theme representing the goblins arising prosperity with joining the Horde, and the classic WoW tribute part. Hell it even has the invincible theme on it, capturing the Scourge's defeat and the liberation of Northrend. Just right after Invincible, you hear the ominous cata music, representing the transition from WotLK threats to Cata threats.
i absolutely cannot believe its been almost 20 years since i bought a box and installed vanilla Using discs on my computer. made my first Dwarf hunter and have been in warcraft ever since
Thanks for posting this ages ago! 55:13 through the end of the Legion music is so amazing, still one of my favs. The Cata music has really good parts all throughout, and also an epic finale.
Say what you want but World of Warcraft is a monument of the video game history. Every extention is awesome ! I am actually 31 and i intend to keep on playing until i die.
Omg this brings back so many memories for me 😭 my dad got me into WoW back in TBC I’ve been playing off and on ever since then but I love the game so much and Sylvanas Windrunner will always be my queen ⛓️🖤🔮 the BfA log-in screen brings back so many memories that’s where I came back after 3 years away and I joined my first ever guild, and really started playing hardcore for the first time I’m still currently playing and DF has been awesome. Bravo and I absolutely love love the video, great work and Dark Lady Watch Over You always 🔮💜🦇
the same with my parents back in wotlk i didnt officially play until late wod and became a casual player when legion came out my god and listening to wod though shadowlands just the nostalgia
I started playing WoW when there was only TBC. That screen will stay with me forever, but two other expansions I've played most were WotLK and Cataclysm. Oh boy, teenage times when I could skip school to play it 😢
26:18, 1:33:09, there is always that part when this song hits and on that moment I always feel something on my chest, a mixed feeling of nostalgia and raw emotion than even make my eyes teary, so powerful...
I started back at the tail end of Vanilla, Nothing beats BFA/WoD login screen for me, BFA is just straight up 🔥and WoD is so inspiring, a true call to war!
too bad the expansions themselves werent. BfA to me was one of the worst from a story to gameplay persepective. it just felt like each major patch was in a vastly different area and story than the previous with little to connect them. coming out of Legion I was hyped af for it and when it dropped every little thing felt out of place through the whole thing.
BC screen is just perfect: - Challenging music starts playing - You see a portal with mysterious guards and a dragon on the top - Inside the green smoke you can see a glimpse of the outland What can be more inviting to enter WoW? DF screen... while beautiful, doesn't look like WoW. If not for WoW's logo i'd think it's some mobile game.
all of these but more so the first two Bring back SOOO many memories of raiding with my RL friends and hanging out... and not having to worry about school for the week end
Listening to all of these themes has me excited for War Within because WoW's music team never misses. I also wonder what the main screen will be, maybe the sword? Yes, I know... What Sword? 🤣
Dragonflight unironically hits hard compared to the rest. Only other contender would be warlords of dreanor for me. But if we talking pure nostalgia, nothing beats wotlk
I really like wotlk-cata-mop-wod and legion, the newer ones just aren't that epic, they aren't bad but the beginning all feel like vanilla, even WoD theme had it's own identity, DF is the only exception
Even though it was one of the unpopular expansions, I feel like Cata's music and art themes encapsulated the feeling of Azeroth more than anything else
Cataclysm's log in theme is definitely one of the better ones. It was the beginning of the downward trend into the Valley of the Shadow(lands) of Death, but it's hard to deny the soundtrack is strong
They're all great, but honestly Dragonflight might be my favorite. The way it reels in and slows into the climactic burst like youre for the first time, breaking through the clouds into a new world. Really really epic.
in my opinion the first 1 is the best. Nostalie pure. It may not have the best grapfic or music but its the feeling. The time were my journey began after all ❤
I always forget how panic-inducing the first 10 seconds or so of Cata’s log screen was lol (to be fair, I was a kid, so I was in awe/scared of Deathwing lol)
BfA is down there among the worst expansions, yet the music and art teams carry no matter how shit the xpac. Actual chills when the Zandalar theme kicked in at 1:00:25
Omg y'all I literally just noticed that the Dragonflight music fully ends with the same composition as the end of Cataclysm's music 🤯 idm fr tho that composition goes hardddd
1:27:19 is part heavily inspired by Velické zvony intro by Czech band Čechomor. Blizzard thought we wouldn't notice, but we did. I approve of this tho.
Started in WotLK, so the login screen with Sindragosa holds a lot of nostalgia for me. I am still playing to this day.. I'm 23, soon 24 and this game was my childhood. For Azeroth!
My favorite one is Bfa, thays when I started playing with my brother who played before lich king came out, and I love the music (I'm only 19 now or I would of played when I was younger. He's 38)
I'm 21 and I started an expansion before you in Legion, and I feel the that exact type of way about Legion's login music. I'll always remember making my character while hearing that music for the first time lol
1:18:04 Damn, I love this part so much, when SL came out it was the BOMB with Castle Nathria, I still think it was a really good expansion, even though it didn't have much content
I'd rank Legion login screen and music lower than that of BfA and Shadowlands. It's a bit boring. Though I consider it top 1 in terms of zone music. It's just that they made the logij music so poorly
who else tried to type your user name and password faster than sindragosa appeared on screen and blasted your eardrums
Ah, the man of the culture
Especially when you played wotlk really late, ah the memories
I always found funny how big the dark portal is in outland and how small it is in azeroth
Fr bro the one in Outland is like 10X bigger than the small ass one in Blasted Lands lol, it also looks completely different 💀
It's not like Bliz is shy about a retcon or 10. They could have done some remodeling 😀
It's small because Khadgar, being the shit wizard he is, tried to destroy it....twice...

Cataclysm for me.
WotLK all the way.
WotLK, hits the hardest for me
Now that's a great suggestion..chose you own log on screen.
I'd change it right away, the TWW one is prob the worst
I used to hate MOP when it came out and now I have the craziest nostalgia for it.
The most peaceful expansion
MoP is very underrated. i miss the times. very good times. i played it extensively and never hated MoP ever. people change opinions but my opinion was always the same. timeless isle grinds, thunder king expansion, the biggest faction war ever was in MoP. but we miss those times as we age.

I started back at the tail end of Vanilla, Nothing beats BFA/WoD login screen for me, BFA is just straight up 🔥and WoD is so inspiring, a true call to war!
too bad the expansions themselves werent. BfA to me was one of the worst from a story to gameplay persepective. it just felt like each major patch was in a vastly different area and story than the previous with little to connect them. coming out of Legion I was hyped af for it and when it dropped every little thing felt out of place through the whole thing.
i am one of the rare people that enjoyed bfa. The music is so amazing too!
I'm surprised by how close to the original they all sound with slight variations to the expansion's theme.
Crazy having been here through all of these, with the sole exception of Dragonflight.
in all honesty, legion and bfa will always be my favorite
Did you play Vanilla, BC, WotLK, or Cata when they were fresh?
Yes, I've played all expansions as they came and I can tell you that Legion was every bit as good as Wrath. Even better in some areas.
Shadowlands intro is a banger.
13:25 ... never had enough word for this gem
To me, Cataclysm was the first login screen music, that I instantly liked, and the fact that DW just chilling on Stormwind made it way cooler lol.
wotlk and cata had the best ones by far
Trueeee
Best? It’s entirely subjective. I really like dragonflight’s
best ones in my opinion :p @@TheBigEmstos
The amount of times I would fall asleep at my PC and wake up to these loading screens. Oh those were the days.
BC screen is just perfect:
- Challenging music starts playing
- You see a portal with mysterious guards and a dragon on the top
- Inside the green smoke you can see a glimpse of the outland
What can be more inviting to enter WoW?
DF screen... while beautiful, doesn't look like WoW. If not for WoW's logo i'd think it's some mobile game.
Except that inside the portal there is Azeroth, we see the portal from a vision already inside Outland.
Catas ending actually makes me start seeing the light
Yes, a magnificent ode to classic
I remember... staying away from the dark portal thinking the 2 giant statues would come to life
BFA theme clears everything on it's path. Shadowlands though, it has by far the best login screen.
Wrath hits me the hardest, gets me emotional.
Lich king y Cataclysmo, las dos expansiones que me hicieron viciar y amar este juego en sus días, que nostalgia
A cool thing in WoD login screen is to see the evolution of the dark portal from BC
BFA has my favorite theme, especially the part at 1:00:25
Yeah bfa clears
As much as Shadowlands was hated it was the first expac I got into and that login screen always looks so epic.
13:50 - That transition at 14 minutes gives me goosebumps every time! 🤩
6:63 ah yes, the one that started my love for this game. i remember creating my priest like it was yesterday
26:40 is a masterpiece
all of these but more so the first two Bring back SOOO many memories of raiding with my RL friends and hanging out... and not having to worry about school for the week end
Listening to all of these themes has me excited for War Within because WoW's music team never misses. I also wonder what the main screen will be, maybe the sword? Yes, I know... What Sword? 🤣
Wrath is still GoAT. The absolute peak followed by Legion.
Dragonflight unironically hits hard compared to the rest. Only other contender would be warlords of dreanor for me. But if we talking pure nostalgia, nothing beats wotlk

Cataclysm's log in theme is definitely one of the better ones. It was the beginning of the downward trend into the Valley of the Shadow(lands) of Death, but it's hard to deny the soundtrack is strong
Ah yes, the medley of either "I'm fucking hyped" or "FUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKK MY INTERNET"
They're all great, but honestly Dragonflight might be my favorite. The way it reels in and slows into the climactic burst like youre for the first time, breaking through the clouds into a new world. Really really epic.
Wish there was an option to change the theme music that would play in the character select screen. DF is one of my favorites too.
for me the best parts are in WOTLK, MOP, BFA
The original has such an ancient look to it, I love it
WoW is already old enough to drink where I live lmao, kinda crazy it's still one of the biggest mmorpgs after so long🤯
@@KronikMTLAnd it's still the most popular
обожаю Пандарию
The Dragonflight one is actually REALLY good. It's tough to be beat 49:06 though!
in my opinion the first 1 is the best. Nostalie pure. It may not have the best grapfic or music but its the feeling. The time were my journey began after all ❤
TBC theme will always be with me. First time in Silvermoon... So peaceful yet tragic.
I always forget how panic-inducing the first 10 seconds or so of Cata’s log screen was lol

BfA is down there among the worst expansions, yet the music and art teams carry no matter how shit the xpac. Actual chills when the Zandalar theme kicked in at 1:00:25
WotLK, WoD and BFA are such bangers!
between 44:15 - 47:30 is a treat to my ears. so glad i experienced this back then. blackrock babe!
Omg y'all I literally just noticed that the Dragonflight music fully ends with the same composition as the end of Cataclysm's music 🤯 idm fr tho that composition goes hardddd
I'd wait a whole minute in BfA Login just to get to 59:10, listen, then log in. Just that good.
Vanilla is my fav
The WOLTK choir blasted me back to when I was 15 harder than anything ever could holy shit
MoP is nostalgia for me loll
Same, I wish I could go back to my noob days lol
That mist and warlords music hit the best
I love them all, but Cata and MoP just hit good...special mention to WoD, right at the beginning when the music changed as the portal lit 😗👌
the legion/wotlk one is the best one
Lich King, Legion and Shadowlands ❤❤❤
Was hit by a nostalgia bomb of Warlords of draenor. Sniff.. ;w;
I think maybe BFA is my favorite. And vanilla second place because that one is music straight on, but I really loved the vibe and atmosphere of BFA
22:21 literraly the best music in the entire game INVINCIBLE
2nd half of Cata has the best bangers
1:27:19 is part heavily inspired by Velické zvony intro by Czech band Čechomor. Blizzard thought we wouldn't notice, but we did. I approve of this tho.
Worst part is its muted with overlayed music. I want to hear Sindragosa's roar in the wrath login
Started in WotLK, so the login screen with Sindragosa holds a lot of nostalgia for me. I am still playing to this day.. I'm 23, soon 24 and this game was my childhood. For Azeroth!
Not seeing too many mention this one, but Pandaria is underrated. Honestly they're all stellar, regardless of your opinion of the expansion itself
26:05 Cata is and will always be the best theme
Agreed lol
@@KronikMTL 👍
100% agreed

Until the Legion patch, all Login Screens are full of excitement, stress and grandeur, but now it doesn't give me that old feeling anymore
You're tripping the Legion login is one of the best they've done in my opinion (I might just be lowkey nostalgic tho I joined in legion)
I'd rank Legion login screen and music lower than that of BfA and Shadowlands. It's a bit boring. Though I consider it top 1 in terms of zone music. It's just that they made the logij music so poorly
