Yep. Although I'm pretty much a fan of all the music from Diablo II, but I'm a D2 fanboi so that's to be expected, I guess.

The music in Diablo was amazing to me when I was 10 years old. And it still is.

Blizzard is absolutely a soundtrack development company first, a game developer second. Tristram's theme is responsible for my love of The Call of Ktulu which is responsible (in large part) for my love of metal.

EDIT: And the cave song is awesome too, especially with those also-Ktulu-like distortion bits.

Is Blizzard still a great with sound? I don't play WoW, and haven't played Starcraft II. Hell, I haven't even heard any sound from Diablo 3 yet. I'm just curious if they "still got it".

Haven't heard much from the new expansion but the music in WoW has always been great.

 

[Vilden]

I've always liked the music of Warcraft II more than Starcraft but both are awsome and Blizzard indeed makes great music.

I wish I played more video games. There is so much music I'm missing out on that I would probably get really into.

Yes the Warcraft II (especially the Orc Music) and Diablo I soundtracks are far superior to any other Blizzard soundtrack. Although on the topic of good videogame music, I'd have to give a mention to this gem:

Best videogame music goes to Suikoden I&II though.

I can't really recall any music snippets from Diablo III yet, but that's because I only really watched each gameplay/character class video once, to maximize my excitement when it's actually released.

There are some soundtrack bits floating around on YouTube, all of which are orchestral stuff. High-quality, of course, but it just doesn't excite me. That they have a song titled "New Tristram" with no acoustic guitar is just depressing.

I feel terrible for remembering not only that your avatar is the artwork for Phyrexian Negator, but that it's a 5/3 with trample, costing 2B, with the drawback that for every point of damage dealt to it you must sacrifice a permanent. It's a rare from Urza's Legacy (Was it Urza's Legacy? The one with the flask symbol).

I have not played Magic in years, aside from the duels of the planeswalkers thing.

Forever a dork.

@Yoda: it's all about the sick breakbeat song that plays in the Engineering Deck engine room / coolant tubes area.

While we're posting shit, here's the super-awesome Top Gear Rally song I posted on my facebook a few days ago which has been stuck in my head ever since. So fucking good...



Note - the song's actually 4 minutes long, it's just the race that lasts 8 minutes.

 

[Episteme]

The music from Deus Ex is pretty awesome, my drummer and I are thinking of doing a project with it.

Some of the music on Symphony Of The Night reminds me of Emperor.

So somebody performed a Judas Priest song on American Idol. Ha.

Not sure why the topic is video game soundtracks, but alright;
