Which MMO has the best soundtrack?

'Borrowed' from Massively, join in on the weekday discussions and let your opinions be heard!

At the start of this month I wrote up a Jukebox Heroes in which I listed my six favorite MMO soundtracks. This proved to be a controversial piece, even for me (trust me, I agonized over the entries and could have easily substituted any of a half-dozen other titles and been as happy). People feel strongly about what they consider is “the best,” even though this particular topic is as subjective as they come.

So let’s hash this out today, why not. Which MMO has the best soundtrack and why? Bonus points to your argument if you include a link to your favorite track in that score!

I feel that AoC and SWTOR both have great soundtracks with AoC edging it for me for that epic kind of sound. That being said, for sheer body of work, that has remained quality, it has to be WoW. Even from their early days they have had a superb record, and the latter expansions have been incredible, nothing really comes close.

I don't know if anyone else does this, but I actually turn off most MMO in game music and play my own. I feel like that gets me pumped and into it more than what the developers have playing. So, I don't honestly have a favorite, because I hardly listen to them in the first place. But I'm weird like that.

Could be nostalgia talking, but MxO and AoC were really good. SWTOR was eh ok.

I usually turn it off and listen to my own music or I just listen to it was background noise, as it usually not so good. The only music I've enjoyed in a game is wow.
