What's your favorite Classic EQ song?

[Telin]

My top three:

1) Kelethin theme Me playing here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX8oKrRVNbk&feature=youtu.be
2) Bard guild song
3) Music that used to play on ships/docks.

[Diggles]

Qeynos Bard Guild theme
Char Select
Halflings

[Telin]

I love the char select theme too. They really should've made a new one when they introduced the eqtheme.mp3.

[utenan]

There is a song that plays in East Freeport, past the gate by a tent that I think is amazing. West Freeport gate theme and Nro theme are the most memorable for me besides the main eq theme of course.

1. Has Anybody Seen My Corpse?
2. If I Had a Billion Platinum

[Telin]

The quality of this isn't so great but I really wanted to share this clip of me with you guys: It's of me playing the Kelethin theme on my keyboard!

Please take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX8oKrRVNbk&feature=youtu.be

[BrendockMerryfoot]

Rivervale. Hands down.

Halflings #1.

[HawkMasterson1999]

I turned my music off day 1 as well. I couldn't stand the melee combat music. Now I feel like maybe I missed out on something.

[Senadin]

Not classic but Cobalt Scar was pretty good! It always gave me the impressions that it was lifted from an Old Donkey Kong game or something from that era!

Rivervale isnt bad either.

[Dagner]

1. Has Anybody Seen My Corpse?
2. If I Had a Billion Platinum

haha these were great, i remember listening to them.. some dude from the tunare server iirc

alos my favorites:

otter music in cobalt scar and rivervale music

[bled12345]

My top three:

1) Kelethin theme Me playing here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX8oKrRVNbk&feature=youtu.be
2) Bard guild song
3) Music that used to play on ships/docks.

Where'd you find the sheet music?

I can trade you the sheet music for this bioshock song :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofjMh0IXIGY

I got about a minute into the song playing it as good as this guy but got lazy and gave up haha story of my life.

[Telin]

I don't have any sheet music, I had to take the midi file (the longer version) and get the notes that way. I used Synthesia. It's a slower process lol.

[Doeboy]

Kelethin
Merchant Song
Crushbone Gates
Neriak
Bard Guild

[Muerte]

The music at the NK wizard spires:)

[aresprophet]

Neriak necro guild

[godbox]

oasis. mostly because on live I had such a shit computer that I crashed everytime i zoned so oasis was about as far away as I could get and I pretty much never broke 30 on about 20 different chars (i rerolled my sk @ 30 4 times because people kept telling me that iksar>troll>iksar)

Best song ever. I wish it played here. =(

[eqravenprince]

Because of this thread, I decided to turn my EQ music on for the first time. The music isn't actually half bad. I'm looking forward to hearing other zones now. I got to hear Northern Ro and Freeport ones.

[Telin]

The music was incredibly well done. A lot of the songs get stuck in your head, and every song is tied to an overall "adventurous" theme. I just wish every inn played the inn song, and every dock/ship played the sea song.

[Heavydrop]

#1 Kelethin

Worst is Felwithe. Its really annoying.
I love the music of Rivervale too. It makes me laugh everytime

[philbertpk]

1- Log in Song
2- Vendor song
3- Karanas

[toddfx]

What song would you guys expect to hear playing during a 3D flythrough of a Norrath map, similar to the Game of Thrones intro?

I'm working on creating just that (the 3D portion), but have been having a hard time finding a quality clip of a great EQ song to pair with it. The epicness of the East Freeport song mentioned above (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRMYvM5TDNs) would be pretty perfect since it is recognizably the EQ theme yet slightly unique, but for this project I'd like it to be a bit better than a midi. This revamped Everquest main theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCzFUxk4dF4) is a perfect example.

Would anybody be interested in recomposing something?

Telin, I liked the sound of your keyboarding, do you have any experience in composing multiple layers or using orchestral effects? Sorry if that is the wrong terminology, I'm no audiophile :)

[zanderklocke]

Favorite by far is whatever plays at the Aviak Village in South Karana? Maybe that's the Qeynos song? (Too lazy to run to both places to test this)

Then I like North Freeport bank and bard guild song (that's the mainly flute song right?). Kelethin, boat, and random North Freeport theme (one with big drum hits) would follow.

Most startling zone sound in the game is the volcano explosion on Lavastorm Mountains.

[Diggles]

freeport bard guild is piano, qeynos is flute

It's also the Akanon / Steamfont Song. I was surprised no one said this until 4th page.

Otherwise it was sea/boat music, rivervale, bard guild etc for me


The world would probably have more nostalgia factor for you if you left the music on back in the old days. There was a way to turn off combat music and leave normal music on...

[shooteneq1]

my favorite would be SELO'S song of travel.

[toddfx]

Well i'll be damned. After seeing this thread I started researching to see what Jay Barbeau (original EQ composer) has been up to, and stumbled upon this:

He releaed an Everquest Remastered CD in 2009:

Aha, you are right. Now that I'm listening, I'm like hell yeah.

[Darian]

1. Ak'anon / Aviak Village
2. West Freeport / Kaladim Castle
3. Erud's Crossing / Kerra Isle
4. East Freeport Slums / North Ro
5. Kelethin

So many good ones... Qeynos just missed the cut

[zanderklocke]

This is what I thought the freeport bard guild (flute) song is. I like this song. I think it plays right before you enter the bard's guild in North Freeport.

This is basically every song. Some of these I've never heard heh.

Never heard shop 4.

[Cyph]

Thanks Zander, some awesome songs there that bring back many memories. Ocean of Tears for me, I just loved listening to that song with the waves crashing in the background.

[zanderklocke]

Anyone know where to get these all in Mp3 form? I tried searching through the EverQuest folder and only found a few Mp3's for which I did not care about, such as Lavastorm Mountain or Omen's of War songs.
