Breakfast Topic: What is your class theme song?

by Robin Torres Feb 14th 2012 at 8:00AM

In a past edition of The Queue, evoxpisces asked,

If each class had its own theme song, what would they be? Or at least what genres would each represent them?

Some commenters answered with their opinions, but I didn't read them because I wanted to form my own list without anyone's influence.

Druid Boadicea by Enya It is woodsy with a hint of danger.
Shaman Down to Earth by Peter Gabriel But I was really tempted by Daniel Radcliffe singing Tom Lehrer's Elements.
Death knight Du Hast by Rammstein Too obvious?
Mage Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind and Fire Mages are quite a bit flashy. In fact, I think the next tier set should be based on the costumes from that video.
Warlock Cold by The Cure I guess The Cure was a pretty obvious choice as well. Fire by Arthur Brown was a runner up.
Rogue Hide and Seek by Namie Amuro, but only because of the great video Craft of War: Blind, where a rogue really shines.
Warrior Birth, School, Work, Death by The Godfathers The perfect workhorse song -- though a bit fatalistic.
Hunter Hunter by Dido I just went literal with this one.
Paladin Gold by Spandau Ballet because pallies are so shiny. Blood elf paladins get their very own song and video, above.
Priest Violet by Hole I can't believe I left priests off the list at first! My apologies. Please still heal me.

What do you think of my list? What theme song or genre would you choose for your class or all classes?

A good Hunter does not play his own theme song. He uses Misdirection and lets someone else play it for him, whether or not they want to.

'Never worried/ about my threat
'cause I've got FD/ and Misdirect
Catchin' loose mobs/ in my traps,
I never miss/ 'cause I am hit-capped.'

Well, for my DK about all Metallica and Iron Maiden songs. Curiosly, heavy metal or other agressive music tends to increase my DPS

For my Gnome Warrior - "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty. Tom petty sings like a gnome to me.

I like your playlist Robin. Sound like you might listen to First Wave from time to time :P

Only my mage has his own song- mostly because I named him after the artist.

The funniest thing is, I forgot her name starts with a C. Anyways- Enjoy :)

I probably should have put his name in there- Shakakhan. Named after Chaka Khan :)

Glad someone beat me to it. I was worried about you people.

I especially like the part where Frost feigns death and misdirects onto the healer (1:26). Really easy to miss.

yup.

The warrior song that you picked is ok but it's a bit bland for a warrior honestly. For some reason, Eye of the Tiger always pops into my head when playing my warrior. Something about all that hard work and sweat that Rocky puts in while doing his typical training montage seems to fit with the bare knuckle, straight-forward approach of the warrior class. No nonsense, just straight ahead head-bashing.

cromahr Feb 14th 2012 9:08AM

Totally agreed there. For huge raid bosses or prolonged raid evenings, follow that up with the "Rocky Training Montage" from Rocky 4. Imagine that playing in the background while tanking group after group, boss after boss, and you might notice mobs pouring in from other raid IDs to be tanked by you =)
