I say either Makeb or Alderaan. Makeb is my favorite but Alderaan's is very very close second. And I must say, all the music post GSF's release has been a far cry from what was originally in the game.

Balmorra by far. For many players, "Occupation of Balmorra" and "Balmorra, The Forge" are the favorite tracks from the game, and Makeb and the other more current music don't even come close to that.

Yes, Alderaan also has nice music; it would be my second favorite.

Makeb is not part of the "new music." You can tell just via production quality.

Hoth. It's creepily, beautifully, haunting and elegant.

I usually run around with music on low since sometimes the battle music doesn't end after the battle and I am running around a home base. But I like Hoth. Voss is a pretty world, but it has the creepiest music, IMO.

Alderaan !

 

I love the feel of the music and its complexity. Graceful and discordant. My opinion might also be swayed from being a classically trained multi-instrumentalist

Alderaan......

 

 

 

 

Btw, just looking to purchase the original soundtrack for this game is hard. If you happen to find it, expect to pay at least 20/25 dollars, and that's if you are lucky.

 

 

Becoming rarer all the time. I just bought one of Ebay, and it took weeks to find it by itself, and not in the CE.....

I like Alderaan because it reminds me of the chapel theme from Daggerfall.

 

And I like Hoth because it reminds me of "Crystal Forest" from Secret of Mana.

 

I'm sensing a theme here...

Balmorra is my favorite followed by Alderaan, Belsavis, Hoth, Tatooine

 

Also my favorite cantina tune is the one called carbines in the wind. Sadly its not in any of the soundtracks for some reason

Yeah it seems a lot of the music is not actually on the soundtrack. For instance the song that played when you fight Reven for the first time in The Foundry.

I vote for Balmorra and Hoth.

I agree. Balmorra is far and away my favorite. I just love pulling into the spaceport and hearing strains of The Forge. It's majestic and awesome. Love it.

Balmorra, the Forge. That soundtrack stands so far above the rest I feel it should be known to people outside SWTOR as well.

 

Makeb is the worst one imo, I always sigh when the music starts at the loading screen.

 

As a sidenote: for cantina music its definitely Smeeleeya Whao Tupee Upee.

 

 

EDIT: oh and I like Manaan a lot too for nostalgic reasons.

There's only one spot in the game I remember stopping in my first run through and going 'wow, this is great'.

 

The soundtrack that plays on Hoth's orbital station is absolutely magical and sets a really neat tone. It's completely non-indicative of how awful Hoth is.

Imperial Balmora! When my Sith toons get off of their ship in the spaceport, they walk from their ship towards the customs check point, with that music playing. Makes it feel like an epic scene where the baddest baddy just arrived.

Balmorra, Voss and Hoth

Balmorra, Makeb and Alderaan are my TOP 3 possibly.

 

I do like other planets a lot as well, including Coruscant and Voss. Belsavis also has these ominous tunes that send a chill down the spine. Mystery, mystery...

Pandora!

Balmorra by far. For many players, "Occupation of Balmorra" and "Balmorra, The Forge" are the favorite tracks from the game, and Makeb and the other more current music don't even come close to that.

Agree with Balmorra on the Empire side.

Alderaan and Balmorra are my favorites to listen to.

 

Honorable mention to Hoth and Taris because they do a great job setting up the mood for their respective planets.

Balmorra for

 

Republic Fleet also deserves a mention for the beautiful ambient track that plays occasionally. It's the one thing on Rep Fleet that is much better than the Imp Fleet.

I think it's a tie for me between Korriban and Ziost.

The Stellar Hits Jukebox, on any planet.

 

It's the only Jukebox that plays two songs with vocals and the songs are both awesome! The language sung sounds like a mixture of Russian and Alien.

 

No idea where they got these songs but they are the best in the game imo.

Arriving on Balmorra. When I first entered loading screen back in 2011 it really struck me.

 

 

It also has beautiful ambience.

I never cared much for the music of swtor. At some point I turned it off to avoid rights issues with putting game footage on youtube, and having turned it back on a few months ago, it largely seems as forgettable as I remembered it to be. A few bits of content that I never heard the music of yet managed to grab my attention for a few seconds, but the only real exception for me is the first 15 or so seconds of 'The Forge'.

 

Loading Balmorra on imperials would always give a bit of extra buzz.

 

(And I even love the music from SW movies--especially the original three--but the game just does not seem to do much of anything for me.)

Easy. Imperial Balmorra!
