I gotta enter this competition by saying one of my most favourite tracks in the new remade music, is the variation on the main theme: "Scape Melancholy". It is such a beautiful arrangement of the original tune. Also lovely to hear real instruments... despite the special place in my heart for the original music. :D

As a composer myself, I really appreciate the work gone into rescoring, rearranging and recording/mixing/mastering the new music. It is all fantastic, and it must have been great fun for the composer(s) to play around with the old themes!

My favorite hearkens back to the days of Fire Giant slaying in the waterfall.
"Theme" is the song - hint says it's unlocked near Coal Trucks.
I seem to remember it stretching back further towards the Waterfall;
perhaps over time it was updated since this was a released song in 2004.

It has a smooth, and kind of epic ride through the song.
It's more nostalgia based than just about anything;
I would often go, and train with friends at Fire Giants looking
for the elusive Dragon Med Helm worth 2.4mil back then - which
was the price of the Santa Hat! I was only 14, and so stoked!

I also recall the song close to what was an infamous broken bridge north of Seers that my friends & I theorized over what could be beyond it - before Rellekka. There was a wolf that you could sometimes shoot with a spell or arrow I believe.

"Theme" would play often, and it was a background element I won't soon forget.
I believe the song has been ever so slightly updated since then, but it remains true
to the root melody. Thanks for bringing so many years of laughs, and adrenaline rushes.

I had so many friends that have moved on since back then, but there's always something there to remind of of when I was young, and wide eyed at the world of RuneScape.

My favorite piece of runescape music has to be Jungle Hunt, back in 2007 I got 99 hunter and was my biggest accomplishment on runescape still today. during the grind i would pop on the music to stay motivated. jungle hunt was a banger, it starts slow, warming you up like a nice cuppa tea! then outta nowhere picks up the intensity with all these background noises, and jungle sounds. really puts you in the elements. you feel like you are part of the jungle, one with hunter. great job :)

My vote would definitely go to Attack 2. When I was f2p I would often put on this song because it was so upbeat and exciting to listen to.
When I finally became p2p I spent a day to unlock all the other Attack songs. After I was done I still felt Attack 2 was the best song!

There is no doubt that the most important song to me is the odd "Medieval". I wont lie to you, i started playing this game in 08, and a was only a child (i know its "wrong", but who never did it??).
We all know the things are always more fantastic when we was young, and this game called Runescape just made all my childhood because of it; i used to see a misterious and fabulous aura around Runescape. Every time that i play Medieval on youtube i feel the Aura again, i can see my odd friends playing with me, i remember when everyone used to be a noob, remember when i was just a free-to-play making a roleplay account (i wasnt a roleplayer, actually i didnt know the "strategies" to grow!), i remember the hours spent at the Lumb goblins, i remember when i used to pick potatoes to sell in GE, when my friends made a big saving to buy me a full runite, i can see Draynor full of timbermans, i can remember about me fishing in Musa Point!
You guys may not care about it, but this game made me the person who i am. I learned a bunch of thing playing Runescape: How to save money, how to make friends, teamwork etc.
And i will be grateful forever to you that make this incredible game, it doesnt matter the future, it already is the most important game of my life!

(i need to say, i "found" the odd Medieval on youtube two years ago. It was a hard time of my life, and when i heard it for the first time, i cried so much. That nostalgia couldnt be explained, cuze it was greater than everything! Then, a few days after it i decided to return to Runescape... and now, here i am.)

I love "harmony" as it makes me think of peaceful skilling so I play it whenever I'm doing that. Although it isn't a piece of music in-game, I find "Fairytale of Gielinor" is absolutely brilliant for getting in that Runescape Christmas mood

My two favorite songs at the moment are Elven Heart and Champions of Sliske. EH has such a relaxing choral tone to it that really brings out the ambiance of Prifddinas. It's mixture of uplift and requiescence makes skilling in Prif all the better! CoS to me is such a well placed and exciting piece that really embodies the Sliske's Endgame finale. Listening to this song while in the battle definitely heightened my senses and left me anxious to finally obtain victory and claim the long awaited QPC. Both very enjoyable pieces to listen to! ^_^

I'm not sure the name of the track but its the old sounding swing tune the music box plays when you dance with it (our clan always brings it to shooting stars). It reminds me of a gramophone my great grandmother left us complete with wax pressed records. I think of it every time we dance waiting for game day star sprite.
