Y'ever get any Oblivion music stuck in your head? I find my self once in a while idly humming the opening music. More often, though, as I'm playing Oblivion, I find myself humming or whistling a tune from Heroes of Might and Magic IV. Now, please tell me I'm not the only one who's this weird. :lol:

BTW, the title is my onomatopoeia for the opening few bars. :lol:

To clarify a point, I find that the HOMM IV music really fits the scenery sometimes. That, and I'll also get Blind Guardian's "The Bard's Song" in my head, since that, I think, also reflects some of the feel.

I love the main theme. The bit where the horns come in - Bom bom bom daa dadada daa dadada daa dadada daa!

oblvion soundtrack, all things considered, about 8.5/10.

morrowind soundtrack, 10/10.

As a game I prefer Oblivion, but Morrowind had better music.
as I am obivously biased, I will not skew the results by voting.

Maybe I've turned down the volume of the music too low. But except for the main theme, I hardly hear any music at all. And I don't like the main theme. So, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest score, I'd give Oblivion a 4.

I loved the Morrowind soundtrack, though. Always heard it, I could always tell when I was being attacked. And the music never got on my nerves.

I got tired of the Oblivion soundtrack, and added my own music. Now I'm using the ones Akela uploaded. Those are really great.

The main theme always reminds me of the music from "Pirates of the Carribian".

Is it just me or do you notice it too?

Yeah, it does remind me of PotC. Also reminds me of Cervantes' theme from Soul Calibur 2, if anyone plays that.

I get sick of that epic orchestral stuff very quickly. I like classical music, but this isn't classical music, it's boring medieval-action-movie music.

I keep it turned off and listen to my 4,000 song playlist.
