Just curious. All Bard songs and DLC tracks are applicable.

There are a number of good ones, but I think my favorite is Siege of Adamant as it's absolutely pitch perfect for that opening cinematic scene.

Oh it would probably be easier to name the songs I did not think were my favorites. Of course starting with the main theme/ the dawn will come set the tone for the game perfectly. The erfect sense of wonder building up into grand adventure and action. The Elder One Theme probably is at least a good deal of the reason I rank Corypheus so highly on my bad guy list. Again, just perfect in its sense of how it just built on itself and most of the other times the theme was in. Perfection. Journey to Skyhold...how can you not grin like an idiot after that scene? The musical bit as you are dealing with Cory once and for all 'you wanted into the fade!' And both Siege of Adamant, and the Fall, perfect for what was going on and really enhanced the emotion of those scenes as I was like wha- . From the DLC you have the Descent battle theme and main theme. Again love the way it just builds up on itself faster and faster and faster, louder and louder, and itreminds me very much of Stargate SG-1s main theme or some of the music used in that show. And then both the 'dark solas theme' and We Fight On. We Fight On having an element of finality to it.

From the soundtrack: Journey to Skyhold, Siege of Adamant, Descent Main Theme, Dark Solas Theme, and Lost Elf Theme. One of my favorites is not on the soundtrack and it's the music that plays during IYHSB when you are positioning the trebuchet. And then both the 'dark solas theme' and We Fight On. We Fight On having an element of finality to it. They are the same track... We Fight On was the name given to it before the soundtrack for the DLC was released and the official track name was known.

That's a hard one, inquisition has many good songs . . . hmm
We Fight on (I know that's not the official name) is great. Listening to it never fails to make me want to play a dragon age game.
I also really like The Inquisition Marches, the buildup is good.

Journey to Skyhold and The Inquisition Marches. These two, together with Main Theme are just absolutely brilliant. Then The Lost Temple, I really like that one, especially during its slower first half. Bard songs didn´t really catch my heart, except for Fall of the Magister, which might have something to do with epic Trespasser ending credits.

Like a lot of people, I like most of the Trevor Morris's songs. But I'm obsessed by some particular songs like Caer Oswin* & Wicked Eyes & Wicked Hearts themes. WE&WH theme expresses very well the mysteries of Halamshiral I eventually saved the short ambient loop ( based on WE&WH) originaly played when you're on the DAI website hidden content. The bard songs: Enchanters can't stop listening to it. and Rise.(loneliness + warm feelings & lyrics) Trespasser song : dark solas theme cause so deliciously tearing * I noticed there is three variants of the Caer Oswin song: The first time you went to the Hinterland and meet mother Gisele, I used to stay there just to listen to it, near the statue Once you reach Caer Oswin, just before entering the castle.(more military like drums and temporized) And when inside the castle.(more heavy and rythmed + low chorus behind) Apparently the same version as when you fight the Vinsomer Dragon.

Songs from DAI's soundtracks:
Journey to Skyhold - It fits the theme of hope and rebuild for the fledging Inquisition after Haven was lost. Plus the Herald is officially crowned as Inquisitor.
March of the Inquisition - It shows that the Inquisition has grown in power and influence when the army marches in the Arbor Wilds.
The Descent Main Theme - Badass. I like the build up of the song that fits in with all the action. Especially fighting waves of enemies leading up to a boss battle.
Dark Solas (Trespasser) - great battle theme against the Saraath boss before crossing into the eluvian to meet Solas. But I like it more in the scene where the Inquisitor is plotting to stop Solas. (In my canon Inquisitor's case, she's out for revenge).
Lost Elf (Trespasser) - I like how this theme expresses a lot of emotion. It fits well with Lavellan/Solas romance, especially if the lady chooses to save him from himself.
For the tavern songs:
Enchanters - I like both the lyrics and rhythm to the song.
Fall of the Magister (Trespasser) - Loved this song when Cassandra was reading Varric's All This Shit Is Real book during Trespasser's end credits. Plus the lyrics tell the story about the Inquisitor defeating Corypheus.
Inquisitor (Trespasser) - It shows the Inquisitor in a positive light despite what happened during Trespasser. I felt the people were too caught up in the negativity such as the Qunari plot, Solas and other troubles that they forgot about the Inquisition's original purpose. That was until the Inquisitor reminded them when he/she brought the late Divine Justinia's directive to the Exalted Council.

I'll just add a few more: 'I am the one' (nice tie-in with Origins), Dawn Will Come and Qunari Atmosphere (it never fails to send chills down my spine).

*looks at track list in Windows Media Player*
In Hushed Whispers - one reason I like this mission better than CotJ Western Approach/Siege of Adamant/Adamant Fortress (and basically all desert area background music) The Lost Temple Thedas Love Theme Descent: Main Theme Trespasser: Dark Solas Theme
Not on soundtrack: music playing during IYHSB/trebuchets - why not on the soundtrack??! All dragon fight music

From the vanilla game my favorite is actually not on the list of released soundtracks - it's the theme for Battle for Haven. I love having it in the background when I am studying, for some reason it really motivates me. From the DLC I really love the Lost Elf theme - it's so beautiful, sad and powerful all at the same time. I also really like the dark version. I also really like the Descent Main theme, it's just so amazing! Ugh, I laos forgot The Dawn Will Come - gave me chills the first time I heard it!

[SPOILERS] Where do we listen to all the songs outside of the game? I like that nightengale song sung by the minstral in Skyhold's bar. I got seriously choked up with the cutscene where the humans were singing after Haven fell. My gawd I loved that. So now when I hear that song played in loading screens it's like nostalgia. Makes me remember I have a reason for subjugating these mortals, *caugh*, I mean carefully assisting humankind besides just chasing Dorian's ass around.

I couldn't really pick out favourites from the score, but from the tavern songs, Once We Were is standout to me. The sweet-but-melancholic, wistful reflection in the lyrics spoke to me as I was playing through my main Inquisitor, and it consequently became a cornerstone in the building of her character and motivations. The two are now inextricably linked in my mind; it's practically her theme song.

This one. This theme, for me, is the Dragon Age equivalent of "Suicide Mission" theme.

Ohhh, the soundtrack for this game is so good! But off the top of my head the most memorable for me are probably Corypheus' theme, and Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts and the ambient variations of it that play in the Emerald Graves.
Out of the bard songs I like Enchanters and Nightengales Eyes the most.
And out of the dlcs I enjoyed the main theme of The Descent (that track is just SO MUCH HYPE omg), and of course Dark Solas and Lost Elf from Trespasser. The emotion put into those was quite overwhelming even. Nothing sticks out from Jaws of Hakkon though, unfortunately.

My favorite song is Sera was never. It's just so catchy and uplifting. I also really like Enchanters. Good songs to hum when doing chores, depending on the mood. As for the non vocal songs, I haven't really listened to them so I can't make a judgement. But I do like the Val Royeaux theme, it's fancy.

Sera and Enchanters are my favorites too. They are just beautiful. From the instrumentals, there is one, that I really remember: the tune, thats playing during the battle at Haven - it has such a desperate, yet somehow hopeful melody.
I have to say that DAI is the first of the DA games, I actually like the music. I don't even remember most of the tunes in the other games (except for the title melody of DAO). And I didn't like the elven song, Leliana sung at the camp - it would have been a nice song, if they had kept it simple like the tavern songs in DAI, but the orchestra in the background really destroyed the mood. And I don't like the singing voice of Leliana that much, but that is just personal taste.

Dark Solas Theme and the version that isn't on the soundtrack for some insane reason, the slower more emotional version that plays during Solas' final sequence are easily my favorite from the entire lineup. Both of these tracks really capture the entire tragic hero vibe coming out of Trespasser and makes for a great capper to the entire story.

I have a soft spot for "Orb of Destruction", which encapsulates the moment the Inquisitor finally turns the tables on Corypheus.
The "Descent Main Theme" is incredible and I wouldn't mind becoming the standard Dwarven theme in Dragon Age from this point forward.
