Music Theme Elimination Thread

[Kimiimaro]

Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - 7-3=4 - Great theme. I like it more and more I listen it. Especially the last two versions sound grand, majestic and invoke respect in me. However, this is an elimination thread where something has to go, and I just like the other themes better. I also still have to learn to like the ancient era chanting
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 10
India (Vaishnav Jana to tene) - 3
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 15
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) - 13+1=14 - A great theme. Each theme sounds different enough, and the theme developes really well. Especially the medieval and industrial versions are great, since one sounds like feudal Japan, and the other one like the Empire of Japan around the times of Meiji - strong, glorious industrial major power of the east.
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 15
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 20
Russia (Kalinka) - 14
Scythia (Original composition) -18
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti Asizomlanda, Bayisa, Halala, Shaka Mamba) - 17

 

[Meluhhan]

Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - 4
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 10
India (Vaishnav Jana to tene) - 4 (3+1; An appropriate choice for the civilization it represents, great variation through the eras, one of the Civ 6 themes included in the 25th anniversary sound track, must not go so soon.)
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 15
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) 14
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 15
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 20
Russia (Kalinka) - 14
Scythia (Original composition) -15 (18-3; when better themes are falling, this one should not stay this high.)
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti Asizomlanda, Bayisa, Halala, Shaka Mamba) - 17

 

[Kwami]

Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - 4
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 10+1=11 - Fantastic!
India (Vaishnav Jana to tene) - 4
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 15
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) 14
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 15
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 20-3=17 - Less fantastic!
Russia (Kalinka) - 14
Scythia (Original composition) -15
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti Asizomlanda, Bayisa, Halala, Shaka Mamba) - 17

 

[Guandao]

Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - (4+1)=5 I'll defend this theme till the very end! Native American chanting is something you have to get used to.
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 11
India (Vaishnav Jana to tene) - (4-3)=1 I'm not as into this theme as most of the others. 10th Place is a big improvement over it's early elimination in the first Music thread.
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 15
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) 14
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 15
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 17
Russia (Kalinka) - 14
Scythia (Original composition) -15
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti Asizomlanda, Bayisa, Halala, Shaka Mamba) - 17

 

[Sinaherib]

Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - 5
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 11
India (Vaishnav Jana to tene) - 1-3 ELIMINATED One of my least favourite among remaining.
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 15
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) 14
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 15
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 17
Russia (Kalinka) - 14+1=15 - Want to support it one more time. I've already explained why I like it, so in short: significant change through eras, also nice culturl and historical representation.
Scythia (Original composition) -15
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti Asizomlanda, Bayisa, Halala, Shaka Mamba) - 17

 

[BenitoChavez]

Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - 5
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 11
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 15
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) - 15 = 14 + 1. Still my favorite. I love the east Asian sound, the air of mystery, the way it echos the history time periods of Japan, etc, etc.
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 15
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 14 = 17 - 3. It's alright, but I think it's probably the weakest one left.
Russia (Kalinka) - 15
Scythia (Original composition) -15
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti Asizomlanda, Bayisa, Halala, Shaka Mamba) - 17

 

[HoorayForSiam]

Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - 6 (5+1) The chanting is a really nice touch that shows the developers put a lot of care into making this theme respectful and authentic. I didn’t love it at first, but it grows on me every time I hear it.
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 11
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 15
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) 14
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 15
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 17
Russia (Kalinka) - 15
Scythia (Original composition) -15
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti Asizomlanda, Bayisa, Halala, Shaka Mamba) - 14 (17-3) This is a great theme, and deserves to be in the Top 10 (unlike India ) but I just couldn’t make myself downvote any of the other ones. And besides, it’s hard to beat the Civ 5 theme…

 

[Zaarin]

Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - 7 (6 + 1) -- I can't believe the second best theme in the game is this low.
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 11 -- If this theme doesn't take your breath away, you might want to check you pulse...
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 15
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) 11 (14 - 3) -- I'm rather surprised this is still here. It's one of the more boring themes in the game; they could have done much better. Should certainly have gone before China, America, etc.
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 15
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 17
Russia (Kalinka) - 15
Scythia (Original composition) -15
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti Asizomlanda, Bayisa, Halala, Shaka Mamba) - 14

 

[Morningcalm]

Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - 7
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 11
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 15
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) 11 + 1 = 12 (Mysterious at parts, epic at others, with interesting variations between ages and excellent wood instruments. Sings hauntingly of Japan and evokes it far more thoroughly than Civ V's theme ever did. Firaxis didn't idly choose Japan's Atomic theme before its developers' livestreams.)
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 15
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 17
Russia (Kalinka) - 15 - 3 = 12 (Overrated and repetitive, stereotypical to the level of cartoonishness, no subtlety, and while the Atomic theme has vocals, it is the only theme remaining aside from Persia's and Georgia's that I cannot summon from memory. (Georgia's theme is good otherwise though.) India or America should be here in its place.)
Scythia (Original composition) -15
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti Asizomlanda, Bayisa, Halala, Shaka Mamba) - 14

Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 17

Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti Asizomlanda, Bayisa, Halala, Shaka Mamba) - 14

 

[Laurana Kanan]

Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - (8-3) = 5 Incredibly annoying after awhile.

Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 15
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby)- 12
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 12 (15-3) Definitely not better than the Cree nor Scythia's

Russia (Kalinka) - 12
Scythia (Original composition) - 12
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti Asizomlanda, Bayisa, Halala, Shaka Mamba) - 14

 

[Pietato]

Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - 7 - Still the best

[Snipee356]

Japan (Itsuki Lullaby)- 12
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 12

Russia (Kalinka) - 9 - My least favourites are Cree and Russia, and Cree is probably going to be eliminated soon so...
Scythia (Original composition) - 12
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti Asizomlanda, Bayisa, Halala, Shaka Mamba) - 14

 

[Wyvern_Parade]

Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - 7
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 7 (10-3) Good, but a little too repetitive throughout the ages.
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 16
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby)- 12
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 13 (12+1) Fits Mongolia perfectly.

Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti Asizomlanda, Bayisa, Halala, Shaka Mamba) - 14

 

[frubox]

Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - 8 (7+1) clearly the most controversial ahahaha, but I am not giving up on it
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 7
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 13 (16-3) inconsistent and lacks a main recognizable tune

Russia (Kalinka) - 9

[shadow8803]

Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - 8
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 8 (7+1) To each their own, but I believe the Georgian music DOES evolve over the eras. It never gets old for me, and it is deserves to be at/near the top.
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 13
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby)- 12
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 13
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 11 (14-3) It's not bad, but not top 5 material.
Russia (Kalinka) - 9
Scythia (Original composition) - 12
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti Asizomlanda, Bayisa, Halala, Shaka Mamba) - 14

 

[CypherEnigma]

Cree (The Drums of Poundmaker) - 5 (8-3) Almost feel bad downvoting this since so many are passionate about it but I don't like it. Sorry.
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 9 (8+1) The only reason I like playing Georgia.
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 13
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) - 12

Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 13
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 11

Scythia (Original composition) -12
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti Asizomlanda, Bayisa, Halala, Shaka Mamba) - 11 (14-3) After India got voted out this one is the next for me to go.
