Canada (Vive la Canadienne; O Canada) - 9
China (Jasmine Flower) - 22
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 11
Greece (Epitaph of Seikilos) - 4 (7-3): As much as I dislike Hungary's theme, there is no way this one - a lazy carry-over from Civ V - should still be here.
Hungary (Hej Dunáról fúj a szél; Cinege, Cinege) - 16
India (Vaishna Jana to tene) - 6
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 23

Arabia (Üsküdara) - 13
Canada (Vive la Canadienne; O Canada) - 9
China (Jasmine Flower) - 22
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 8 (11-3) - enough of the depressing moaning already. This is the kind of music only a monk's mother could love.

India (Vaishna Jana to tene) - 6
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 23
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) - 24

[Leucarum]

Arabia (Üsküdara) - 13
Canada (Vive la Canadienne; O Canada) - 9
China (Jasmine Flower) - 22
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 8
Greece (Epitaph of Seikilos) - 1
India (Vaishna Jana to tene) - 3 (6-3) It's thematic and a nice nod to Ghandi as their leader but there are better themes on the list.
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 23
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) - 24
Mali (Mali Sadjo; Masana Seesay) - 26

Poland (Hej ide w las) - 19

Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti) - 21

Greece (Epitaph of Seikilos) - 1

Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 23
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) - 24
Mali (Mali Sadjo; Masana Seesay) - 27 (26 + 1) A pleasant and recognizably progressive theme.
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 29
Nubia (Allah Musau) - 11
Ottomans (Yelkenler Biçilecek) - 8 (11 - 3) There is no build up or transition from early eras to late eras, just a crazy abrupt jump to bombasticity.
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 25
Phoenicia (Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal, no. 6) - 16
Poland (Hej ide w las) - 19
Scythia (Traditional Melody) - 23

[Weraptor]

Arabia (Üsküdara) - 13
Canada (Vive la Canadienne; O Canada) - 9
China (Jasmine Flower) - 22
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 8
Greece (Epitaph of Seikilos) - 1
India (Vaishna Jana to tene) - ELIMINATED (3-3) Another one to bite the dust, not very impressive.
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 23
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) - 24
Mali (Mali Sadjo; Masana Seesay) - 27
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 29

Sumeria (Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal, no. 6) - 12
Sweden (Helan går; Polska efter Pelle Fors; Slängpolska efter Byss-Calle) - 15

[Kimiimaro]

Arabia (Üsküdara) - 13
Canada (Vive la Canadienne; O Canada) - 9
China (Jasmine Flower) - 22-3=19 - A felt a small need to give this a single strike because replacing erhu with generic violin is a crime comparable to castanets having only some 30 seconds of time in all four versions of Spanish theme combined.
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 8 - Being 18 year old male, I can assure a certain downvoter that one does not have to be a monk's mother to be able to enjoy these glorious and unique pieces.
Greece (Epitaph of Seikilos) - 1
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 23
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) - 24
Mali (Mali Sadjo; Masana Seesay) - 27
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 29
Nubia (Allah Musau) - 11
Ottomans (Yelkenler Biçilecek) - 8+1=9 - Working with traditional instruments in all four eras, like Indonesia. Immersive, makes me feel the development of the Ottoman Empire, and Atomic era presents image of how the Ottoman Empire could look if it never became the sick man of Europe, but instead continued its rise. These themes show both sides of the empire - realm bustling with life, and military juggernaut that shines with power. Added singing in two eras to double the awesomeness and improve this immersion. As I said, too magnificent to fall before the likes of Phoenicia, Greece or Sumer.
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 25
Phoenicia (Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal, no. 6) - 16
Poland (Hej ide w las) - 19
Scythia (Traditional Melody) - 24
Spain (Recuerdos de la Alhambra) - 18

[cosmicmangobear]

Arabia (Üsküdara) - 13
Canada (Vive la Canadienne; O Canada) - 9
China (Jasmine Flower) - 19
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 8
Greece (Epitaph of Seikilos) - 2 (1+1) I fear this one will be eliminated soon, but I’m rather fond of this one. It’s instantly recognizable, uplifting without being too campy, and fits the tone of the game well, much like the American themes (RIP).
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 23
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) - 24
Mali (Mali Sadjo; Masana Seesay) - 27
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 29
Nubia (Allah Musau) - 11
Ottomans (Yelkenler Biçilecek) - 9
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 25
Phoenicia (Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal, no. 6) -16
Poland (Hej ide w las) - 19
Scythia (Traditional Melody) - 24
Spain (Recuerdos de la Alhambra) - 18
Sumeria (Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal, no. 6) - 9 (12-3) Not very memorable or evocative of ancient Mesopotamia IMO. And while the Atomic theme is cool, Phoenicia did a much better job with the source material.
Sweden (Helan går; Polska efter Pelle Fors;Slängpolska efter Byss-Calle) - 15
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti) - 21

 

[Sinaherib]

Arabia (Üsküdara) - 13
Canada (Vive la Canadienne; O Canada) - 9
China (Jasmine Flower) - 19
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 5 (8-3) - It is very beautiful theme, but too much vocal for my taste.
Greece (Epitaph of Seikilos) - 2
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 23
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) - 24
Mali (Mali Sadjo; Masana Seesay) - 27

Nubia (Allah Musau) - 11
Ottomans (Yelkenler Biçilecek) - 9
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 25

Poland (Hej ide w las) - 19
Scythia (Traditional Melody) - 24
Spain (Recuerdos de la Alhambra) - 18
Sumeria (Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal, no. 6) - 10 (9+1) I always liked this one, so I support it one more time.

Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 23
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) - 24
Mali (Mali Sadjo; Masana Seesay) - 27
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 30 (29+1) You stick around.

[TeddyMain]

Arabia (Üsküdara) - 13
Canada (Vive la Canadienne; O Canada) - 9
China (Jasmine Flower) - 19
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 6 (5+1) I'm gonna breathe a little bit of life into this one. I enjoy the vocals, they're calm and collected, and give a grand church vibe to the theme.
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 23
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) - 24
Mali (Mali Sadjo; Masana Seesay) - 27
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 30
Nubia (Allah Musau) - 11
Ottomans (Yelkenler Biçilecek) - 9

Scythia (Traditional Melody) - 24
Spain (Recuerdos de la Alhambra) - 18
Sumeria (Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal, no. 6) - 10
Sweden (Helan går; Polska efter Pelle Fors;Slängpolska efter Byss-Calle) - 12 (15-3) Not gonna lie, this one kinda disappointed me. When I heard there would be electric guitar in the Atomic, I got pretty hyped. Then I listened to the 20 seconds of the guitar that existed, and realized this theme was not as good as I thought.
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti) - 21

 

[Edmund Ironside]

Arabia (Üsküdara) - 13
Canada (Vive la Canadienne; O Canada) - 9
China (Jasmine Flower) - 20 (19+1) Though they didn't hit the ball out of the park with this tune, there still is a lot to like. Immediately makes you think of China, is pleasant background music, and works well in ever era, especially atomic.
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 6
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 23
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) - 24
Mali (Mali Sadjo; Masana Seesay) - 27
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 30
Nubia (Allah Musau) - 11
Ottomans (Yelkenler Biçilecek) - 9
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 25
Phoenicia (Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal, no. 6) -16
Poland (Hej ide w las) - 19
Scythia (Traditional Melody) - 24
Spain (Recuerdos de la Alhambra) - 18
Sumeria (Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal, no. 6) - 10
Sweden (Helan går; Polska efter Pelle Fors;Slängpolska efter Byss-Calle) - 9 (12-3) Not bad per say, but pretty underwhelming overall. It maybe works in the medieval period, but the ancient and atomic versions really don't hit the mark for me.
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti) - 21

Poland (Hej ide w las) - 19
Scythia (Traditional Melody) - 24
Spain (Recuerdos de la Alhambra) - 15 (18 - 3). A mixed bag for me. Excellent in some eras, not so good in others
Sumeria (Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal, no. 6) - 10
Sweden (Helan går; Polska efter Pelle Fors;Slängpolska efter Byss-Calle) - 9
Zulu (Uthe Ubhuti) - 22 (21 + 1). This thread is bound not to have consensus on a top 10 because taste in music is just so varied. Can only talk about how we feel about what we hear.
Giving more love to this theme. Between this one and Mongolia, Rise and Fall warmongers were done justice! I think they nailed it here

 

[krokobone]

Not a vote, just adding Hungary back in, as it was dropped a few posts back.

[blackcatatonic]

Canada (Vive la Canadienne; O Canada) - 9
China (Jasmine Flower) - 20
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 7 (6+1): Helping this one stick around a little bit longer. It's so unique compared to the other themes. Seems a shame to see it go relatively early.
Hungary (Hej Dunáról fúj a szél; Cinege, Cinege) - 13 (16-3): I really don't understand why this one has survived so long. For me it's in the same category as the other repetitive themes that have all already gone.
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 23

Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 30
Nubia (Allah Musau) - 11
Ottomans (Yelkenler Biçilecek) - 6 (9 - 3) I find the early eras an earsore and the transition jarring.

Mali (Mali Sadjo; Masana Seesay) - 28
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 30
Nubia (Allah Musau) - 8
Ottomans (Yelkenler Biçilecek) - 6+1=7 - I think I'll keep fighting for this one till the very end. One of the top three for me, along with Scythia and Mongolia. Doesn't get tired to me, sounds very powerful, very Ottoman/Turkish and invokes probably the sharpest imagery of them all, and I consider the industrial version of the Ottoman theme to be the very best musical piece out of all Civ themes in the game. It gets a plus point is for lovely oriental instruments kept through all of the four variants, and another plus point for including choir not in one, but two versions of the theme.

Poland (Hej ide w las) - 19
Scythia (Traditional Melody) - 24
Spain (Recuerdos de la Alhambra) - 15
Sumeria (Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal, no. 6) - 10-3=7 - Does not invoke much of imagery in me, I'm afraid.

[Morningcalm]

Canada (Vive la Canadienne; O Canada) - 6 (9-3) Unoriginal tune, and not at all memorable anyway.
China (Jasmine Flower) - 20
Georgia (Shen Khar Venakhi; Tsaiqvanes Tamar Kali) - 7
Hungary (Hej Dunáról fúj a szél; Cinege, Cinege) - 13
Indonesia (Rejang Dewa; Bapang Selisir) - 23
Japan (Itsuki Lullaby) - 24
Mali (Mali Sadjo; Masana Seesay) - 28
Mongolia (Pastoral Song; Urtin Duu) - 30
Nubia (Allah Musau) - 8
Ottomans (Yelkenler Biçilecek) - 8 (7+1) - I am dismayed this one is so near elimination. This is by far one of the best tracks in the game, not only for its instrumentation and harmony, but because its era progression is fairly noticeable.
Persia (Kereshme + Reng-e Shalakhu) - 25
Phoenicia (Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal, no. 6) -16 (Why is this one still so high? This is another dreadfully unmemorable tune.)
Poland (Hej ide w las) - 19
Scythia (Traditional Melody) - 24
Spain (Recuerdos de la Alhambra) - 15
Sumeria (Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal, no. 6) - 7
Sweden (Helan går; Polska efter Pelle Fors;Slängpolska efter Byss-Calle) - 10
