Listened to the whole thing fortunately (and Truth like a million times on repeat, ahem..) Queen's Justice was one of my favourites, too. Variation of Rains of Castamere (I can never get enough of that) and parts from The Light of the Seven at the End.

"Army of the Dead" was my favourite. Almost on par with the Light of the Seven. One of the best tracks in the entire series IMO.

I'm still loving Casterly Rock music with the Targaryen and Lannister themes mixed together.

GD Truth is absolutely beautiful. Especially the end. Parts of it remind me a bit of Last of the Mohicans (which has one of my favorite scores). Probably top 5 for me from GoT. As of now it'd probably be:
Light of the Seven What is Dead May Never Die Finale Mysha Truth

As of now it'd probably be: Light of the Seven What is Dead May Never Die Finale Mysha Truth "Light of the Seven" will always be number one, but I'd place "The Wars to Come" right behind it. It's an epic medley of four different themes: Stark, Stannis, Bolton and Brienne. It's got everything. And "Bastard" is my favorite battle theme:

Don't know that the soundtrack quite reaches the heights of the last two seasons, which were just memorable piece after memorable piece. Still a ton of fantastic stuff, and the Jon/Dany Ice and Fire motif is a standout.

I was gonna wait until the series was over to add my picks, but with S8 probably in 2019, I’m not sure I could wait that long. Season 11. Finale - There could not have been a better soundtrack to end the first season. Dany's music is consistently top notch, and this track's a great one to kick it off. 2. King of the North - The best rendition of the Stark theme of the season. I chose this one over Goodbye Brother and Kill Them All because it’s far more uplifting, while also managing to convey the foreboding undertones shown in Cat’s expression during the scene. 3. Await the King’s Justice - The theme that is now more closely associated with Littlefinger is perhaps one of the most tense tracks in the show. Perfectly encapsulates the intrigue and plotting of the early seasons. Season 21. Mother of Dragons - It’s basically a Daenerys version of the main theme. If I ever hear this I can’t help but hum along. **Ah, I've figured out why I like this one so much - it's the theme that plays when Barristan kneels to Dany in 301. I've watched that moment many times so no wonder I like the music! 2. Warrior of Light - Initially I’d say this is more suited towards Mel, since the first minute is very slow and mysterious. Djawadi could not have made a better theme for that character. It’s really when the drums kick in that it becomes Stannis’ theme, and damn is it good. 3. I Will Keep You Safe - Every once in a while, there comes a track that is so distinct and memorable to me, I can picture the scene in my mind. This is one of those. Near the end of this one, I can clearly see Tywin Lannister pushing through the other soldiers and swaggering his way to the throne. Season 31. A Lannister Always Pays His Debts - Although the Rains of Castamere tune was introduced in S2, it doesn’t get a chance to really shine until S3. This is probably my favourite version of that theme. Love that percussion. 2. I Have to Go North - I think this track is pretty underrated. It’s the only rendition of the Stark theme that’s neither remotely depressing nor ominous; so it gets points there. 3. Mhysa - Next to The Children in S4, it’s one of the most cheery themes in the series, which fits the ending of the episode perfectly. Season 41. Two Swords - The total lack of dialogue and the chilling stare of Charles Dance, amplified by this beautiful transition from the Stark theme to Rains, makes the scene my favourite opening to any episode. 2. The Children - I wasn’t a huge fan of the ending itself, but the music played over the scene more than makes up for that. 3. You Are No Son of Mine - I’ll be honest: I struggled to find a third song from S4; it definitely had my least favourite soundtrack. I’m pretty sure the latter half of this one is ripped straight from Dark Wings, Dark Words from S3. Since that was pretty high up on that season’s list, I’ve included it in this list to compensate. Rains of Castamere always gets points from me, and it leads into a very chilling rendition of the main theme. Season 51. The Wars to Come - Just flawless. The Stark/Stannis/Bolton combo is absolutely incredible and I could listen to the final minute of this all day. 2. Dance of Dragons - Again I can clearly picture the scene in Daznak’s Pit when this is played. From Drogon’s entrance to Dany hopping on his back and flying away. Of course it helps that the scene itself is excellent. 3. Blood of the Dragon - That’s right - I’ve got two Dany tracks on this season’s list, partly to make up for its absense in S4, and partly because I love it. In fact S4 is the only soundtrack to not have a Dany theme that I love. It’s now I’m realising that 4/6 of my lists have the theme which was featured on the Blu-Ray menu. Whoever picks those does a great job. Season 6This season’s is undoubtedly my favourite soundtrack, since there’s so many I love and it’s incredibly difficult to choose just 3. Since everyone’s obvious top pick is Light of the Seven, I’ll choose my second, third and fourth favourites to add a little more variety. 2. The Winds of Winter - As evidenced by my choice of The Wars to Come, I love it when Djawadi combines themes. And as Diablotion said, merging Dany’s theme and the Greyjoy theme is orgasmic. There’s really no other way to describe it. 3. Winter Has Come - Otherwise known as "King of the North 2.0", this is another one that instantly makes me picture the scene in my mind, and is a large reason why that scene is one of my favourites in the show. 4. Blood of My Blood - It’s as if all of Dany’s themes were put together and this is the result. There’s some Dothraki undertones, the choir reminds me strongly of Mhysa, while the theme towards the end of the episode is very reminiscent of Dance of Dragons. I'll give honourable mentions to Hear Me Roar (another combination: Light of the Seven + Rains) and The Tower (the build-up at the end of this still gives me chills over a year on) Like I said, it’s so for me difficult to choose just 3 without feeling like I'm excluding some other really great ones. Season 71. Truth - This has climbed its way to my second favourite track of the series. The only reason I rank Light of the Seven higher is because that track has the advantage of being 10 minutes long. If that advantage didn’t exist, Truth would be right up there. It’s goddamn flawless. 2. The Lion's Legacy - There were two excellent renditions of the Rains of Castamere this season. I chose this one over The Queen’s Justice because it’s ever so slightly longer and plays over that great shot of Jaime and his posse marching to Highgarden. 3. Dragonstone - An example of how my opinion of an episode can be lifted drastically thanks to the score. Hats off to Djawadi for finding another way to write Dany’s theme. I was very tempted to include Against All Odds but it’s really only the ~60 seconds where Dany flies in and her and Jon’s them starts playing. If that bit was isolated from the rest of the battle music, it may have beaten out Truth.

Barring the obvious choice of Light of the Seven, I think the haunting take on the Lord of Light's theme used for Shireen's burning is the best thing Ramin's done.
I know a lot of people hate the scene for various reasons, but the music is just as emotionally devastating as it needed to be to complement the awful thing that was happening. It's incredibly evocative and easily the most emotional piece he's done. Rips me to shreds every time, with no visual needed.

I have a playlist on my phone titled "Got Favourites", which includes the following tracks:
Goodbye Brother Love In the Eyes When the Sun Rises in the West King of the North Fire and Blood Jon's Honor Finale Mother of Dragons The Children The Real North Mereen Blood of the Dragon I am Hers, She is Mine Mhysa The Children Dance of Dragons Light of the Seven Blood of My Blood My Watch Has Ended Winter Has Come I Need You by My Side Reign The Tower The Winds of Winter
It's very Daenerys/Dragon-centric, although I'm also pretty partial to the Stark theme.
I haven't updated it yet with S7, but will probably end up including Dragonstone, Gorgeous Beasts, Home, See You for What You Are, Truth and Winter Is Here

Ah that's the worst part about me not liking a scene; I don't watch it enough to really appreciate Djawadi's music.

I'll add this here as well. It's an analysis of the radio version of "Turth" that Ramin created last winter. The video is in Spanish but I've translated it into English. Translation under the tags. 0:31 Since this appeared about Ramin Djawadi’s appearance in KCRW many of you have asked that I do an analysis of his composition and I think it gives us some important information regarding season 8. If we look back at the theme of “Truth” which appeared in season 7 of Game if Thrones, it was built in phases, just like the romance Jon and Daenerys. This theme became viral and contributed to Ramin’s Djawadi getting a Grammy nomination. By the way Ramin (mumbles something) the nomination.
1:00 The truth is that this composition as well as Jon and Daenerys’ romance gives us pause as to how it [their relationship] will affect the war against the Wight Walkers. Especially if when we were to examine the past romances of the series. However, the question I was asked the most when I analyzed and explored the theme was if it sounded too dramatic or if things would end badly because of the tone of the song because it was to sad or melancholy. Honestly, I’ve never felt it to have a tinge of sadness, it was simply romanticist. No theme in the series has happy sound to it, exactly.
1:28 This takes us to the second question, well, what is so special about Ramin Djawadi’s radio version of the song. Simple, not only does it turn the [original] composition of the song upside down and add bits of other themes, it also gives us some serious spoilers for season 8. I repeat, this is a theory, based on music analysis, but it’s well grounded.
1:46 However, we need to review past materials. The theme of “Truth” fussed together the romantic themes of Jon and Ygritte and Dany and Drogo. The composition did this because Jon like Daenerys had not fallen in love again since those two previous romances. Thus, the theme established a point of melancholy in the use of its influences. Additionally, the theme includes a third part, that would be considered their actual theme, which is not influenced by anything else. Therefore, the last thing we had in the series of this theme was this:
[Plays soundtrack version of a Truth.]
2:10 -First Part of the theme (Dany and Drogo)-
2:20 -Second Part of the theme. (Jon and Ygritte)-
2:30 -Third Part of the theme (both themes combined)-
2:40 -Fourth Part of the theme (their own theme)-
3:08 -Fifth Part of the theme (final crescendo)
3:35 Well, after the final look on Tyrion’s face and the Jonerys haters many asked themselves, is this [romance] the right thing? Will this turn out well? Will love be the death of duty once again? Well, I’ve already done a video explaining why Jon and Dany’s theme is unlike any other themes/ It’s because it makes use of the cello, in a way in which the other romantic themes of the series never do, and because both represent fire and ice, A Song of Ice and Fire, like the original title of the series of novels in which the show Game of Thrones s based on.
4:00 Additionally, throughout the series these two words are referenced together. This is [the reason] why I believe this is the definitive romance of the series. And Ramin Djawadi makes this even clearer with his interpretation [of the song during his appearance] at KCRW. The filming of the 8th season of Game of Thrones began on October 2017. So, by then all the cast and crew should have had access to the script for season 8. This tells us that by that time Ramin Djawadi’s obtained a copy of the script by that time and began working on the soundtrack for the season 8.
4:29 So, by now he should have made good progress. This interpretation of “Truth” [that appears] in the US radio station was prompted by Ramin Djawadi’s snd his trusted team of musicians on the 13 of December of 2017, two months after the start of filing of season 8. So, what this Ramin do, this is a theory, he presented the world with what the version of “Truth” will be during season 8.
4:51 Let me tell you all, it disappoints me. Not as a composition, Ramin Djawadi’s is a genius, and all his compositions are a pleasure to listen to. I’m disappointed me from discussion level. You all know that I’m pro Jonerys and all that but my preferred endings for Game of Thrones were Littlefinger or the Wight Walkers on the throne. Why, what can I say, I love chaos.
5:10 Seriously, Game of Thrones is not a Disney movie where everything will end well, as we’ve seen in multiple instances.
[Montage of GoT deaths]
5:34 But no, George RR Martin has talked about the ending of a Game of Thrones on many occasions and has said that the ending will be bittersweet like the ending of Lord of the Rings.
[Interview with GRRM]
6:04 This sounds familiar to me…
[Scenes from the end of LotR “The Return of the King]
6:07 -King’s Landing-
6:14 -Jon-
6:19 -Daenerys-
6:25 -This is a bittersweet ending? -
6:45 The Lord of the Rings, as a trilogy is the best thing that has been made in the history of cinema and no one doubts it, but it has a happy ending. Despite Frodo and Gandalf’s departure, which could make it a bittersweet ending, the rest end up happy as clams. Will the same thing happen on Game of Thrones?
7:00 Well, let’s analyze the version of “Truth” the Ramin Djawadi plays on KRCW which will be [the version] that will appear in season 8. The las evolution of Jon and Daenerys theme.
7:10 Many have said [asked] if the fact that there is a vocalist means anything, as the royal themes of Game of Thrones usually use vocal. To clear this up, no. In the final version of “Truth” there will not be any vocals and if Ramin introduced vocals here it’s because the singer is a trusted collaborator who accompanies him to all the concerts and sings many themes that don’t have vocals. For example, the main theme.
[Shows video of the main theme with vocals]
7:38 Unlike in the series, where he uses an orchestra, in this version Ramin uses a piano to substitute the violins and this is an important detail. As I’ve already explained what the instruments mean to the composer. Ramin wouldn’t have had any issues bringing 3 or 4 violins to the radio recoding but instead he chose to bring a piano because it was more comfortable, and this means the violins won’t important to the final version of “Truth”.
8:01 What does this tell us? Total freedom for the cello which eliminates the conflict between love and duty that had us so worried. For which the last evolution of “Truth” proposes a pure love, without worries about duty or anything else, simply love. Let’s look at how the cello ends in the first part of the theme.
[Cello being played]
8:28 Contrary to how it ends in the original theme, this [version] ends in a major note. If we remember, the original theme ended in a minor note because we see Tyrion preoccupied.
[Plays scene showing Tyrion preoccupied]
8:42 Once again, we eliminate another problem. And now, another part of the theme begins with an accelerated tempo, contrary/ strangely different to the originally theme, which had opted for a, let’s say, more bittersweet sound and over major chords. Perhaps this is foreshadowing something, I don’t was to give spoilers, but this sounds to me to be like...
9:03 [Plays that section of “Truth”]
-Preparations for an event? –
[Scenes from the coronation in “The Return of the King]
9:26 Now we get into the special part of the song, the theme of Game of Thrones. We’ve already studied this theme thoroughly and it’s clear it represents power, it represents victory. But why introduce the opening theme of Game of Thrones in a romantic theme song? Because it’s [the romance] the one destined to happen, it’s the one that represents the Song of Ice and Fire. It’s the culmination [where it has brought us] after so many seasons. The victory over the Wight Walkers represented in Jon and Daenerys.
9:52 [Plays section in “Truth” where the main theme plays]
-“Truth” movement major + the theme of Game of Thrones [played] in an acceding scale-
[Scenes from the coronation in “The Return of the King]
10:10 Once again, there is a pause over sharp chords, which can represent something else ...
10:18 [Continues to play music]
-This melody so soft and playful in Doric mode could be in reference to the son or daughter of Jon and Daenerys-
10:32 The theme begins to grow, once again over major chords, joined by once again the theme of Game of Thrones is added and song ends in a climax that combines both compositions.
10:40 [Continues to play music]
-Will this be the theme that plays during Jon and Daenerys coronation? –
11:08 -I BET YOU AMYTHING YOU WANT-
11:56 I am one hundred percent sure that this is the theme that will play during Jon and Daenerys coronation after their victory over the Wight Walkers. This composition is revealing to us the ending of Game of Thrones. Truthfully, I really didn’t want it to end this way, but seeing the evidences and the proofs that the music gives us, which are many as we’ve already seen, I think it’s pretty clear what this means. I repeat, this is a theory, but well-grounded and not conjured from thin air. I’ve based this on proof and sources that you all can easily corroborate but in the end it’s still a theory. There is still a long way to go until 2019 and the last result of the composition of “Truth” but we have a clue of what it will be.
12:34 I hope you’ve liked this.
