Game of Thrones is not just inspiring fan art. Fans have created opening theme covers that span genres and tastes, so that there is a Game of Thrones theme for everyone. HBO has a Game of Thrones theme mash-up, and I’ve compiled a list of the very best. Some of them even have free download links! Do you have favorites, or a theme cover of your own? Post them in the comments!

Everybody has such great additions to the list! I’d love to see a “country” version too.
What a fun idea for an article, I really enjoyed this! It also made me think of a fan art piece that I wrote a while back, as so many artists and musicians have been inspired by this series and/or the book series. https://hbowatch.com/game-of-thrones-creating-fan-art-and-collectibles/
How is this not on here?

The National’s “The Rains of Castamere” is pretty awesome. It ran as the closing song for “Blackwater.” A-maz-ing.

Really hard but I’m getting there.
Great post. My personal favorite has to be the White Noise Lab version. I remember how awestruck I was when it was uploaded, I grabbed my guitar and got ready to play along…only to realize that I’d have to detune my guitar in order to play it, so my little musical adventure never happened. There’s a behind the scenes video too, and it’s clear that he put a tremendous amount of work into recording it!
