Themesong appreciation thread
« on: May 16, 2008, 11:14:28 AM »
**I'm modifying this thread for the sake of broader appeal.

What are some themesongs to radio or tv shows that you like? maybe there aren't any. I really love the intro song to Sinners Crossroads. Sometimes I just start the show to hear it. Go Sinners!

I have always liked the theme from Barney Miller.  And after hearing the theme song from Neon Genesis Evangelion a million times, I think I like it now.  The extended Sonny Sharrock Space Ghost C2C theme is pretty cool.

What about dvd menu music?  The remix of Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law theme that played over the season 2 dvd menu is cool.  And I let the music for the Sealab 2021 Season 2's menu run for hours one day.  Adult Swim shows tend to have cool musics.

The WKRP in Cincinnati theme is amazing. Also the closing song.

Not to take anything from the amazing song contest winners, but I wish that would be brought back in some way.

most of my favorites are instrumental, like the themes to angel and house.

but there's a special place in my heart for growing pains. show me that smile again.

First thing that came to mind, I'll probably think of more later.

Possible worst theme:  Battlestar Galactica.  New Age/wailing woman annoyingness.

I kind of like that one. Plus, when the drums come in, you know to shut your eyes so you don't see the scenes from the upcoming episode that they stupidly show during the opening.

I second that vote on the closing song. Yes, the battlestar theme is terrible. But even worse was the version of All Along the Watchtower that closed last season. Uggghhhh. (and I love that show!)
