If we’re doing anime then AoT has probably the greatest series of opening themes of any show.
This one was a pretty jarring change, given that previous seasons were mostly some type of symphonic rock, but it grows on you and is now probably my favorite:
Something from my youth:
Cant find an english version to this, maybe it just sounds good in the german version:
So I was watching this with my nephew. I said
“Hey this is a remake of a series when I was your age.”
Little shit without missing a beat said
“Oh, was it in black and white?”
Going to be controversial here: I never loved the Sopranos theme.
What are your feelings on perfectly cooked ribeye?
Columbo doesn’t really fit in this thread because it doesn’t have a consistent theme song. But it does have some pretty good music.
c’mon people
I could do this all day, but this will do for now.
This one goes so unnecessarily hard. It’s fantastic.
No chance it passes the Bechdel Test tho
When I posted “Cheers” I felt pretty good that it was the GOAT. I still think it’s very strong and could go deep, but there are so many good ones.
I think it’s impossible to judge the songs separately from the shows, the opening sequences, and how they’re all connected emotionally. Early on I posted then deleted M.A.S.H. because after listening to it I felt that it only resonated because of the show and the movie but could not stand on its own.
also since there are so many sports themes posted
There is indeed a vast sea of good ones, but 1. Cheers is still correct.
It’s amazing how quickly this goes from “Iconic songs I can hum along to” to “This sounds like a 2004 Bengals/Texans game from Week 15”
It’s definitely going to be close in some instances, but Cheers just nails it in so many ways.
Is the spreadsheet a work in progress or stopped at 64?
This a legit great thread, y’all
I played the Hill Street Blues theme in a piano recital when I was a kid (as opposed to all those adult piano recitals). Also played the Charlie Brown theme and Axel F. Guess I liked TV/movie music.
Come to think of it, one of the first pieces of sheet music I played was My Life by Billy Joel, but at the time, I only knew it as the theme song from Bosom Buddies (my uncle’s brother produced a lot of shows that had banger theme songs, apparently).
OK and now for some of my least favorite theme songs
The original Charles in Charge theme song was a little faster. I remember really liking it.
