What are your favourite music themes of any TV programmes or Movies you have watched or heard of? If possible, mention the name of the artist too.


My favs:

'Beverley Hills Cop' theme - by AxelF
'Mutiny on the Bounty' - by Vangelis
'Blade Runner' - by Vangelis

What would I choose first but...

Lexx
Opening Theme: Season 2 - Version 2
(composed by Marty Simon)

I don't know the artists of these, but to betray my age with some older ones...

Miami Vice (Jan Hammer, I think)
Magnum P.I.
Simon & Simon

And things more recent...

Enterprise (the first season, pre-banjo version :mad: )
Smallville (Remy Zero ~ Save Me)
Miss Match (Macy Gray)

And my favorite entire soundtracks...
[list=1][*]Lexx: The Series (Original TV Soundtrack)[*]Farscape: Music from the Original Soundtrack[*]Heavy Metal (OST)[*]The Fifth Element (OST)[*]Cirque du Soleil: Mystère (Live in Las Vegas)[/list=1]...the last one's not a TV or movie soundtrack, but a soundtrack of the greatest live performance I've ever seen: Cirque du Soleil's Mystère, which I saw in Las Vegas in 1996.

Dr Who - by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

It's recognised as a classic, appears on several compilations.

Shaft - Isaac Hayes...it hasn't been bettered.

the theme songs to "darkwing duck", "bananaman" and "the A team" rule :D

'When Eric eats a Banana, Eric is...... BANANAMAN!!!!'

I agree zootm, no contest.:)

But, then there was:

The Mysterious Cities of Gold
Dogtanian & the 3 Muskehounds

and the best of all.....

She-Ra

:)

I liked the intro theme for the short-lived TV show "Weird Science" on USA (the cable channel). I've also heard the original version from the movie and it's not as good.

dangermouse and futurama (the "full" version) ain't bad either...

Roobard and Custard, available here for the uneducated :D

Best sung (shouted) after about 8 or 9 pints of lager at 3am in the morning :D

:up:
Got to do your bit.:)

Still, Grange Hill ranks as one of my faves. The signature tune of my early teens...

Mrs McLusky was :9

Does no one remember Queens "Princes of the Universe" from the Highlander TV series?

The Batman and Spiderman themes by Danny Elfman.

I liked the bass guitar "funk" music bits from Seinfeld... :D

Anyone heard of the opening and closing themes of the popular Discovery Channel series 'Beyond 2000'?

I know it's old, but I'd like to know the artist who composed them.

One I forgot to mention...

Third Watch (The Crystal Method ~ Keep Hope Alive)

so true! i forgot to mention roobarb and custard :D

EH EH EH EH. EH EH EH EH. EH EH-EH EH-EEEEEEEEEHHHHH

zootm - do you remember Button Moon?

Mike Oldfield - Tubular bells

(It's the EXORCIST theme, I even composed it as a ringtone for my cellphone - never used it though since ringtones are annoying - I love that tune, it's simple yet awesome :up: )

Mia:)

I bow down to the smiley god.

Yes master, I will do your bidding..... Don't look into his eyes!

Alright the smiley made me laugh...and obey as you can see...

Now this isn't really just a tune but when I think of movie music I absolutely have to mention Pink Floyd - The Wall...a masterpiece, what need I say more?

Mia:)

The Wall is an absolute classic (but I would say that)... Most of it was filmed 8 miles from where I live.:)

My favorite TV theme songs:
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
King of the Hill

The Wall is the l33test album....:up: Mia has good taste;)
