Alien Nation
Space 1999
Space Above & Beyond
Thunderbirds
Dr Who 1st era (the new theme is much better)
wow....that was fun to go listen to all those. Noticed two things: (1) voiceovers ruin a lot of good themes and (2) I tend to favor the themes for shows I've been addicted to watched in the past. Although I really liked a couple of themes - Red Dwarf comes to mind - for shows I haven't seen. And I quite like the X-Files theme even though I wasn't a huge fan of that show.
GREAT idea for a tournament.
My picks right now are BSG:TNS, Farscape, SG-1, Angel, Babylon 5 (3), XFiles and DS9
In some cases, yeah the voice-overs ruined it. I really didn't like Farscape (1) and season 3's was quite a bit better but i still wasn't thrilled, but i liked Babylon 5. They made good use of it. As for Alien Nation, that voice-over actually made me want to watch the show..
I listened to all the themes and had some pleasant suprises, but before I vote I've got a question.
There are 2 versions of the Space 1999 theme on the mythemes site and 1 of them I like a whole lot better than the over (as in 1 will be in my 1st group to vote off - and no you didn't get to know which ). So for Ptah and/or those who nominated it - which one are we supposed to use.
Also I don't think we should be using the links for Angel and X-Files. Those are extended album versions not the version from the show. The show versions are on http://mythemes.tv/

The first opening sequence listed (chronologically), which is why when Classic Who got voted for, the first doctor's theme was used.
I have also edited the list to remove the Angel and X-Files links
Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

This is a lot of fun. Got a whole evening of entertainment out of it, Started with my spouse giving opinions, then a trivia game of "guess that tune" with all the other TV shows.
Overall, there are themes which are good as music and others that have a great science fiction feel to them. The Dr.Who theme has that SciFi feel to it. From a musical standpoint, the Trek themes are hard to beat. Voyager is my personal favorite of the whole list of "musical" themes. And being a big acoustic music fan, I love the Firefly theme.
We should really try not to turn this into a parallel vote to the best shows vote, but the emotional connections do play a part.
Quantum Leap - I just dont like it
Babylon 5 (1) - I love 3 and 5, but 1 is a bit so-so.
Alien Nation
Battlestar Gallactica: TOS - Dont like it.
Doctor Who: The Origional Series - The First Doctor's era (too clunky compared to later themes)
