The Best 80's Themetune!

[Creativemind]

Hi!

Welcome to my poll.

Simple question - What is your favourite 80's American TV themetune? I left off cartoons.

You may choose 3 options. I've left out cartoons.

Thanks!

Only need one option. Fall Guy all the way.
Best 70s is The Rockford Files.

Errrm, excuse me but what about

May bad, that's from down under.

Best theme song: The Greatest American Hero!

Yeah it is good that. It was on the list but I dropped it and added Little House On the Prairie lol!

Or could have been Cagney & Lacey.

Sorry to say I don't recall any of those. Besides being a 90's kid, my parents told me television was evil and only allowed me to watch nature shows and biblical cartoon shows on tape. Sometimes I was able to watch the news with them which is ironic because that's more evil than a fictional show.

absolutely the best theme song

I like the Night Rider Tune, but it seems that it was inspired by these two tracks. But that's why I first became aware of the sphinx track, which I find even better.

I don't see STTNG. Very sad.

Best 70s is The Rockford Files.

I have listened to a bunch of 60-90s tv themes over the past week in the background.
Rockford Files is pretty cool. I also like Barney Miller from the 70s.
60s Mission impossible
90s The Simpsons

The 80s went downhill in quailty, imo, but I kinda liked Simon and Simon - cowbell! , but I don't see that option here, so I'll go with Miami Vice.

Well I never. Great. It's not just Noel Gallagher that rips stuff off then. Lol!

That's ok but wouldn't put it high on the list. Tell you one I missed off, think it was 80's, makes me feel a bit sad when I hear it but still a great song. The themetune to The Littlest Hobo...

Thanks, this topic reminded me of finding this cover of Tangerine Dream's Le Parc:

Yes his performances are great!

I really like the track (and Tangerine Dream in general).
I covered this one myself (in Reason)


Have to say I'm finding this poll inspiring to trying another cover.
I'd like to do Miami Vice theme, but it is well beyond my skillset. Jan Hammer is a virtuoso synth god both in the performance and sound design!

Do 80s cartoons now!

There was a show called "Starman" and the theme song was great:
