I was joking no ill will intended
Favorite Star Trek theme song
- Thread starter Gabriel
- Start date
Even though I was not a fan of the series I quite liked ENTs theme as sung by Russell Watson! But voting wise it's got to be TOS of course!

All true, so I will write in TMP and choose that.
Since it hadn't been used in any of the subsequent films at the time, I was happy to hear the TMP theme put to good use in TNG.
Jerry Goldmith is great. I also like his Air Force One movie soundtrack..... It also sounds like Star Trek....
The 2009 Star Trek theme. Not on the list.
DS9's theme is my favorite. VOY is a close second.
Both DS9 and VOY themes sound like mood music.
The DS9 theme sets the right mood for me when it comes on during the end credits, especially after an emotional or thought provoking episode.

Do you like the slower or the faster DS9 theme version? I prefer the faster version.
Do you mean that the opening and closing credits use different versions?
No. DS9 had a slower version in the first three or four seasons. Later a faster version.
Though I didn't vote for it, I will defend ENT's theme.
As someone else mentioned, I was also not a fan of DS9's and VOY's themes because I found them unimaginative and dull. The DS9 theme was just unenthusiastic, repetitive fanfare (made even worse when the extra backgrounds were added) and VOY's a vain attempt to do soulful symphony.
One of the things that sold me on watching ENT when it first premiered was the theme, because coming off the other two themes I was actually glad they went against type and used a song instead of trying to outdo Jerry Goldsmith. Granted, it wasn't the song from the promos, which is what they should have used, but still, that was one of the things that made me give the show a chance.
Of course, as with the fact that I like the first two seasons of ENT better than the last two, I am in the vast majority on tthe liking of the theme, and that was one of the few times TPTB listened to the fans...and did the exact same thing to ENT's theme that they shouldn't have done to DS9's: add extraneous tones and nonsense.

I get what you mean now. The faster version sounds better.

I also like ENT's theme song. When I first heard it during ENT's opening credits, it just seemed so weird. What the heck is this, I thought. It didn't seem like I was watching Star Trek.
But after a short while, I grew to really like it. It's a good song in its own right.

DS9 - I love the slow version and Season 4 onward speedup equally
Discovery - Listening to it right now, as a matter of fact
Voyager - gives me chills every time I listen to it

Are you kidding? the TAS theme is literaly like someone singing "Wee can't/license the actual theme!/So we'll/just throw in some noootes!"No love for TAS? I would vote for it over "Faith of the Heart."

While Faith of the Heart is a good song, I prefer Rod Stewart's version.
