Favorite Mike Post theme song

[Morpheus 02]

Maybe, fter getting the top 5 from this poll, add a few of the mentioned missing themes, and then run the poll again...that can helpnarrow it down.

Also, at that point, is there a legal place where we can hear each theme? A few of those i have forgotten, or never heard...

 

[Holdfast]

I'm sure YouTube has most of them.

 

[Michael]

Law & Order, most definitely. But "Everything this guy does is awesome!" works for me, too.

 

[TGTheodore]

A lot of great themes. Probably Rockford and Magnum would be near the top of my list.

I always rather liked the Greatest American Hero theme -- which as far as I know is the only theme on this list that actually qualifies as a "song." You can't call something a song unless there's a human voice singing it. The others are simply main title themes.

And doesn't Pete Carpenter, Post's collaborator on most of his '80s TV work, get any recognition?

Hardcastle and McCormack was sung.

I like most of those themes, but one of my favorites is Stingray http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FNEvOIeAjY&feature=related

Why wasn't Tales of the Gold Monkey on the poll? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdFN6agkNnQ

 

[Winged Victory]

Law & Order, most definitely. But "Everything this guy does is awesome!" works for me, too.

QFT! It's like choosing which child you love the most...but I'd have to go with Law and Order, too. It's a classic and still going strong.

The A-Team, followed closely by Doogie Howser MD, then Greatest American Hero, Quantum Leap and Law & Order.

Greatest American Hero

I even have the 45 of it!

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Law & Order.

The version that they used starting with the 4th season, that is. For the first three seasons, a different mix was used, which was too long and didn't have enough bass.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

We'll have to agree to disagree there. I like the original better (I think it goes better with the credit montage as well).

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I like the original better (I think it goes better with the credit montage as well).

Well they did change the montage at the same time they changed the song.... so the original mix couldn't go with the new montage, and vice versa.

I like the original longer version too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVL0GBunw0A

I voted LA Law, but there are several that I like on the poll.

 

[The Borgified Corpse]

I always rather liked the Greatest American Hero theme -- which as far as I know is the only theme on this list that actually qualifies as a "song." You can't call something a song unless there's a human voice singing it. The others are simply main title themes.

The Blossom theme song was also sung.

I voted for Doogie Howser M.D. (I love the SNL sketch where Neil Patrick Harris was hosting and he plays the Doogie Howser theme on a keyboard.)

2nd place goes to Law & Order. 3rd place to The Rockford Files.
