I frequent many sites looking for music news and found a great site- www.pastemagazine.com. They are running a feature called "The 40 Best TV Theme Songs of All Time" and I think it will be a fun feature for us to explore. That said, let's explore what made their Top Ten:
10. The Olympic Games on NBC - "Olympic Fanfare and Theme" by John Williams
Better than Charles Fox' Monday Night Football theme music. Better than the intro to Wide World of Sports. This piece originally composed by Williams for the 1984 Games in Los Angeles has been the heart of NBC's Olympic coverage ever since. His NBC Nightly News score is pretty great, too.
Rather an odd pick in my opinion, but nonetheless, it comes in at number 10. We will look at #9 tommorrow!
