Watching the winter olympics and the very memorable, catchy, inspiring anthem... What do you think is the best sports theme song?

 

Used by both ABC and NBC for their coverage of the olympic games. Composed by Leo Arnaud

 

Roundball Rock. Composed by the one and only John Tesh. Used by NBC for for NBA games from 1990 to 2002

 

NFL on Fox. Inspired by Tim Burton's 1989 Batman movie. Composed by Scott Schreer. In 2010 became the default theme for all sports on FOX

 

Instrumental NBC Football theme. Composed by Academy Award winner John Williams.

 

Heavy Action. ABC and ESPN's Monday Night Football theme music. Composed by Johnny Pearson in 1970! Did not become the official theme song til 1989 on ABC

 

Composed by  NJJ Music and used up until 2010 until it was replaced by the NFL on Fox theme which took over as the theme song for all sports on Fox

 

The theme song used for Canadian Hockey Night from 1968-2008! While most Americans won't be familiar with this one it gets a place on the list for being one of the longest running sports theme songs ever used.

Not even the slightest doubt.

Yes I may be slightly biased..

 

 

 

 

This is the best sport intro song ever

 

Now we can do a best sports stadium song vote... that's a completely different thing. This is for best theme song on television.(ie, recurring song that a particular sport, broadcast, or station uses) I also didn't include the NFL opening theme songs(ie they ones that are sung) because I just wanted the ones that are used for promos, coming into/out of break, etc.

Glad people are voting for something other then the Olympic theme because now that I think about it I think the Olympic theme may have an unfair advantage.

 

It has so many elements in it that I think there are several theme song rolled into one.

 

You have the iconic opening fanfare to the song. That's 1.

Then you have the fast fanfare. That's 2...

Then after that it quickly switches to this slow, melodic theme. That's 3

Then it switches again to this light, airy feeling music. That's 4

Then you go back to this marching type of feel with the iconic fanfare thrown in. That's 5

NFL theme song op

So since Bugler's Dream is like 5 songs rolled into one I am going with it being the OP song.
