I was thinking of making an X-Files Appreciation Thread since it's my all time favorite show. Love the theme song.

That Game of Thrones one was pretty boring musically to be honest.
I'm pretty partial to the Battlestar Galactica one (post 1st season), the Deadwood one and the Farscape one. Probably more I'll think of later.

Thread asks for best opening theme music, not best musical interpretation of said music by random fan. The theme music seems boring to me, despite how cool the visuals are or how good the show might be (need to see it still).

Not to be predictable or anything, but in the UK, I think it's generally accepted to be this spooky bugger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J_3rsEwYVE
That haunting piece, in its various forms, has sent children scuttling behind the sofa for a good fifty years now, and it's still one of the best on TV, and certainly the most recognisable tune on British screens. That's a roaring success through and through.
I've got a really odd favourite theme song, though. It's only ever used in the first episode of each series of its programme, and it's way less iconic than the show's regular theme (which is incredibly well known), but to me, it's one of the most exciting tracks in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7BBV2y0ipQ
Wasn't even composed for the show. It's a piece called "The Fury of Schmidt," by Rolfe Kent - no, me neither. Originally from a film called About Schmidt, but it's an absolute masterstroke in song selection. Sets the tone perfectly - classy enough (and much classier than its US counterpart), but there's a little bit of pomp, and just as much mischief. Definite favourite.

The A-Team
My first thought was The A-Team, made all the more awesome by the 'In 1972 a crack commando unit..." intro. And yes, shows from the 80s had some great theme songs. But I gotta say, I find them annoying now. Especially when a show starts, you get a minute's worth of action and/or humor, then the theme song you've heard a thousand times, then commercials. Very annoying.

Well, were we gonna sit here and gush over one or two songs? Besides, all the ones I listed I liked, and I watched many more than those...

My favorite TV opening theme ever has to be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU7w-1L8nJA
:metal :metal
If only the show it was the opening for wasn't terrible :sadpanda:
And, not an opening, but imo the best song ever used as an opening or ending theme of a show is the ending theme of Bakemonogatari, Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari. Not that it's the best musically, but it works the best for the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba6LXH0xDoM
I could really go on all day about awesome anime theme songs, but noone would care :lol
