The Thunderbirds theme would have to be in there, perhaps even Fireball XL5.

Doc Who and space 1999 and Trek TOS definately in there also.

[Surfsup]

1. Thunderbirds
2. Dr Who
3. Captain Scarlet
4. Joe 90
5. Space 1999 (1st Season)

[UnderdogDJLSW]

1. Original Battlestar Galactica
2. Star Trek TOS
3. Dr. Who (later versions, but all good)
4. Star Trek Voyager theme (by Jerry Goldsmith, I like the TMP theme but only with the movie, not the TNG version. it sounds abbreviated)
5. Buck Rogers (1980) - just reminds me of being a kid again, not necessarily the musicality of it, but it's nice.

*Doctor Who (which I still believe was stolen by BLONDIE for the bridge music in the song "Call Me"!)

*The Incredible Hulk (c'mon, you know that sad walkin' away music just chokes you up!)

*The X-Files (just screams creepy!)

*Lost in Space (DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!!)

*The Brady Bunch (you DO know they were Pod People, right?)

I frankly can't come up with a better selection than this.. Possibly replace classic Who with Galactica, edging out 'Land of the Giants' Yr2 theme.

I'm assuming the 1999 pick was Year 1 ~ Yr 2 was alright, but slightly 'eurotrashy'.. (..meant in the best way, of course...)

Hmmm,

1. Land of the Giants - season-1

2. Thunderbirds

3. Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea

4. Lost In Space - season-3

5. 1999 - season-1

Note,
I'm ashamed to admit this, but I never was a huge fan of the Trek theme song.
It was ok, ... but not exciting or special, imo

[HardyGirl]

Star Trek (TOS)
Star Trek (TNG)
Land Of The Lost (beginning & ending)
Stingray (ending)
Captain Scarlet (ending w/ lyrics)

I would have to go with

1. Greatest American Hero (maybe not obvious scifi but the suit was from aliens)
2. Dr. Who
3. Mission Impossible
4. Battlestar Galactica - original
5. Robotech (okay it's a cartoon but I still love it)

I like your list (finally after all these years, lol)...but I disagree on the Star Trek one...it's a memorable and influential theme opening.

My favorite without a doubt is Space Battleship Yamato aka Star Blazers...in the original Japanese version...

YouTube - Starblazers Yamato 3 - Japanese Opening



The English version is not too shabby either (but the Japanese version rules more)...

...and the guy who sang it...here he is in front of a live audience...

YouTube - Isao Sasaki: Uchuu Senkan Yamato

I just LOVE that song...it gives me goosebumps every time.
