Intro is the A side to the outro's B side.

Some of the incidental music is ace too.

I hate every intro that's more than 10 seconds. Should be quick and simple, like curb your enthusiasm's.

On the 80s theme, I really liked the titles to Ashes To Ashes. Looking at the other videos already posted, you can see the influences.

Not that the show itself was all that amazing, but this one is just so evocative of time & place for me. One of the earliest pieces I ever learned on lecky guitar, with a BOSS (very apt company name

) multi-effects pedal from Argos.

Times, eh

Some massive ones that've been overlooked so far, or else no one wants to be the one to mention:

Totally, grabbed the 1st one I found Call me mr. Sloth, will do a bit better next time

No worries mate - I do have a dislike of the actor Barry van Dyke, in that he ruined Battlestar Galactica (80), then ruined Airwolf, and worst of all, he ruined Diagnosis Murder

I do look forward to the day he appears at Old Trafford, so he can continue his fine run of form and can ruin them too

Brilliant - and another i remember from my childhod was Six Million Dollar Man - the theme tune lasted for about 15 seconds!

Also Tour of Duty with "Paint it black"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z6fcd--354

Plus all the usual suspects such as Miami Vice, Airwolf, Grange Hill was a classic as well.

He did not destroy Galactica 1980. The super scouts and the cretins they hired as writers did that.

Larry Olivier and Richard Burton could not have rescued that turkey.
