Title: Best NFL Theme Music
Post by: _33 on September 10, 2024, 02:43:33 PM

Fox and NBC are so strong. CBS and ESPN/MNF are good too though. I've probably heard CBS the most over the years. I can't tell if Prime is trash or if it just has no nostalgia behind it? I don't like it.

If I had to rank them: 1) NBC  2) FOX  3) CBS  4)ESPN/MNF  5) Prime

Fox bothers me honestly cause they basically use the same thing for CFB. So it's too generic for me.

1) NBC, it's great
2) CBS, also great
3) ESPN/ABC, perf for MNF
4) Fox, as stated, overused
5) Prime, just not good

Terrific thread!

Monday night theme is special to me, because I am old.  I also think it sound the most fun.

NBC Sunday night kinda sounds like Olympics music to me.

Monday night music is special, I agree. It's just that the product sucks big time compared to the Al Frank & Dan era.

Yeah MNF is obviously the most recognizable, and that boosts it up, but beyond the nostalgia it just doesn't hit my ear as well as some of the others.

100%

Lots of nostalgia associated with all the other theme songs. The Chiefs around Christmas time and Cowboys on Thanksgiving immediately gives me a bias towards CBS and Fox, but they’re all great and I hope they stay the same (except for Prime which sucks).
