What's your top 5?

Mine (in no particular order):

1) Doctor Who (the original one)
2) The Body In Question (it's called The Greenwich Chorus)
3) Blakes 7 (especially those two chords at the end!)
4) World In Action (Nantucket Sleighride by Mountain)
5) Belle And Sebastien (haunting pretty song - major tear-jerker too)

//The Persuaders theme was fantastic - very dramatic, I've made a cover version of it. //

I agree Answerprancer - something about it that is difficult to explain - I could listen to it day in day out

What's this cover version you have made - what do you mean ?

Hi Berti - yes, it's partly because it's a slow 3/4 which can often be dramatic, but it also has that "Italian" sound. I've re-created it with keyboards and software - same melody/tempo, one or two harmonic additions and slightly heavier drum sounds.

Airwolf

Rainbow

I see Hawaii five O is listed

I remember being on holiday where people sat on the floor pretending they were in one of those hawaiian boats - doing the rowing movement , while the music played

What was all that about

[Answerprancer]

Sounds like a 'conformity ritual' to me - a bit like that ridiculous thing people do when "oops upside your head" comes on at a party, I usually fix a smile and stand watching from a safe distance while sipping my wine/beer.
