Was having a chat with my daughters other half yesterday. He has been working on the new Thunderbirds TV series out in NZ, but doesn't know whether the old theme tune will be used/re-hashed.
Back in the 70s there were some damned good Theme Tunes/Opening Titles. Some I would consider quite iconic. So what are your favourites?

In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

Yes, the original version still sounds the most modern and radical:

+1 for most of the above, especially Hawaii Five-0 and Thunderbirds (a travesty if they don't use it this time!).
