The high school I was covering high school football at last Friday, Richfield (Utah) High School, used it to get the crowd psyched up. It worked out really well!
It's too bad new people will never know. Stuff that was good that became rehashed and relaunched that completely died and became forgotten people made fortunes over.
Was just going to write this. Found this video because I couldn't remember the sport that this theme song was attached to, and sure enough here it is in a top 20 list. Soundtrack of my teens, every weekend afternoon growing up!
It’s good but I don’t think it’s any better than nfl on fox, mlb on fox even the espn college football playoff theme is better and I wasn’t on the list
Whenever I hear the NFL on FOX theme play then watching my Buccaneers jog out just gives me the best vibes ever. With my mom and dad sitting on the couch with snacks on the table and some drinks and get to watch football all day. But ever since I went to college I can't do that anymore and I miss it so much :(
NFL on FOX is a great theme. But it's diluted because FOX uses it in other sports as well. Most themes belong to a single sport that you can identify immediately, like the NBA on NBC... classic.
Number 1 needs to be a song that gets me hyped for whatever I’m about to watch. Nothing gives me that feeling like CBS College Basketball. Every time I listen to it it gets me hyped and excited. That is the number 1 theme on this list
Terrible rankings. The NCAA basketball theme should be at least Top 5. And no, I'm not just saying that because it's March. I look forward to hearing it every year. #1: Olympics #2: NBA on NBC ("Roundball Rock") #3: NCAA basketball (CBS / Turner) #4: Monday Night Football (ABC/ESPN) #5: Sunday Night Football (NBC) #6: NFL on CBS ("First on Field") ... Polka band doing a Metallica cover Someone playing spoons Fingernails on a chalkboard Any of the Fox themes
Great list. The CBS college basketball, Fox MLB, and Fox NHL are particularly nostalgic. They bring back memories of watching Tigers, Red Wings, and Spartan hoops games with my dad.
#10 (NCAA Football on CBS) was introduced as the theme for Super Bowl XXI (Giants/Broncos). Probably still brings a smile to Phil SImms - he was the MVP of that Super Bowl (also the first to say '"I'm going to Disneyland!:")
Good list. I would have ranked # 15,16,17 higher. But it is your objective opinion. My favorite is a toss up between number 5 & 1. Since FOX got lazy and used your number 1for multiple sports; the edge goes to number 5. NBA on NBC.
But I think the theme that gets overlooked and is really good is the College Football on CBS. Especially when they use it for their SEC coverage I'm watching my Georgia Bulldogs, it's amazing. But in all good video.
Great compilation! Rankings are a bit out of order though, here's the true top 5: 5. NBA on TNT 4. NCAA football CBS 3. NFL on Fox 2. MLB on Fox 1. NBA on NBC
Pretty cool. Definitely agree with the top 5. Good to see the Olympic theme make the list. Would like to have seen ABC's Wide World of Sports theme as well. Long time ago.
The Fox NHL Theme ahead of the ESPN one?! Aaaahhh. Maybe it's just because I have so many memories playing NHL 2K5 in my high school physics room back in the day... NCAA on CBS at 17? Whaaaa? C'mon. NHL on VERSUS lol All in all, solid list! :D
@@Ryandupont0896 the ABC BCS Championship theme in particular. Calling one of the most iconic games of all times 2006 Rose Bowl Texas vs USC. The great Keith Jackson on the call
Keegan Bibb NBA on NBC: Michael Jordan MLB on Fox (old): Derek Jeter Olympics: Michael Phelps NFL on Fox: Tom Brady/Peyton Manning/Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees Every new NBA theme: LeBron James NHL (all): Sidney Crosby/Patrick Kane
Dont know if you guys care about golf, but I like the Masters theme song on CBS. Doesnt quite "fit" into this list, but I think its still a great theme.
I have to say that the ESPN College Football Theme from the late 80s and through the 90s and SNF on NBC are the BEST! Fox NFL is in my Top 5 though at Number 3
While not nationally broadcast, the end theme on Home Team Sports for Washington Capitals, Balimore Orioles, and Washington Bullets was hard to beat in the 90's.
Good to hear the MLB on TBS theme in here. Of the many things wrong with how Turner Sports handles its baseball coverage, the music is probably the only *underrated* thing about its productions.
The old fox MLB theme is so underrated
TheIrishPinata98 I know man
My favourite by far!
NHL on NBC always hypes playoff games up, gets the adrenaline rolling
Yep its top 5 fr
Yess
John Maloney yup
Still tho nhl on ESPN is probably better. Even though it got robbed in this list.
Yesss
Agreed, love the NFL on Fox theme, it always gets you pumped for some football.
The high school I was covering high school football at last Friday, Richfield (Utah) High School, used it to get the crowd psyched up. It worked out really well!
Who's your favorite team
sec on cbs will forever stay in my heart. just screams saturdays with the boys, good food, good football and good times
MLB on fox is instant goosebumps. Straight hype for October night baseball 🔥
NBA on NBC is classic.
Diamond Pro 1223 Reminds me of the greatest dynasty in sports history the 90's Chicago Bulls
It's too bad new people will never know. Stuff that was good that became rehashed and relaunched that completely died and became forgotten people made fortunes over.
TANK BOWL!!!
@@wrhiv72 TANK BOWL!!!!! (oh god not another one of these)
@@JH-lu9lx Haha.....guess you never heard of the New York Yankees or Montreal Canadiens.
SEC on CBS is criminally low
Daniel Bye top 5 ez
ringworm9 what should have been top 5 easily was NCAA Tourney on CBS
Absolutely
So is the nhl on espn
@@elakaianela9392 both their NCAA basketball tourney and SEC Football easily top 5 of all times.
nba on nbc by far
Legodoran No doubt, it was legendary
@@nickalfidi3285 NBA on CBS back in the 70's was even better.

It’s good but I don’t think it’s any better than nfl on fox, mlb on fox even the espn college football playoff theme is better and I wasn’t on the list
When it comes to themes CBS is unmatched
Sean Cosgrove fox sports
NBC has entered the chat
@@jafrymaly570 lol
NCAA on CBS
EASILLLLLYYYY
Do you teach at Arvida Mr Burton?
Whenever I hear the NFL on FOX theme play then watching my Buccaneers jog out just gives me the best vibes ever. With my mom and dad sitting on the couch with snacks on the table and some drinks and get to watch football all day. But ever since I went to college I can't do that anymore and I miss it so much :(
But you also have to listen to Joe Buck and Troy Aikman... CBS > FOX
When my Steelers have to play an NFC team I pray it's not on FOX.
@@nahor88 The CBS theme gives me so many memories of the Steelers already being down 14-3 after 5 minutes and somehow bullshitting a win out of it
Hello
16 sounds like something you’d hear in the Star Wars prequels
Nhl on ESPN should've been ranked higher along with nbc ncaa basketball
That old school TNF theme though. But NCAA on CBS will always reign supreme in my mind. Takes me back to watching Gator Games with my dad as a kid
NCAA basketball (CBS) at #17?!?!
Stopped watching right there.
boxbreaker2011 I ALMOST did! I was sooooo close
Same
boxbreaker2011 I almost stopped watching, but because I like sports themes I kept watching. Still this list is horrible, should have been top 5 easily
@@elakaianela9392 same here. Also for me NBA ON TNT only 13???? Their version is way better then the ESPN one of 12. Just my opinion
NCAA is trash that’s why it’s low
Nhl on NBC is my opinion it's really cartchy to me
hell yes it is. The theme of my 2012 AND 2014 LA KINGS. And could of been 93 but your squad was too good.
or the nhl on fox
Nostalgia in one video

No. this list is garbo. CBS Tourney theme at 17?! Gtfo
A variation of #17 is now used for the NCAA tournament since 2011. This theme is still used during the regular season.
Terrible rankings.
The NCAA basketball theme should be at least Top 5. And no, I'm not just saying that because it's March. I look forward to hearing it every year.
#1: Olympics
#2: NBA on NBC ("Roundball Rock")
#3: NCAA basketball (CBS / Turner)
#4: Monday Night Football (ABC/ESPN)
#5: Sunday Night Football (NBC)
#6: NFL on CBS ("First on Field")
...
Polka band doing a Metallica cover
Someone playing spoons
Fingernails on a chalkboard
Any of the Fox themes
Daniel Dougan The Olympics don't happen every year though.
Ihaspwndas there is no super bowl theme. it varies by channel
That should be top 5
Great list. The CBS college basketball, Fox MLB, and Fox NHL are particularly nostalgic. They bring back memories of watching Tigers, Red Wings, and Spartan hoops games with my dad.
NBA on NBC 😭 the memory!
Also NASCAR has a theme for fox and they started using it again.
Why did fox get rid of the baseball theme??
Ian Nielson They still use it on like Fox Sports Southwest
And on the other regionals. But, inexplicably, not on national broadcasts.
FS1 uses 2007 version of the theme
Ian Nielson boneless
Cause they hate baseball
Idiots on Fox getting rid of the amazing mlb themes, replacing it with a cheap nfl knockoff theme.....
Daron Showalter they still use the newer one on FS1 when the Braves play
Daron Showalter both themes are good you ass hat!
But MLB on FOX fit it. NFL's theme doesn't really fit
NFL fox theme is hella amazing. It's perfect for nfl
As of July 25, 2020 the MLB on Fox theme used until 2007 is back
11. Mlb on fox sports brings back childhood nostalgia
#10 (NCAA Football on CBS) was introduced as the theme for Super Bowl XXI (Giants/Broncos). Probably still brings a smile to Phil SImms - he was the MVP of that Super Bowl (also the first to say '"I'm going to Disneyland!:")
This would be an excellent playlist for "Name That Tune" for sports fans!
You missed ESPN Baseball Tonight. That’s a classic!
#3 (Olympics theme for NBC) should be credited to ABC. It was theirs while they had the broadcast rights. NBC just reworked it a little.
It's pretty much been the same forever. I remember it back during the 1960 summer Olympics from Rome, and I think ABC did that one.
Tbh when I heard the Olympics I started dying that was the last thing I expected
Great video!
Good list. I would have ranked # 15,16,17 higher. But it is your objective opinion.
My favorite is a toss up between number 5 & 1. Since FOX got lazy and used your number 1for multiple sports; the edge goes to number 5. NBA on NBC.
NBA on TNT should be higher
SN yeah
It should be extinct
Joshua Holmes found a hockey fan
SN i totally agree. Its been running since 2002. Reminds of the San Antonio Spurs and Lakers runs
I love basketball, I love music this Theme fucking sucks
The order is the hardest part but I believe one key song that wasn't included I'd NASCAR ON FOX 2001-2007
And 2016-
I know golf isn't as popular, but if Summer Olympics theme makes how does the Masters theme not?
Man spittin straight facts.
Because the Olympic theme is a certified BCE classic.
7:30 - Chicago Bulls’ championship theme song
My favorite is the mlb in fox theme from 1996-2007
TNF theme is big time underrated
The chimes 😍
They just give us a bad game every week
NBA on TNT is criminally underrated
But I think the theme that gets overlooked and is really good is the College Football on CBS. Especially when they use it for their SEC coverage I'm watching my Georgia Bulldogs, it's amazing. But in all good video.
Nick Alfidi ruclips.net/video/-M3P_uExHUw/видео.html
This era comes to mind to me.
Great compilation! Rankings are a bit out of order though, here's the true top 5:
5. NBA on TNT
4. NCAA football CBS
3. NFL on Fox
2. MLB on Fox
1. NBA on NBC
Jarrett Pierce not nfl on fox too repetitive
Brodie Martin NHL on NBC should replace one of the fox ones imo
4dod2god agreed as long as #1 stands.
7:30 *TANK BOOOOOWWWWLLLL*
7:01 best theme!
Ivan Axel the one after that.
Joseph Eastmond ur definitely right
NCAA on cbs would like to have a word with you
What the fuck were they thinking getting rid of this?!
@@tigerguy1013 well at least they brought it back this year
Pretty cool. Definitely agree with the top 5. Good to see the Olympic theme make the list. Would like to have seen ABC's Wide World of Sports theme as well. Long time ago.
NHL on ESPN is undefeated.
Let's get this Corona Virus over and back to sports!!
The Fox NHL Theme ahead of the ESPN one?! Aaaahhh. Maybe it's just because I have so many memories playing NHL 2K5 in my high school physics room back in the day...
NCAA on CBS at 17? Whaaaa? C'mon.
NHL on VERSUS lol
All in all, solid list! :D
NBA on TNT will always be the best group and show . Great theme song as well
Australia Channel 9 Cricket Theme. Iconic as , was the sound of summer for 42 years!
I think this person missed ESPN and the College Football theme!
thehulk372 OMG YES. The old espn college game day theme is amazing
@@Ryandupont0896 the ABC BCS Championship theme in particular. Calling one of the most iconic games of all times 2006 Rose Bowl Texas vs USC. The great Keith Jackson on the call
Thanks for compiling this list. My favorites are #19 and #4. But I also like numbers 16, 15, 14, 10, 8, 7, 5, 4 and 1, so I liked most of them!
College basketball on cbs is my all time favorite theme. Easy number 1
How do MNF and NBA on NBC not even get in the TOP 3!!! They are BY FAR the best two themes of all time!
my top 3 is nbc olympics at 3, cbs college football at 2, and MNF at 1
10. CBS NCAA football is basically Alabama's theme song
Except you know every year they have at least one loss during that song. Usually Auburn
Keegan Bibb
NBA on NBC: Michael Jordan
MLB on Fox (old): Derek Jeter
Olympics: Michael Phelps
NFL on Fox: Tom Brady/Peyton Manning/Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees
Every new NBA theme: LeBron James
NHL (all): Sidney Crosby/Patrick Kane
Lmao yes
Gavin Anderson nfl on fox is definitely the Cowboys theme. CBS belongs to Tom and Peyton
Sec on cbs is number one. CBS college hoops and fox sports Mlb are both very underrated here too. Those are the top three to me.
No 16 is straight out of revenge of the sith, prove me wrong
David Gonzalez I believe it is fact a John Williams composition. So, yeah, pretty much!
NFL on CBS (both Posthumus Zone and Granicus/First on Field), NBA on NBC, and NFL on FOX are all instant hype
Excuse me!! Why isn’t the Wii Sports theme song number 1??
In my opinion
Most Memorable: Fox Sports football anthem and March Madness theme
Most Iconic: Hockey Night In Canada on CBC
Most Nostalgic: SEC on CBS
NHL on espn at 19 is disrespectful
NFL Sunday night football, NBA on TNT, NBA espn (playoffs only) theme, and all college football and basketball ones are amazing and NFL on cbs
All of these are underrated and a classic
Something about College Football on CBS theme just hits me in the soul
It IS the soul
Dont know if you guys care about golf, but I like the Masters theme song on CBS. Doesnt quite "fit" into this list, but I think its still a great theme.
My top 5:
1. NBA on NBC
2. NFL on FOX
3. NHL on ESPN
4. MLB on FOX
5. March Madness
I'm a bit more old school I guess, but my all time favorite was the NFL on CBS theme from the late 80s (known as "Pots and Pans" for some reason)
BHoz5477 dude I’m old school too the greatest theme ever is CBS 92-93. That is 1 for me by a mile.
why is nfl on fox the best theme
I have to say that the ESPN College Football Theme from the late 80s and through the 90s and SNF on NBC are the BEST! Fox NFL is in my Top 5 though at Number 3
congrats on 2k
Nhl on espn is returning 😃
How have I never heard NHL on Versus before? That was cool.
#11/6 is my favorite!!! I searched for this video just so i could find it
10:00 I don’t really watch football to much but every time I heard this theme song in my house on a Sunday, I couldn’t help but watch lol.
While not nationally broadcast, the end theme on Home Team Sports for Washington Capitals, Balimore Orioles, and Washington Bullets was hard to beat in the 90's.
I am the only one who thinks that all these themes get me hyped asf? Just the sports fan in me
I love a majority of these! Sucks we have to wait till it starts again!
Hockey Night in Canada???
has anyone ever noticed that NCAA football on CBS is the same as the MS Flight Sim X theme?
In my opinion I would rank the NBA on NBC theme higher than it was
I quit watching this when the NCAA basketball theme was at 17.that is the best theme of all.if not first then top 3
Yeah, definitely one of the best.
#5 need to be higher such a good theme!
#19 is BACK BABY!!!
Now I connect the NFL on Fox theme with baseball 😕
Ian Nielson It's so good it's used for both sports☺
Fox only uses it for baseball in the postseason I think
Nah. It's all year on Fox.
18,17,13,11,10,6,3,2,1 are my favs
NFL on CBS, NBA on NBC and MLB on Fox are my favourites
But the best for me and i love it is College Basketball on CBS
You missed a few. College football on CBS, college basketball march madness theme, and fox sports college football
NBA on NBC, the Olympics, and the Fox Sports Theme
Where are all the great themes from the seventies and eighties? They blow everything away from the last twenty years.
NFL on NBC from 1995-1997 is the greatest them all time. Nothing beats it
1. Olympics
2. NBA on NBC
3. SEC on CBS
4. NFL on CBS
5. NHL on ESPN
You left out NASCAR on FOX (2001-2007), deserves to be in top 3!
NASCAR on NBC is better lol
+Cavy FOX IS BETTER IN ALL SPORTS!
Champions league anthem on Tuesday night hits different
#5 brings up two words in my head: TANK BOWWWLLLLLL!!!
it’s time for another... TANK BOWLLLL!!!!
The 3rd (18th) intro is the best because every time the Kings and Ducks play that's the one you will always hear.
You should try to find even more sports themes and make it a power hour
Good to hear the MLB on TBS theme in here. Of the many things wrong with how Turner Sports handles its baseball coverage, the music is probably the only *underrated* thing about its productions.
The old school NBA on NBC theme is by far the best
NHL on ESPN should be higher
Since it's back
NBA on NBC #5 ?? Hell naw I'm out !! ... 🚶♂️
tank bowl
1 is the best signature theme
