What shows do you consider to have great soundtracks?
I'll begin with 'Due South'.
This is the show that introduced me to Loreena McKennitt.

I always thought “The Flash” television series from the early 1990’s had a great soundtrack. Danny Elfman was the composer.

One of my all-time favourite TV shows along with its theme tune by Mike Post.

Just looked back and actually saw the original post (I kind of came into this thread in the middle). I love Loreena and she actually doesn't live that far from me. Not that I am ever likely to meet her, but she's definitely considered a local favorite in SW Ontario.
Mike Post was to TV themes was John Williams is to movie themes. Ever present and always good, whether the series was or not.
I think the eighties-nineties Star Trek shows generally had good music, at least Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. I don't remember anything of Voyager's score beyond the theme, but that theme was a gorgeous piece of music that deserved a better show. It was written by film composer Jerry Goldsmith, who ranks up there with Williams and whose opening title music for Star Trek The Motion Picture was adapted as the theme for Next Generation.

Don't mention Jerry Goldsmith. I love the Ridley Scott film, Legend. For some reason, it was only released in the US with the Tangerine Dream soundtrack. The only version available over here has the Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack which totally kills the atmosphere of the whole film. I am amazed that Ridley Scott prefers the Goldsmith version!

I remember hearing that. I've only seen it with the Tangerine Dream score so can't really comment. There was a good Jon Anderson solo song in it, too, IIRC.
I was not that impressed with Legend overall. I expected better from Scott after loving Alien and Blade Runner. Had some good bits, including the score, but did not sit well with me for some reason (that likely had the initials T. C. 😉). Basically, if it hadn't been for Tim Curry as the villain, I probably would have forgotten it pretty quickly. He pretty much salvaged the movie for me.

If there was no Tangerine Dream soundtrack, the only saving grace would have been Jon Anderson AND Bryan ferry!
And now I discover that David Gilmour is the guitarist on this track. What an awesome level of talent Ridley Scott used!

I had forgotten Ferry was on it, too. And I hadn't know Gilmour was involved either. Usually I can pick him out. His guitar style is very distinctive, even when he's not with Floyd.

Back in the '70s, there was a children's science show on British TV called, 'Don't Ask Me'
The theme, House of the King, was by a Dutch band who became very well known back then, Focus.

Anyone remember The Partridge Family? They sang some great tunes that went on to become huge hits.
