Amidst the chorus of people saying that TV is better than it’s ever been, you’ll always find one person lamenting the decline of the theme song. While it’s true that the days of minutes-long intros with original songs and catchy melodies might be in the past, there’s no denying that shows are still finding memorable (and in a few cases, iconic) ways to open each episode.

Howard Shore has provided scores for over 50 films throughout his career to date, including numerous collaborations with David Cronenberg and The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy. Below are what I consider to be some of his finest scores to date...
