I still miss a few songs. I must say that it requires a good search to find all the songs to listen and to vote on within the pages of this thread. As soon as I can, I go to mathman's playlist to listen to the ones I miss.

and the dance goes on:
-- Cowboy BeBop. Very captivating song, which uses all the tricks to seduce. I would say "ruffiana" miusic in Italian: how does it translate? Raff help me! "Pimp" I'm afraid it's not good. It is really music that wants to overwhelm you, and if I did the snob I would say that it is exaggerated and almost vulgar in its ease. However, given that here I consider above all what I like, this "pimp" music struck me: candidate for the podium. -- I had never listened with attention to the music of the serie La Piovra. It may seem strange but as an Italian as I am I have never seen a single film of La Piovra and the actor Michele Placido has always been unpleasant to me, as indeed to many Italians. He is a very questionable person, but I must say one thing: when he started to make the film director, he churned out some absolute masterpieces of Italian cinema, among other things on serious or political themes, especially of social relevance, and therefore I carry some of his films in my heart, even though the person seems slimy. Anyway, good music but not enough good to reach the podium. -- Verano Azul: never heard this music. Reminds me of Chabrier's classical music. This too is brazenly "ruffian" music, which wants to please, which wants to seduce with carefree atmospheres. But musically it does not have the character and appeal of Cowboy BeBop. |

Glad to hear you liked the Iris Dement track (I guess I've been spelling her name all wrong). You will get a big laugh out of this track where she guests with John Prine (RIP as he just died recently from the damn Covid-19, another huge loss). Cover up your monitors everyone as this one should have Micky spewing beer everywhere. Edited by TCat - July 18 2020 at 18:08 |

Ok, here's to you my impressions:
-- Daktari: never heard this theme. very funny; rhythmically the music is more complex than it seems and perhaps it is a mix of various rhythms. But it will not go on the podium. -- Twin Peaks. I remember that theme song and also the tv serie. The music is hypnotic, it is based on a few chords, and the slowness makes the notes even easier to remember. Especially beautiful is the piece in which it rises in tone. Ambient music. But it's a little too repetitive to get on the podium. -- Rote Erde: I had never heard this music. As often happens, Christian once again put on a piece that I like very much. I was sure he would have chosen an instrumental piece, and here the music rises a lot of quality and pathos when the harmonica arrives, up to a thriller crescendo, with increasingly threatening sounds. Podium candidate. -- Matador: classical piano music, and relaxing, nice. -- Lucidity Gone: I had never heard even this song. The beginning is slow and very ambient music style, and the rest also confirms it, although there is an interesting progression. I don't like electronic sound (especially percussion) but the composition is very good, as often happens with Greg's songs. Will it be enough to reach the podium? -- Boardwalk Empire: the theme with Steve Buscemi already sets me up very well. Excellent crescendo and very incisive arrangement, almost pompous but manages not to fall into the bombastic. As always with Mike, the sound and the arrangement are very shiny, bordering on kitsch, but I like kitsch. Another candidate on the podium. to be continued Edited by jamesbaldwin - July 18 2020 at 17:37 |

having already done comments I'll just rank them
Mike - the Iris Dement song would have taken the number 3 vote if selected. I really really liked that.. but not a bad selection anyway.. the Boardwalk Empire one came out as #5 and perhaps suffered a bit of a place or two deduction from one being of the few I knew prior to the poll #4 was Matador.. again.. next time man.. cats.. not dogs...and if not cats.. then cross eyed lions. 1 slot deduction #6 was Verano Azul #7 was The Leftovers #8 BoJacks Theme 9) La Piovra 10) Twin Peaks Theme 11) Hawaii 5-0 ... top 5'r alltime but I'd probably heard it more than a few times haha 12) Cowboy Bebop 13) It's A Jungle Out There and last and least 14) Black Hand..

How did I ever forget to put this one up? It's also one of my favorites, and I do love how they adapt popular music, I also noticed they adapted Radiohead along the way too.

You are right, it was hard for me to decide which one to go with. My personal favorite is the entire soundtrack of Perpetual Grace which is all done by The Jones Sisters (the entire album is excellent), but in the end, I decided to go with Boardwalk Empire because it was the best for bringing about the atmosphere of the series. I love all of them for different reasons.

Happily! these are fun times!  
nice way to say it! 
You don't have to push me that hard.. I'll happily change it and die on that hill. You're right it adds to the variety of the suggestions. Go for it. I didn't know it.. but the music is from Basque composer, Carmelo Bernaola:  Edited by Machinemessiah - July 18 2020 at 14:11 |

I love lots of anime. Death Note may be my very favourite animated TV series (nah, it is my favourite, I have only watched it in Japanese with English subs). I love that show. This could have been my choice (so many I love that I didn't want to mention them all). It has a Tubular Bells-like theme: And this: The whole soundtrack and show I love! By the way, there is so much great TV of the last 20 years. With streaming there's more variety out there than ever. I like my big-screen, I like having various streaming subscription services, and there is so much to watch just off your Laptop or iPad. And one can get a wide variety from around the world. I don;t think of TV as a lesser art form to feature cinema. And TV/ streaming shows attracts great writers and directors. I think those who would poo poo it are generally very ignorant. Like with film, like with music, like with novels, there is huge variety for different tastes from around the world of different quality and qualities. Like with other media forms, some is more commercial and will have a wider mainstream appeal than others. P.S. I thought the Netflix movie version of Death Note sucked.

Speaking for myself, I love cartoons. I probably learned about classical music and opera through Bugs Bunny. "Kill the wabbit!" |
