Members Khan Posted July 26, 2008 Members Share Posted July 26, 2008 DAYS and Y&R aren't exactly my all-time favorite shows, but they're certainly my all-time favorite themes. Why? Because, they're still used today. Yes, there was that unfortunate "porn variation" that Y&R employed for awhile back in the '90's, but (thank God) it's dead and buried. Other faves: "As the World Turns On and On" (ATWT) "My Guiding Light" (GL) - the original variation, not the synthesized "remakes" that came after The original (1970-90) theme for AMC Jack Urbont's theme for OLTL The Cortner/Barranco theme for EDGE OF NIGHT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dan Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 My favorite will always be GL's "Hold On to Love." In particular, I LOVE the solo piano version they used at times to score important scenes.

Members evermore Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 I've never watched Y&R, but I'd vote for their theme song. I liked Faces of the Heart & Jack Urbont's themes on GH and some of OLTL's themes over the years, but Y&R's theme is so simple and so elegant... every TV show should have that powerful an opening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 The current B&B theme is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 I'm a nerd when it comes to soap opera theme music, so I won't go in depth with my favorites. Y&R's theme, to me, is soap opera. All you need to hear is those opening notes and you know it's Y&R. I also have a soft spot for B&B's original, trashy version of its theme song.

Members Skin Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 I was thinking about it and I love that B&B theme with the saxophone it sounds so sexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 DAN!!!! That music... those scenes... oh my God, do I miss the real GL right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 An extended version, though the scene is repeated twice in this clip for whatever reason. I think they stopped using the Hold On To Love background theme after JFP left, correct me if I'm wrong, Dan.
