Still think I'd go Wire over it but True Blood theme down?
Would have gotten my vote.

GoT slightly over Wires.

Wasn't sure if the OP wanted the actual best song, or if it was the song that worked best with the show. I voted Sopranos, maybe a bit out of nostalgia (True Detective really had the best connection between mood of the show and opening song). Because there's nobody who hears that song that doesn't think of Sopranos, and vice versa.

I like the Wire song better and love how they had different versions each season. However, you would be hard pressed to find an original theme that fit a show better than Thrones. They just nailed everything with that show. It is a rare example when everything came together just right.

I really thought The Wire would runaway with this.

Weird pick. Religious pick?
eta* no judgment, I just remember the show and finding it very religious/Christian.

It was a terrible show, probably the worst original series in the history of HBO. I watched the whole season but only because I'm weird like that, it was truly awful. The song they used for the intro is outstanding though.

Gotcha. I thought GOT meant GOAT. I didn't mind the show that much, but I think it was the Veronica Mars dude or something and I was on a kick....
Or something like that.
But yeah, pretty wooden, IIRC.
eta* Honestly, as someone who loves music, I think they even effed up the surf intro. :shrugs:

I don't think it was terrible at all. I was really upset it was cancelled. I didn't fully (or halfly) understand it - but I wanted to. And I wanted to see where it went.
Why do you think it was terrible? The acting was great. The writing was ... well, I don't know. Like I said, i didn't fully understand, but it kept me interested. I wanted to know.

The show was one big Milch middle finger to HBO for canceling Deadwood. Awesome song. Just listened to it and added it to my playlist.

Entourage would be my choice, followed by the Sopranos, then the Wire.
The Sopranos probably would not be high on this list if it wasn't accompanied by that awesome title sequence, or if it wasn't one of the best shows of all time. Kind of a pavlovian response when you hear that song.

I know it isn't an option, but I sometimes think the opening sequence of True Blood is better than the whole damn episode.

Just because it hasn't been mentioned, I'll throw an honorable mention to Flight of the Conchords: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALEQDC-NjoU
