Black Sails



Music by Bear McCreary

PIRATES. This is the music of pirates. It's music that scream "PIRATES" (like I just did!) Listen to that hurdy gurdy. A pirate would like that! I think it's one of the best opening themes ever. The title sequence with the sculptures of piratey things certainly add to the atmosphere of pirates. Did I mention pirates yet? ARR.

Here's an extended version of the music if you want to listen to that!



Here is Bear McCreary talking about the hurdy gurdy.

The second one is an extended version from the movie (according to the person who uploaded it). I MISS BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.

Every time I go looking for the BSG theme, I wonder if I got the right one.

ALSO, Black Sails has some of my favorite tv show music and sometimes I listen to a bunch of it for a day or two.

Unique music, offbeat visuals...it set the tone for the show in a minute flat. (Should start at 1:20)

Better than the current Flash theme, IMHO.

Jonny Quest... average Saturday morning cartoon... epic music.

Well, we have this intro to an anime my brother got me into - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. A show about a bloodline of incredibly manly men with weird and convoluted superpowers who travel the world, hunting vampires and other supernatural baddies, all while striking FABULOUS poses (oh, and half the characters are named after classic British and American rock bands and singers - we've got characters like the reformed street thug Robert E. O. Speedwagon, a quartet of zombies named Page, Jones, Plant, and Bonham, the speedo-wearing vampire Vanilla Ice, and this is just the tip of the iceberg):


Then, there's this classic, one that I think we all agree needs to be here:


I'll probably find some more later.

I still like the theme/Intro to House of Cards, despite the unpleasantness with one of their cast members.

Unlike anything that had been seen on TV before at the time...
