I have purposely held off on listening to the early Patreon release of @TrekRanks Top 5 Main Title Themes until I made my own list.../1
5) Its the guitars that work #ofcoursehehasatheme

Enterprise End Credits, Archer’s Theme, Dennis McCarthy

I am a huge fan of “Faith of the Heart”, and Archer’s Theme is the perfect blend of its optimism and a more traditional Trek theme. And yes, the guitar works in this. /2
4) Modern, contemplative, with excellent callbacks #itsanearworm
#butnotthatkindchekov

Discovery Main Theme, Jeff Russo

It took a while for it to grow on me but its amazing how Russo makes the orchestra come alive to pull you into the story. Its both classic and new. /3
3) The Trekkiest theme of all #itsunmistakeablytrek

Motion Picture Main Theme, Jerry Goldsmith

Almost chose TNG’s theme but the more dramatic drums of TMP’s opening seconds pushed it to the top. This IS the ST theme for most fans and nothing can top Goldsmith’s flair. /4
2) Uplifting ending to a fun romp
#sodifferentitsgood

The Voyage Home Home Again/End Credits, Leonard Rosenman

The combination of the fun of TVH and the closing credits with the music and scenes from the movie, always makes me want to just re-start it and watch again. /5
1) Could listen repeatedly all day #thankfulforhismusic

Star Trek (2009) End Credits, Michael Giacchino

The first minute is everything as he covers the original Courage theme and then he puts his own spin and flare on the 9-minute track. Absolute perfection. /6
