Pointless pub trivia fact; apparently Harry South's music for The Sweeney's end credits was the inspiration for "Carnation" by The Jam.

Another slice of genius from the late, great John Barry.

Forgot one of my all time faves...

The Eagles - Journey Of The Sorceror

Of course the Allman Brothers Jessica is up there...

and Doug Woods for the snooker music.

My favourite coda is the fade out in the Rainbow theme music!

The guitar break was where they used to fade out...

For some reason, all this makes me think of is a fat, ranting, middle-age bore with no dress sense and a god-awful barnet. Can't think why....

and Doug Woods for the snooker music.

This.

Like The Chain for F1, the snooker music is just timeless.

And this that used to be used in snooker when they had "Hot Shot" competitions.

Ooh, another (fairly obscure) one, but a favourite of mine.

The Beiderbecke Affair

(as an aside/refugee from the Telly Totty thread)
Wasn't Barbara Flynn lovely?
