Vote for your favourite sci-fi theme tune.
Buffy goes heads to head with the likes of Doctor Who, Red Dwarf and The X-Files. There's prizes to won but the competition is only open to those from dear old Blighty. And if that's not enough voting for you, then head over to this poll and decide if Buffy is better than Friends.

The theme for BtVS isn't in the same class as that. It's a great theme, and I particularly love how it was used in the musical episode, but it's not as amazing as the original theme for Dr. Who.

I was half tempted to go for Star Trek as well. Never been particularly fond of Doctor Who's one.

Aw, no love for Babylon 5 ? Each season had a very different opening take on the same basic tune (and there's some talky narration before it the opening really gets into it), but a couple of them were standout. Season 3's pretty epic. Admittedly, they don't really stand well on their own. I just re-watched 'em on Youtube and I think they only really get you hyped if you're watching and into the series. Much of the in-episode score is very good though. I mean they sold episode-specific CDs, like 20 of them (maybe more) over the course of the show's five years.
If I were in the UK, I'd vote X-Files from that list. Like seermagicx said, legendary. I always used to look forward to the end part, for the very few times they changed the tag line.
Buffy's is still up there too (don't really see how the sci-fi label applies to Buffy though), for a quickie get-pumped-for-oncoming-new-episode kind of thing. Sorry to say that Dollhouse's doesn't really register, aside from the tinkly bit at the end when the lights go out and all you can see is the glow from the in-floor beds. A couple of the other images are curious too (the group-on-street zombie-looking part).
