    Best Score (complete album)
    1. ST2
    2. ST:TMP Anniversary Edition

    7. ST5
    8. ST3
    9. ST4 (By far the worst)

    Best score to have for an RPG
    1. ST2
    2. ST6 (real close)
    3. ST:Generations (20-odd sound effects)
    4. ST:TMP Anniversary Edition (lots of stuff)

    Best Show Theme Music

    Hmmm...I reckon musical pieces, the following:

    1: First Contact (Main Theme)
    2: Generations (Overture)
    3: Insurrection (Main Theme)
    4: Undiscovered Country (Main Theme)

    Series themes:

    1: DS9
    2: VOY
    3: TNG
    4: TOS

    I'm probably the only one to have the Insurrection theme in there - but then I'm probably the only Trekkie to actually like the movie!

    Thumbs up

    Well I won't go into theme music, but I believe that the best piece of music for an episode (make that a 2 parter) has to be the music written for Best of Both Worlds. Very well written and mood enhancing.

    The main reason I didn't rank Insurrection was that I have a book of sheet music that came out before Insurrection. From memory, I kind of like the Insurrection theme song.

    Cool

    I must disagree with the Almighty Don.

    I prefer the DS9 theme to any of the other shows. TNG is Second, with a tie for last in VOY and TOS. And I grew up with TOS reruns.

    As for film scores, First Contact is my fav. ST6 is next, with ST2 a close third.

    Had my turn.....NEXT!!!

    1. First Contact
    2. IV: The Voyage Home

    For the movies:

    Individual tracks
    1. ST:TMP - Ilia's Theme
    2. Wrath of Khan - Spock's Funeral (Scotty's bagpipes leading to the full orchestra playing Amazing Grace) and End Titles
    3. ST: TMP - Enterprise Flyby
    4. Search for Spock - Stealing the Enterprise
    5. First Contact - Main Titles
    6. ST:TMP - Klingon Battle

    Overall, I'd have to rank them:
    ST:TMP
    Wrath of Khan
    Search for Spock
    First Contact

    For the series:
    DS9
    TNG
    Voyager
    TOS

    Personally, my favorite piece of Star Trek music at the moment, is the "Staling hte Enterprise" track from ST III.

    The original Enterprise theme always gets me- not the TOS theme, the theme they play when the Enterprise is approaching. Following that, STMP opening theme and the Klingon theme from STMP. Love that stuff!

    Surprise Attack from STII WoK
    next best "theme" I think is the Klingon Theme.
