So this MNF theme problem is a pretty typical thing you see these days. Media has control of a property or an idea that has turned into a classic part of American culture. The only problem is that they don't realize while the DEMAND and the adoration for this idea or property (whether it be music, a film, a show, etc.) would appear to be quite high, by giving in to that demand they're slowly killing off the creativity and the identification entire generations can connect to.

You hit the nail on the head, Clay. The brand new MNF theme sounds computer generated and perfect. It sounds inartistic. It's TOO perfect, which is my beef with pop music these days. There's no hint or room whatsoever for an acoustic or human-generated sound. Singers are over-processed and use shit like autotune to completely eliminate mistakes and "errors".

Same thing these days. The 1st and the 2nd versions sound like they could have been recorded by an actual jazz band plus extra instruments like strings. Hell, the first one probably was. The third one? Has no respect for differences in timbre. It bogs down the rhythm with its shitty bass and drum effects.

The NFL on FOX theme is partly to blame. When it first came out, it was innovative and awesome. But everybody wants to copy that tone and sound. There's no respect for orchestration or depth.

Remember when NBC brought back Sunday Night Football in the mid-2000s? You know who composed that theme? John ****ing Williams. Yes, THE John Williams. They used his ORCHESTRAL scoring as their theme music. What did they do the next year? "Uhp, we need it to be pasty and boring and shitty. Convert that shit to synthesized electric drums and horns and do the harmony with electric guitars."

Awful.
