We have looked at a lot of Soaps here on Joshuaonline , this time we thought we do a rarity for this site a List. Since the list has the word great in it, that means it's mostly subjective so your results may very in agreement. Though if you have a favorite you can tell us . For this list we have decided to do soaps that are no longer running , and American Soaps. We may do later lists of UK soap intros and of ones that are still running. We may have included one primetime , American soap in here too because they are rarer and you'll see. Let's get started.
10. Dark Shadows
We've written about this soap before , it's the most interesting thing . The soap is about vampires and other supernatural things so it's theme really fits , it has the dark haunting feel to it. I can compare the sound it makes to ghosts. It does have a feel to it that makes it stand out.9. Passions
For a Soap that did it's own thing and could get dark even supernatural ...the theme song really could throw you off. The theme song is called "Breathe" By Jane French , it is really a great theme and deserved that daytime Emmy.here is the full theme
8. All My Children (Early 90's theme)
This one was a hard one because this show has a lot of Themes that I love , but in the frame of this top ten list this is the one that goes into the list. The Drum and piano bring into the theme then the sax takes care of the rest. I love the mixture it fit All My Children Well.7. Guiding Light (1975 theme/intro )
This one is light and simple , it feels like a summer afternoon which is something of an interesting affect for a a Theme song. The Intro around this time is short and sweet. It's the sun coming through some tree leaves and branches.I chose the closing for the featured video because it's longer , you can see the intro here .
6.As The World Turns (1990's Theme)
As The World Turns themes seemed to be the classiest themes I've heard in a soap , this was a harder choice but I feel the 1990's theme has a simpleness to it ,yet a grandeur which is a lot to say for a soap theme. It's not long in the intro but it does it's job and feels so well done.
That it's I am calling that number. I chose the ending credits, glad I found one without the annoying voice over ,gosh networks shut up sometimes. Here is an intro from the same period
5.Ryan's Hope
This is a soap we have covered in a Lookback . "Ryan's Hope" Theme is a happy and optimistic sounding theme it may even through you off from the what comes after it ,which could be happy or not. The theme really captures you into the show.As the note the theme didn't change really through the show's history , but the opens did the open I picked was from 1980 and even the images of New York seem happy and optimistic it fits the music well.
4. The Edge of Night
We have covered this soap before in a lookback , but theme , well the more famous theme is interesting one. It has a spooky haunting sound with an ominous feel too it. For a crime and mystery soap the theme fits very well.
3. Sunset Beach (First theme)
We've written about Sunset Beach here before . It's theme is amazing , it has a great melodrama sound . It really gets you ready for the soap , the intro itself doesn't do much just showing you the faces of who is on the show , so the music really brings the flare.2. One Life To Live (Mid 80's theme)
This one is also my favorite themes of One Life to Live , the music is upbeat and lively (maybe the pun was intended) It's a catchy one , It gets stuck in my head where it can at any point randomly just pop in my head and I hum it.Also the closing credits of course have more you listen to that here
Now there is more after the Jump including my number 1 pick.
