VIDEOS: With the X-Files returning, we look back at 10 of the best 90s theme tunes

Colm Boohig

The 90s was a great decade for a quality TV theme tune.

The legendary sci-fi series X-Files is returning for another stint after dominating that genre in the 1990s, and a large part of that was down to its distinctive theme tune.

When talking about the iconic series, we soon realised that there really were some cracking theme tunes on TV in the 90s, as in genuinely good songs.

So, from the average to the great shows, we journey back to that glorious decade and reminisce over quintessential 90s theme tunes.

Trying to pick our favourite from these ten is virtually impossible, so we’ll invite you to decide instead.

As long as the show ran during some point in the 90s (The Sopranos started in 1999) it qualifies for this high quality list of musical feats.

Get ready to take a trip down memory lane with some of these beauts and come out a better person for it…
