List your top four or five theme songs/title sequences from Power Rangers AND THEN STATE WHY the themes are your favorite. Simply coz it's more interesting that way; simply listing them out doesn't really say anything about why you like them.

Here are mine:

1) MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS: Having just watched an episode this morning, I was reminded of how fun the theme song was, how fresh, with its accompanying title sequences. My favorite title sequence of that series was the one just after the Rangers got their Ninja powers and before Katherine joined the team.

2) POWER RANGERS DINO THUNDER: Much like the MMPR theme, the PRDT theme was exciting, and the lyrics were awesome. "Save us from these evil forces, win! Power Rangers, win, power from within, victory is ours forevermore!" And I just loved the dual identity credits for Elsa and Mesogog. And Tommy got the "Starring" credit!

3) POWER RANGERS TIME FORCE: While we never really did go throughout the timestream as much as the series title implied, the way this credits sequence weaved in clips of each Ranger from those moments were awesome! And I loved the theme song too! Probably the best of the Saban era, barring MMPR.

4) POWER RANGERS OPERATION OVERDRIVE: I started out really hating the PROO theme song, but as the series went on it grew on me and ultimately ended up one of my favorites. The credits and theme song gave the series (whatever else its faults) a sense of the adventure it was.

5) POWER RANGERS WILD FORCE: Just as with PROO, Wild Force had its faults, but I enjoyed the theme song and credits sequence and the sense of excitement the music invoked.

My top 5 is :

1st) MMPR - opening Season 2 opening 1

YouTube - Mighty Morphin Power Rangers season 2 opening 1


It was just awesome. First time I saw it I was in shock as it looked completly different, It had the classic song and was a great opining IMO. The explosions the fact this time the rangers are posing for the part with name, It works and works very well.


2) Power Rangers Zeo - extended version

YouTube - Power Rangers: Season 4 Zeo Intro

Awesome song and in many ways it's prefect. It sounds epic but combines the MMPR to it as well to feel familiar. My only real complaint with Zeo's opening is the longest should have been when Jason joined but somehow it wasn't. And without every part of the music and tune from the opening I picked they don't seem as good.


3) Dino Thunder - This one

YouTube - Power Rangers Dino Thunder Opening

I LOVE the dino thunder song it's so in your face yet classic vibe to it. It gets you hyped up. I like this opening best as it has the most going on which suits the music best IMO and it's just a great opening video.


4)Time force - This one

YouTube - Power Rangers Time Force Opening

While not really what the show was about about I LOVED this opening as the flashed through different times e.g Dinosaurs really helped sell the time travel aspect from the second it played. Plus it features Quantum Ranger! Another opening that gets you hyped.

5) Light speed rescue This one

YouTube - Power rangers Lightspeed rescue opening


In my opinion this opening is extremely overlooked by fans. It is just perfect for that season. It feels like a rescue show but feels power rangers too. It's catchy and all in all the clips used are great too eg the slow part of the song with camera shot of the slow and steady under water base then when the rangers come out BAM the song picks up full force.

No particular order of preference, mearly starting from the recent.

Only 3/5 videos came up as a preview rather than a link, nothing I can do about that.

RPM

YouTube - Power Rangers: R.P.M. - Opening Theme 3

Sounds weird when you first hear it, but damnit it kinda grows on you after a while, now it's kinda catchy.

Jungle Fury

YouTube - Power Rangers Jungle Fury - Opening Theme 5

The intro really sets the feel of the whole season, and I just love the genre and style the opening is performed in, I especially love the chorus in the instrumental long version.

Ninja Storm

YouTube - Power Rangers Ninja Storm - Opening Theme 4

Again, like Jungle Fury. The intro really sets the mood of the whole season, plus the genre and style of the song itself is one that I simply adore.

Timeforce

YouTube - Power Rangers Time Force - Opening Theme 4

I'm not a big fan of the season at all but I love the opening because it's so full of energy.

MMPR

YouTube - MMPR Season 3 - Opening Theme 3

Ok I'm a sucker for Aaron Waters' music and this influencial song made him who he is today, and created pretty much half the fanbase. I chose this exact opening because it's the nearest MMPR lineup I could get to my dream team and dream zords. Plus I loved season 3 the most.
