THE GOAT OF ALL NFL PRIME TIME SONGS!!!!!

Idk. John Colby - Theighs Mon is a good one

[@vdubproductions2646]

@@mrgumbwit5307 Out Front is a great theme, but Theighs Mon is the Holy Grail of NFL Primetime Songs.

[@versatyle45]

C'mon ya'll-best song is International Statement-only saved for the closest games of the week.

[@jimdonaghy7647]

As good as Theighs Mon was, International statement and Out front in my opinion are the two greatest Primetime tracks ever created. Arguably fan based top three by popularity to me was International Statement, Arnold, and Out front. My personal top five was Out front, Power Plant, Touch and Go, Pro, and either Arnold or Eric D (with the guitar riff). So many great tracks.

Out Front was used for the Fastest Three Minutes in 2000. Then I never heard it again. It was my favorite theme.

[@puckutubesux7356]

It was still used in 2000.

[@JStantonX]

Shame on it being retired on the first place.

[@Venom3254]

This can honestly be used for music used for credits after beating a game

They didn’t get to the end part of this clip too often, although the KC/MIA WC game in ‘94 was one time when it did.

[@ChernobylPizza]

I've never heard past 2:53 in my entire life until now

[@steviepusch2166]

felt like this was a perfect song a game that was a struggle for both teams or a back door shootout towards the end

[@dominicbonanno6806]

This one always reminds me of a dramatic game that was coming down to the final seconds.

[@redpillfreedom6692]

I think it fits well for a team that finally wins its first Super Bowl. They used this for when Denver won its first in 1997. I think it would have fit perfectly for when the Eagles won in 2017.

[@lukelauner653]

The greatest primetime song

[@JacksonJohnson979]

Now that nfl Primetime is on ESPN+ I am hoping they can play this song.

[@ProjectInsight44]

I theorize that other than International Statement and Powersurge, ESPN probably doesn't have the rights to many of these out of house songs or they simply can't find them, because in the first episode they only played the songs I mentioned and most of the songs John Colby made for Primetime.

[@jamesd1238]

Just my opinion. As great as most of these themes were, International Statement is clearly the #1 by many. Powersurge was also great, but the reality is they never should have stopped using Out front. For today's NFL Primetime Championship weekend, Outfront should be the AFC Championship and International Statement should be the NFC. Outfront was clearly the 2nd best Primetime theme, period.

[@ProjectInsight44]

My ideal songs for this year's Championship Weekend would have been Cold Fusion (a track only used once on Primetime that should have been used much more) for the AFC game, and Gelman by John Colby for the NFC game. However, it's no doubt that Out Front is one the best underrated gems of Primetime.

[@jamesd1238]

Cold Fusion was a good one. There are 2 others from the early 2000's I still do not know. Very good tracks. I'm sentimental to Out Front.....big fan of the 90's Bills and as a kid, it was the first music theme I listened to. Kelly is my all time favorite QB.

[@simtek3475]

Hey Ben, here's a hot tip. on ESPN.com, the game highlights they have there use NFL PrimeTime songs for the majority of them. A few use actual announcers, but a lot use PrimeTime songs with clear audio and no background sound. I've followed it this week and last week, and have heard songs 1-14, 16, and 23. The highlights range from 15 seconds to 2 minutes. Big breakthrough?

[@ProjectInsight44]

Did a quick scan of the site and couldn't find any highlights, just the usual pompous talking heads. Would appreciate a link to an example of this.

[@JAG214]

[@AbleAnderson]

Here's a crazy thought ESPN - How about you do a highlight show on Sunday evenings and put some cool music to it. Who knows, you might inspire legions of adults 20 years later to go scouring the internet hunting down the tracks you used on that show. Could be some pretty loyal fans developed in the process. Whatever you do, don't get rid of that show after you create it.

It was either 1998 or 1999. I think they revamped Primetime in 1999 and Out Front was used for 1998 Fastest 3 minutes and then retired. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was 1998.
