Hmm..

Watch on YouTube

I loved the above soundtrack enough that I downloaded it and play it on my iphone.

Petzi grabbed my first choice, and the problem with my close second one is that it's been too long since this was on the air, and I can't recall any of the other music in the soundtrack, although I was pretty sure it was there, and it wasn't just this famous opening theme music:

I did indeed find that there was an album issued of the series' music:

So I'm not completely off base, anyway!

The Hill Street theme was composed by Mike Post, who apparently wrote EVERY theme for a prime time drama in the 1970s and 1980s.

Along with Hill Street, Post wrote (and hit the top 10 with!) the themes from The Rockford Files and The Greatest American Hero.

Not to mention: Magnum P.I., Law and Order, the A-Team, NYPD Blue, Quantum Leap, L.A. Law, and a few hundred others I'm forgetting...
