Guitar One Magazine, compilers of the widely discussed "Greatest Guitar Solos" list, have now put together a list of what they deem are the "Top 10 TV Theme Songs With Outstanding Guitar Work."

Here is their list and rationale:

10. Simon & Simon - Ah the vaunted "private investigator" TV genre. And for once, a cool theme song, reflecting the yin (streetsmart Rick) and yang (booksmart A.J.) of those crazy Simon brothers.

9. The A-Team - This cheesy hard-rock riff provides the perfect backdrop to Mr. T and Co.'s explosions and rapid-fire submachine guns.

8. The Ren and Stimpy Show - The show's early-rock/rockabilly theme sure gives new meaning to "Happy Happy, Joy Joy."

7. Three's Company - One thing's for certain: some dude was totally trippin' when he cut this nasty wah-wah freakout. We're not sure how this insane guitar part slipped past the show's producer.

6. South Park - Leave it to Les Claypool's fecund imagination to push out this stinky ditty, a hypertense belch of a tune that fits beautifully with the warped minds of Stone and Parker.

5. Chico and the Man- Jose Feliciano's brisk Latin theme song, played on acoustic sounded almost as good as Freddie Prinze claimed he looked!

4. Batman - The weirdest thing about Neal Hefti's popular theme is that it charted four different times, at the hands of four different artists all in 1966!

3 Beverly Hill 90210 - The perfect hair-metal chord progression, laid over a lame keyboard lick and a heavily processed trumpet. Hmm..."perfect hair," "lame," and
"heavily processed" sounds a lot like a the cast of the show.

2 Law & Order - Super-stiff yet amazingly tasty blues plucks merge with a heavy, measured rhythm section to create feelings of simmering introspection and patience…both of which you'll need to get through the show!

1. Barney Miller - Barney's wacky 12th Precinct in NYC seems an unlikely setting to have inspired this Larry Carlton sound-alike jam out over a funk-fusion rhythm track. But add the presence of Wojo and Fish, and it all seems to make sense.
