Autumn Thunder!
 
Just got Autumn Thunder, the 10-CD set from NFL Films, and I gotta say it is AWESOME!

Quite pricey at $89, but with 182 songs and over 8 hours of listening enjoyment, I'm glad I made the investment.

Got a favorite tune already: One Day. One Game. I think it's one of the songs played on the NFL Network a_lot (that's for you, Skydog ;)).

Great for setting the mood while I sit down to strategize how the Oregon Ice will win their second CFL Championship this season!

I've had this for a few weeks, it kicks ass. I think my favorite tune may be The Mob, though I also like Whallop Shuffle a lot (all of Disk 5 is great).

I've been listening to my favorites in iTunes, but haven't actually made it to disks 7-10. I generally have been more of a fan of the Sam Spence works than of the newer compositions...guess I still should go through them though, huh? :)

I love Sam Spence, but since I got the set, I really like David Robidoux's music. It's like Spence, but with a modern spin.

Drive to Glory is one of the best, and is played regularly on NFL Network.

This is somewhat unrelated, but I've got a question. I actually found out about the CD set while I was doing a search for a very popular NFL Films song a week or two ago. Back in the day I had this old VHS which had highlights from all of the Super Bowls up to the one that featured the Skins and the Broncos (forgot the number). Anyways, I definitely place this video and the old-school NFL with the song I'm thinking of and I think it should be pretty familiar to A LOT of people around here, but I've got no idea as to how to describe it. I think the tuba plays a large role in the song.

Does anyone have any idea as to what I'm referring to? I feel like I've just made a total Suicane post.

Ok, I've been mulling this for a while...because of this, I just placed my order.

Could be Round Up, by Sam Spence. You can listen to a sample at Amazon.com on the The Power and the Glory CD. It's also on Autumn Thunder.

That would have been my guess as well.

----------

The mention of Skins/Broncos reminds me though - that highlight show was on recently, and I really like their version of Hail to the Redskins (and how it ties into the clips) that they play as the Skins destroy the Broncs in the 2nd quarter.

I thought I was the only one that played FOF with Autumn Thunder in the CD player... man, these discs are great. Missing a few tunes that I was hoping would be on there, but also finding some new favorites that I wasn't familiar with. Worth the money!

Kickass, you guys! That was it.

Round Up is my all time favorite NFL tune.

wow, just came across this collection online and can't wait to get my hands on it. but since the price tag is a little steep i may hold off a bit.

The Power and the Glory is one of my most-listened to CDs. I regularly go back to it when i'm just not in the mood for any other stuff.

I just checked iTunes...

They have "Selections from Autumn Thunder" available!
