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.

Got this bad boy for christmas, love it

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! |
