Anything by Bear McCreary is going to be excellent, Battlestar Galactica being my personal favorite.

Snuffy Walden's score for the West Wing is great.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had a great score, particularly in later seasons. Really all the Trek shows have been solid in the music department.

Bear McCreary was the first time I ever actually looked up who did the score on a TV show.

Prelude to War is just an amazing track on its own. You would never guess it came from a basic cable sci-fi show.

Except "Prelude to War" is essentially a cover of Phillip Glass' November 25: Morning from Mishisma (1985).

Battlestar's score is fantastic. Crazy to think that it was his first time scoring a TV show and that he was only in his mid-20s when he started on it. Outlander and Rings of Power are a couple of my other McCreary favorites.
