Spence is a genius. Many have tried to capture the detritus of the emotions of the NFL. It does take a classical composition to cover the complete turmoils, uncertainty of outcome, and finally the conclusion for the victor. In all it's glory, it's captured here in his work. Especially that Raiders theme. How can you listen to this and not envision and feel pure NFL action?
When I listen to this, I think of the Ice Bowl between the Packers and Cowboys in 1968. The themes just screams cold weather and toughness and slugging it out under the worst conditions. Or any great game where a team made a comeback to win. Epic music for epic games!
@usurper70 You said it!!! Any game in snow between two bitter rivals, like you said OLD Browns and Steelers!!! 70's and 80's all the way! Classic music for a classic era of football!
I consider this to the single best piece of music in all of NFL Films music.
I have seen this piece used by people when making tribute vidoes or needing theme music for history projects, war documentaries, personal stories of overcoming adversity in life, World of Warcraft tribute videos, all kinds of documentaries about the old west, you name it, a piece of music this great transcends all boundaries. It's universal.
@campaigner111 For years, for some reason, I didn't like this one. But recently, it has more than grown on me. The single best piece? I still say The Raiders Theme, but this is a close second. This just reeks of NFL action.
@roquey44 I totally understand. Everyone has a particular NFL song that moves them the most. For some reason this one has stuck with me more than all the others.
BUT, I agree with you completely about the Raiders Theme! THAT piece is phenomenal! I would put Classic Battle and the Raiders Theme as a tie for number one I think. They're both just ridiculously good!
@whatitis117 Actually, of the 7 playoff games between the 49ers and Cowboys, the 9ers won 2. Going 2-5 isn't "ALWAYS coming out on top comfortably." That's what made the 2 wins so mmorable.
This song reminds me of so many classic battles. Jim Kelly vs Dan Marino Garcia vs Stafford Brady vs Manning. There so many their hard to count!

The first thing I see when I hear the start of this song is a football cleat throwing up a divit of grass as it grabs at the ground.

The greatest football themes by far. This reminds me of the old 49er Cowboy rivalries with the 9ers ALWAYS coming out on top comfortably.

The Rams summoned the heart no one thought they had, and slowly made their way towards the Steeler goal.
The Rams were on the verge of another score, when Ferragamo made his first and only mistake of the day.
