OK, l got everyone's list. Just to make it a solid 32, I added two more of my own. A rare power-flex by me but I wanted to meet that threshold.

I will say, I think a few people missed my intended point and included music that's simply in the show when the intent (and perhaps I wasn't clear) that wasn't front and center in a scene but was background or complement to the action rather than the focus. But really, 1) I didn't want to scare anyone away by poopooing their choices and 2) I just didn't want to suck the fun out of it by being pedantic. I mean, I AM pedantic, by why should others suffer for that. Sides, there are a lot of edge cases. Sides, I got to put in two extra ones so it's a good trade off. Here's the bracket if you want to see it!

Anyway, let's start!

Round 1
Match 1
First is "Lead Me Home" from The Walking Dead, chosen by Torzelbaum. Initially released in 200g by Jamey Johnson, the song ended up being used in a scene in the Walking Dead that shows the sad and often callous nature of the lives of the characters in a terrible zombie-infested world. Against it is my first extra pick, Freshly Squeezed by Angelo Badalamenti from Twin Peaks. Though the series is full of haunting themes, this is one of the more playful ones that takes place in some of the more lighthearted scenes.

Match 2
Next is Working Man's Theme from Serial Experiments Lain. Chosen by @Kirin this anime is known for it's haunting creepiness but this is FUNKY! Against it is another pick of mine, Dropdown Rainbow from Adventure Time from the episode Too Young. In it, Princess Bubblegum has undergone a youthening that allows her to bond more closely with Finn and this music is played when they create a Rube Goldberg machine together.

The Lead Me Home that's used in The Walking Dead is by Jamie N. Commons. The Jamey Johnson song just happens to have the same name.

(Still in thinking about the other matchup.)

Squeezing the Working Man
Also I guess I didn't really catch the gist of the dome. I just thought it was no credits music. To be fair, I watch so little TV that if I'd limited myself to that criteria I probably would not have bothered to submit anything.

Freshly Squeezed and Working Man's Theme move on.
Match 3
First is The Bicameral Mind from Westworld. It's from Ramin Djawadi who did the Game of Thrones music as well and was selected by @Exposition Owl . Against it is Friday Night from I Think You Should Leave, chosen by @Issun . Always, ALWAYS honk if you're horny.

Match 4
Next is a couple of heavy hitters! @Purple brings us the Dance of Curse from the 90s hit Escaflowne. Against it is Walking in the Air, the haunting song from the TV special of the classic book The Snowman via @Bongo .

Westworld wins the showdown while The Vision of Escaflowne is seen.

Match 5
@Torzelbaum is a Pinball Wizard for Pinball Number Count from Sesame Street. The iconic tune was composed by Walt Kraemer. Against it is @WildcatJF 's choice of Rain from Cowboy Bebop by the iconic Yoko Kanno.

Match 6

@Kirin has Messages from Earth via Babylon 5. Christopher Franke composed this one for the episode of the same name. Against it is my choice The Land of Chocolate from the Simpsons. Composed by Alf Clausen, this appeared in the classic episode Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk (where Burns sells the plants to some kind and efficiency-minded Germans)

Pinball Number Count from Sesame Street. The iconic tune was composed by Walt Kraemer.
Music for Pinball Number Count was composed by Walt Kraemer and arranged by Ed Bogas. Performers included The Pointer Sisters on vocals and assorted San Francisco Bay Area jazz musicians, including George Marsh on drums, Mel Martin on saxophone and Andy Narell on steel drums.

Pinball gets extra points and Babylon 5 keeps spinnin'

Match 7
@Exposition Owl experiences a Distant Sadness from Battlestar Galactica (composed by Bear McCreary) while @Issun hosts a Werewolf Bar Mitzvah from 30 Rock.

Match 8
Then @Purple gears up for a Greeed Showdown from Kamen Rider OOO. @Bongo would much rather Kill the Fight from The Fist of the North Star.

BSG's soundtrack is divine but since it's my nom and it is spooky season I'll give my vote to Werewolf Bar Mitzvah.
And Kamen Rider for the other one.

Battlestar Galactica has a plan (unless it doesn't) and Kamer Rider wins 1 to OOO.

Match 9
Next @Torzelbaum calls to a Green Bird from Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts from Cowboy Bebop. Meanwhile, am I strong? Listen Bud! I've chosen this untitled background piece from the old Spider-Man cartoon.

Match 10
This match is all about WEIRD TV!
@Kirin proclaims an Absolute Destiny Apocalypse by JA Seazer from Revolutionary Girl Utena. Against it is Number 6 Throned from J. Arel and C. Petit from the Prisoner. Fun fact, this music is just library music not created for the show but it works perfectly for the absolute mindfuck of a final episode.

You forgot the timestamp, so I don't know which of the several instrumental bits we're talking about here. That said, they ARE all pretty jazzy, so...

No timestamp timestamp no
Stamp no time time no stamp!
No stamptime stamptime no
No timestamp timestamp no!
Stamp no time time no stamp
