Star Trek Voyager may not have been the... strongest series in the Star Trek catalog, but their theme song was pretty darn good, if you ask me. Very explorer-y.
The best theme song of the tv shows, I think. TNG's theme was just a rehash of the score from the first movie. Not bad, but... "meh." DS9's theme was pretty good, just not quite as good as Voyager's. I didn't mind the Enterprise theme, myself, but it was such a different style that you can't really compare it with the rest.
As for the show itself, TNG was the best, of course, but I liked Voyager better than DS9, and certainly neither one hit the full-on, rage-inducing level of fail that Enterprise did.
Voyager took a good concept and did a decent job with it. DS9 took a rather lackluster concept and did an exceptional job making it a decent series, but you can tell they had to tinker with the base concept along the way to manage it.
Enterprise took a brilliant concept with incredible potential, an interesting character list with talented actors, and and absolutely brilliant set and technology design*, and utterly and completely destroyed it.**
* I think the Enterprise designers managed to hit the "bridge" between modern technology and the '60's TOS look about as perfectly as possible.
** I still want to strangle Rick Berman over that "temporal cold war" abomination, and all it's wretched spawn.
The funny thing is I just watched the episode of Voyager with the 29th century guy who came back and sent them all to 1996. That was a pretty annoying episode. Just... stay out of time travel, ok, scifi writers/producers/etc? It gets old.
