I think my number one favorite TV theme song of ALL time just might be the "As the World Turns" theme used from 1973 to 1981. To me, it's the absolute essence of the soap opera genre. It's grand, majestic, epic, romantic, dramatic...everything you need in a soap theme. I wasn't born until nine years after it was replaced, and so I grew up watching the show with different themes, but for some reason, no matter what, when I think ATWT, I immediately think of that classic theme song.
