5 Best & Worst Doctor Who Songs Of All Time

It's like music to your ears. Or not.

Music has always been an integral part of Doctor Who. Not just in the show, but outside it, too. The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, for example, revolutionised television soundtracks - the famous theme music is now so iconic that it's been heard in every corner of the globe and the current composer, Murray Gold, plays Doctor Who music to packed out auditoriums. Beyond the show itself there have been many pop groups, punk bands and even regular fans who have picked up a guitar and celebrated their favourite time traveller. A few years back there were even a couple of bands storming into the iTunes charts with Doctor Who songs and albums. Sometimes these songs are wonderful and exciting. Sometimes they make you well and truly cringe. This article will explore some of the best (or possibly worst, depending on your point of view) songs about the show that have surfaced over the years, from the biggest popstars of the past to the more recent internet sensations. Be warned, though, because some of these will get stuck in your head all day, and that wouldn't necessarily be a good thing, either...
