4. "Love Don't Roam" Murray Gold again, and this time in a rare song sung by a man. Neil Hannon, in this case. "Love Don't Roam" was playing at what was supposed to be Donna Noble's wedding reception after she disappeared from the altar and was beamed about the Tardis in "The Runaway Bride." One line from the big-band jam, "all the strange, strange creatures," would later be used by Gold as the title for another composition that often shows up in Doctor Who trailers.

3. "The Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon" Yeah, I'm going to catch merry hell for ranking anything from "The Gunfighters" this high up, but I still say it's one of the better Wild West outings from any Doctor. Steven and Dodo are forced by outlaws to perform this song as proof that they are actors and not associates of Doc Holliday after they mention The Doctor. It would be more than 20 years before another original song would appear on the show, but you won't find that godawful rap from "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy" on this list.

2. "Song for Ten" Murray Gold's best original song contribution is so good I honestly thought that it was some awesome obscure glam-rock track I had just never heard of. Nope, the anthem that follows the Tenth Doctor as he prepares to go to Christmas dinner with the Tyler family after defeating the Sycorax in "The Christmas Invasion" belongs to the show alone, and is the perfect triumphant musical moment as he dons his soon to be iconic costume.

You could consider the song the parting words of the Ninth Doctor to his successor when the lyrics go "Have a good life, do it for me," the same sentiment he said when he sent Rose away from the Dalek invasion in "Journey's End."

1. "Children of Tomorrow" Speaking of glam-rock, I can't recommend the Eighth Doctor audio adventure "The Horror of Glam Rock" enough. The Doctor and Lucie Miller end up trapped by savage monsters in a '70s diner with an up-and-coming glam act, The Tomorrow Twins, as well as their manager (played by the one and only Bernard Cribbins).

Turns out the Twins' music is actually being used to open a doorway to allow inter-dimensional beings to cross over to our reality. It's one of the best stories in a very good season of the Eight Doctor Adventures, and as a bonus you get the full song written by Tim Sutton and Barnaby Edwards and sung by Stephen Gately and Clare Buckfield. Sutton also glams up the original theme to send the story out with, and that's worth the price of the story alone.
