Definitely Stargate SG-1 for music. Game of Thrones for the sequence (music too though).
The best intro was for Rocko’s Modern Life before they fucked it up with the B52s version.
Clone High and Sealab 2021 are both so good. 20 years later and they're still stuck in my head.
There's nothing quite like hearing a song from the opening of a telly show and thinking "that's bloody great", only to discover that the opening credits use the best bits of the track and the rest of it is rubbish!
I've discovered some pretty great tunes though
Charles Bradley's cover of Ozzy's "Changes" is amazing, from the opening of "Big Mouth"
Your Lie In April - it has the entire plot of the anime in the intro, if you know what you're looking for. But if you don't know what to look for, it is totally innocuous. Also the song SLAPS
Jeeves and Wooster is top notch
Excluding anime, because that feels like cheating to have music made by professionals in the music industry involved:
Best Intro Song Hands Down: Class of 3000 tied with Code Lyoko ( either French or English because they're both amazing )
Worst Intro Song: Regular Show ( it's just a sound effect AFAIK and barely constitutes an intro song in my opinion )
As for sequence, that's a tougher question for me.
Best Intro Sequence: A tie between BTAS, Batman Beyond/of the Future in Europe, I guess, and Code Lyoko seasons 2-4
Worst Intro Sequence: Regular Show ( it feels like a powerpoint presentation with an ongoing sound effect in the background to me )
Law and order.
That midi sound is so dated that it should be retired by old age by human age standards lol
The ones that are fast-forward proof to me are Star Trek TNG & the last of us.
