DS9, but I also have a fondness for LD.
I gotta agree with Magic Carpet Ride, but otherwise, I enjoy that weird campy music Fear plays in VOY: The Thaw.
Lower Decks is the best one of all the post kelvin Treks, for sure, but that might be because it's borrowing so heavily from TNG/TMP.
I think that's part of it. I do think they deserve some credit, though, for the way the note drops down at the end of each repetition of the main motif, mirroring how the Cerritos doesn't have the same confidence as the Enterprise.
Also, while I don't necessarily like the newer cinematic themes as much, I do respect the use of the Inner Light flute in the Picard theme. Also, although still not a top tier theme, Strange New Worlds's theme is at least memorable, though probably in part because of its borrowings from the TOS theme. The Prodigy theme feels like a blend of cinematic, TAS, and TNG-style themes.
