The infamous pop song theme for Star Trek: Enterprise was derided then and remains derided now. Here's the story of how it got from there to here.
Working from the oral history in The Five Year Mission: The next 25 years, this is a fascinating deep dive that answers the question “How did a recycled cover of a 1998 song written for Rod Stewart, ‘Where My Heart Will Take Me’ aka ‘Faith of the Heart’ become the title music for Enterprise?”
Also, after resisting melodic scoring in all the 90s shows, it turns out this was the music Rick Berman liked?!!
“…I, for one, can tell you that I thought it was a great opening and I'm not alone in that. I don't think I'm in the majority, but I'm not alone."
And it seems the song does have its own subniche of supporters who share Berman’s view. (But not I.)

I love this intro and also Ent S3 and S4 is the only Trek that can compete with DS9, fight me.
Bartender? This guy has clearly had enough, he's just going around saying extremely inflamatory things.
Season 4, IMHO, is among the best of all Star Trek. The Vulcan bombing 3 parter alone was such a great storyline, playing off of plot lines going all the way back to the first episode.
