TOP 10 FAVOURITE WESTERN TRACKS OF ALL TIME
http://www.cinematicsound.net/top-10-favourite-western-tracks-of-all-time/

 

On the program today, I’m going to play for you my ten favourite western tracks of all time and four honourable mentions. This show idea was suggested to me by fellow IFMCA member, Asier G. Senarriaga. You’ll hear selections from composers Bruce, Broughton, James Newton Howard, John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Dimitri Tiomkin, Ennio Morricone, Elmer Bernstein, Alfred Newman, and more.

 

You’ll also hear a suite of music from James Horner’s score to the 2016 remake of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN and a suite of western music composed by Ennio Morricone.

 

Enjoy the countdown!

 

The show is available via iTunes, Google Play & Stitcher

Did City Slickers make the cut?

 

Man... I missed that.  I do love the sequels main title music! :shame:

That's a lot of Magnificent Seven

 

Yes... I played Horner's score (and some Morricone westerns) at the end of the show to fill up the rest of the time.  Horner's score didn't make the countdown.

Where's TV Western?

 

I do like a good TV western theme but none of them are on my own personal top 10.  Sorry. But hey... no love for the fact that I included a video game score?

I meant Williams' unused source cue from Close Encounters. :P

He meant the Williams cue "TV Western" from CE3K.

Lennertz needs more recognition!

Hopefully his Lost in Space score is good and gets some attention

Ha!  Thanks for that.

 

I like The Wild Bunch, Shane, The Searchers, and Lonely Are The Brave (hey Bad Girls made the cut ;) ) 

 

Funny thing about FUCKING DANCES WITH WOLVES.... is that the porn spoof?  I consider DANCES WITH WOLVES it to be one of my all-time favourite scores and there are a ton of great individual cues that could have made the list but in all honesty, I would rather listen to all of the cues on my list FIRST before spinning a Dances With Wolves cue.  But if I did have to pick one I'd pick "Journey to Fort Sedgewick."

 

There is so much great music to chose from the genre that I can't make EVERYONE happy.  Then again, this is a list of MY personal favourite western cues.  What are your favourite western cues so that I can say " FORGET THIS" to your list. ;)

@Erik Woods, that is my list. Well, that and BIZARRE WAKE :lol:

 

As it's my list, I'll say it first: forget this, I'll listen to your list; it's much better.

 

That's your list of favourite western SCORES! What are your favourite individual TRACKS?  Two TOTALLY different things. ;)
