[indy4 159]

Each year Classic FM users vote for their favorite film scores, and a list of 100 is compiled. Here's the one for 2013:

[Not Mr. Big 4,831]

Not too bad. I was afraid something like Inception would take #1.

[Quintus 5,756]

The Hobbit shouldn't be in the top 10.

[BloodBoal 7,544]

[Quintus 5,756]

Ludicrous but expected. These sorts of things are always populist.

[BloodBoal 7,544]

[Quintus 5,756]

Just because Middle Earth is already well covered in the top spot, no other reason. It's not like they also featured Temple of Doom as well as Raiders.

As I said, it's just pop lists.

[Wojo 2,458]

If it's voted on by users, they have short term memory. They know the latest scores they bought and listen to the most, and might not emphasize the classics.

[Marian Schedenig 10,322]

Whatever happened to showing lists in a list format?

[Ollie 1,297]

Perhaps we should do our own top 100 list.

I'm serious.

[BloodBoal 7,544]

[KK 3,310]

I'm surprised Saving Private Ryan makes it so high on Classic FM's list, especially given that these are the same voters who put scores like Inception and PotC above the likes of ET, Close Encounters, Raiders, Superman, etc.

[gkgyver 1,647]

Chronicles of Narnia by HGW on #40?

What a list ...

[Sharkissimo 1,976]

Tells you more about the listeners than anything (hint: it ain't good).

[Koray Savas 2,256]

Perhaps we should do our own top 100 list.

I'm serious.

I vote for Joey to spearhead it. I think his system for JW scores worked well.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,055]

I second the motion!

[KK 3,310]

Agreed.

You can show 5 times the advertisements when you have to go through 5 pages to view the entire list

[Marian Schedenig 10,322]

Except I'll just stop reading and thus not generate more hits.

[JoeinAR 1,955]

what a fucking joke. Star Trek 2009 is rated higher than Star Trek the Motion Picture.

The list failed. Hanz Zimmer's score inception is rated higher than Jaws, OMG what a shitty mess.

the most laughable of all is Lord of the Rings at #1.

[KK 3,310]

the most laughable of all is Lord of the Rings at #1.

Right, cause that's definitely the most controversial and stupid decision on this list...

[Ollie 1,297]

Not enough Goldsmith, Rozsa, North, there are Williams scores that don't deserve to be ranked and the order is suspect.

Where's 99 & 100?

But hey their opinions are just as valid or as sane as the one tossed around on this website.

Whilst I'm all burned out on LotR and its score's power has diminished somewhat for me, I still appreciate its greatness, it's herculean achievement within the medium. It has every right to the top spot as much as a number of other scores in the list.

[Naïve Old Fart 11,834]

"NXNW" at 98???!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry: the average Classic FM listener has the attention span of a very small goldfish, so next year's top-10 will contain stuff that is equally trendy, and as equally emphemeral.

[Joni Wiljami 1,237]

[Quintus 5,756]

Get with the times dude! Don't you realise we're almost a parody now?

[chuck 155]

No, we're being satired.

[Naïve Old Fart 11,834]

Chicken satire, with peanut sauce. Yum, yum!
