Hi, I'm new here and I'd like to introduce myself with this poll. I've been a Williams fan since about 1993 when I saw Jurassic Park. This film really got me into JW and I was amazed when I found out this great man was responsible for pretty much all my favourite film tunes as a child in the 80's. I'd always liked the Star Wars themes and Superman music (to name two) when I was young but it was after JP when I was 16 that I really stood up and took note of the composers name on the screen. It was the first soundtrack I ever bought! Since then I have collected pretty much all JW's stuff and many other film composers works too. I love this kind of music and I have even got my friends and family into it. The name of John Williams has gained major respect amongst my circle of friends nowadays. I slowly forced my influence on them! Anyway, from the two choices on offer, which do you prefer? Both being examples of Williams at the top of his blockbuster action music game. Its a tough choice, but I lean towards the simply astonishing excitement of the Jurassic Park cue. It just has a bit of everything which Williams excells in. Tense strings, crashing percussion, soaring fanfares and all flawlessly merged into lots of superb short melodys and rhythms. Of course, the same can be said of the Raiders piece, it too has that vintage Williams touch of thrilling orchestration and rollercoaster like brass'n'drums. But I personally feel that he perfected this art in the climatic action sequences of Jurassic Park. The guy was on fire when he scored the kitchen and giant fossil scaling scenes. Its difficult, but I'm sure you can decide
