    You've misunderstood.  Rapport has nothing to do with expressing an opinion, but it does have something to do with showing up in a thread and criticizing another member for their posting habits, however repetitive.  It is a pet peeve of mine when people do this on here.  I think you should establish some familiarity with people before you decide you want to snark out on them.  And please spare me this "fee fees" business and defending Howard etc.  That's a bit too far in the direction of immature even for me.

     

    Thank you for at least acknowledging the validity of my criticism.

     

    And again, I can only apologize most profusely for hurting your feelings by anonymously expressing any distaste for your favored composer. With such thin skin, it must truly be a struggle for you to make it through your daily routine, let alone to wade into the fever swamps of the internet commentary. Excelsior!:lovethis:

    TGP,  there's no need for that.

     

    Oh, I would never argue otherwise.

     

    Sorry to hurt your fee fees opining 'bout Howard. I am certain he appreciates your heroic defense!;)

    I’d like to believe both Star Wars and The Lord Of The Rings represent the very best in multifilm scoring.

     

    I like both series for different -and a lot of the same- reasons.

     

    Star Wars has the stronger themes and more complex orchestrations, The Lord Of The Rings is emotionally speaking more solid and has a sense of unity unlike anything out there.

     

    Is it possible to just like both without the need to debate which is better?

     

     

     

    Heretics must be burned!

    But it's one of those people who post infrequently, about one thing, who has no rapport with anyone here, and who comes in with the guns of self righteousness and indignation blazing. 

     

    The line must drawn here. This far, no farther. 

     

    How many 'rapport points' are required to give an observation about one's own subjective musical tastes? Must've missed that in the forum rules.

    Now that's the right way to frame one's enjoyment of one of the score over the other. Not with bold "Williams' work is without peer" nonesense.

     

    Although I'd say some of Shore's best work is with woodwinds. They're his instruments, as a musician.

     

    I must in fairness (after a rather cheap shot) say that your writings on the LOTR scores have inspired me to take another look at them, that I haven't since, oh, 2003 or so.

    Rey's Theme – John Williams' Best Theme Yet?

    It seems that the YouTube comments actually go very much like our own: people were disappointed at first, but, upon repeated listens, have grown to really appreciate the score. 

     

    Plus, you can't tell me that all of the YouTube comments illustrate the "cesspool" of humanity as our very own Mrbellamy has been posting some insightful comments on a couple of the tracks on YouTube. ;)

     

    Yeah, I don't mean the comments on this soundtrack. Just....oh, everything else on Youtube...:)

    Do you enjoy the Force Awakens score?

    "The Return Home" when Rey gets the lightsaber was just baffling. I don't think it fits, .

     

     

    Really? Both Luke and Rey are making a decision to embrace their destinies at that point (Crossing the First Threshold, in Campbellian terms), so I think it resonates quite well.

    What does everyone think of 'March of the Resistance'?

    Sometimes I get March of the Resistance stuck in my head, but it always shifts over to a different melody there.  I finally realized what it was - The Flag Parade from TPM.  Anybody else see a similarity between these two pieces?

     

    This is happening to me constantly. I'll be humming the March, and then realize that I transitioned into that ascending brass section of Flag Parade (say, 00:13-00:22 of that cue).
