Actually, I found this link on onering.net, and it was strongly encouraging everyone to vote ROTK. I felt I should even the votes by linking this poll to a JW fansite.

I don't think there's a way to escape the bias, no matter what system is used. I frequently find myself loving a certain scene in a movie, and loving the music that accompanies. It's happend to many times to be a coincedence, and I always wonder: Is the music making me like the scene, or the scene making me like the music?

because it's a great score. but i do agree that some other scores listed were better.

YES! get the complete ROTS and AOTC scores, and I will never ask for another star wars score again.

Yeah, those had to go

The Star Wars trilogy is not a merry, sing-a-long, everyone-lives-happily-ever-after, your-true-power-lies-in-your-heart type of movie, like Disney movies. That doesn't count.

Why? I mean, I could understand, him being humble and all, that he wouldn't want CoS being nominated (even though he wrote most of the music), but why the SW Prequels? And why not the third?

That was a close call for me...but still, JW prevailed!

My favorite non-Williams classical piece is Danse Mecabre.

Here's a link to a poll going on at tracksounds. Vote Williams! http://www.tracksounds.com/default.htm There are many good scores, but I chose the Last Crusade in the end. Although, they didn't have my favorite score: PoA

Did he withdraw CoS because of the whole Ross thing?

Yes, I would prefer Williams to Hooper, but nobody else.

My first JW soundtrack was Phantom Menace OS. It opened me up into the world of music. Now, half my life is devoted to music, whether it's playing trombone or piano, or listening to it. It's also cheered me up in time I need to be. I voted option 1.

Wow....this is the first time in a few days that this topic and "Will JW Score Potter Anymore" aren't in the top 2 consistently.

Thanks guys! I wonder why Zimmer won't send in his score?? So the members sold them illegally??

Alright, I'm a bit confused on this topic, so I'm going to say all I know (or think I know) and please, correct me if I'm wrong: If the composer thinks their score is good enough to be nominated for an Oscar, they burn a CD with ALL the music that was written for the film, and send it to the Academy. The Academy members listen to it, and nominated 5 or 6. The best on wins. Now, some questions: 1. Can a score only be nominated if the promo is sent in? If the Academy hears a great score from a movie that hasn't sent a promo, the movie won't be allegable for an Oscar, right? 2. Why are some scores more availble than others? I mean, I've seen A.I. and CMIYC promo many times on eBay, but none others. Do the Academy members sell them after they're done listening to them? Do they make extra copies of certain promos? 3. fabulous scores like Jurassic Park, which deserved to be nominated, if not win, an Oscar--were they not nominated because JW never sent in a promo CD, or because the Academy Members are crazy? 4. Can the Academy be given any movie score? Even, say, movies that are never in theaters? 5. Does the Academy base their opinion on how well the score fits the movie, or how good it is to listen to, unaccompanied by the movie? 6. Are foreign film score elligable? 7. Is there a time limit on the amount of music allowed on the promo??

I agree. I can't belive they didn't have a note of Peter Pettigrew's theme in the OS!!

Hans Zimmer is a great composer, who can really add to the film. I could undertstand why some of you might not like his music, but hate it? Honestly, his riveting action pieces, and even a few beautiful pieces (love theme from world's end, this land, Chevalier de Sangreal, etc...) His style is different, but he is still a great composer. Though maybe not as good as JW, I respect Zimmer deeply, and he is one of my favorite film compsers.

Yeah, the list was a little much. Now they think people are just bitching to bitch. What we should be doing is concerting efforts first and foremost on complete Prequel Scores. We can always fight for better quality OT scores later on. Who knows, maybe these ones are fixed. But the bottom line is, let's focus on the demand for the PT first, instead of yet another OT release. EDIT: Think of it this way, would you rather have a few version of Lapti Nek or complete PT scores? I would much prefer AotC or RotS complete score over PT complete score. If they released the proper PT score, I don't think I'd buy it, just because I've already spent so much $ on PT OS and UE, and I really don't have much of a desire for PT complete.

I am by no means insinuating that Hooper is BETTER than Williams, I just think he has talent, and is a great composer. For only the Potter films, he would be my second choice (JW is first, of course)

I think Zimmer is a magnificent composer!! While not nearly as good as JW, he has talent, and many of his scores are very enjoyable to listen to. Some great cues that come to mind: Up is Down, What Shall We Die For, Drink Up Me Hearties, This Land, King of Pride Rock, Chevalier de Sangreal, Jack Sparrow, Mission Accomplished, and many more. I was curious if anybody knows how much of POTC: At World's End was written by Zimmer, and how much by his "team". Are all his scores written partially by his team? And was John Powell, Klaus Badelt, and Gregson-Williams all Zimmer's student??

Yeah, I agree. I've never been to picky when it comes to sound quality.

Seriously, though. Someone who hasn't sent an email to Sony yet should include the following: 1. a link to this conversation 2. GoodMusician's edits 3. the fact that bootlegs are floating all over eBay On another, Star Wars related note, apparently, the Star Wars vault will contain the soundtrack to Star Tours. I haven't been on that ride in a while, and I was wondering if anyone knew if it was just re mixed music from the films, or if it was new material. I'm really excited for this book. Will there be a limited release??

We want more, Hooper!!!!!!!!
