Here ya go!

Last Crusade, great though it may be, is clearly in last place for me (though that's not saying much). I have a hard time choosing between the classic Raiders and the less balanced, but amazingly exuberant Temple. I suppose I'll go with Raiders.
-
Oh, the 1980's... so long ago. So many memories....
Memories of your parents making you, maybe...
Unless his mother had the gestation period of an elephant, I doubt it.
-
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Can't complain.
Indeed!
Also:
The River
Gremlins
The Natural
Supergirl
And of course, though it's not a score, "Olympic Fanfare and Theme."
-
Sorcerer's Stone by a hair. Both are wonderful scores, but PoA doesn't quite have the consistency and development of the first score, making it less cohesive as whole.
-
Nice Christmasy feel with good themes. But as others have said, it gets pretty repetitive, to the point where the perfectly lovely main theme becomes rather tiresome. So, 3.5 I think.
-
I never got into Seinfeld. Friends, Raymond, and The Office are a few that I like much better. And I Love Lucy is an irrefutable classic
-
Love 'em....the Lost stuff is excellent!
-
who gives a crap, these are not the two best JW themes.
Everyone who appreciates the time and effort John C. put into the competition, which has been the most entertaining thing going on here in quite a while.
Raiders ftw, by the way.

A 2007 poll indicated that JWFan preferred Hooper's score by a small margin.
-
The charge of general blind Williams favoritism, as always, is an unfair one. There are plenty of dedicated film score fans here who get great enjoyment out of works by people not named John Williams. If you care to notice their comments that is, instead of just seeing what you want to see.
Bravo, good sir.
-
Both are very evocative piano themes, rather dark in nature but not without their share of warmth. This is rather tough.
-
4. It's good with a few fantastic moments.
Indeed. In particular, "Dance of the Witches" is terrifically fun, and "The Ballroom Scene" is simply resplendent.
-
They're obviously similar, but I prefer "Christmas Star." Both are wonderfully melancholy, though.
-
"Fireworks" is great. I haven't listened to the other two pieces since I bought the album in August, but "Music for Orchestra" seemed better than "Christus Apollo."
-
Imperial March, I suppose.
-
Hedwig's Theme!
-
I think Raiders.
-
E.T. because it's really hard to decide and the Force theme is going to win anyway.
-
Happy New Year, JWFan!
-
Hmm, I hesitate to say "I didn't like it," because parts of it were all right. But then again, the more I've thought about it since seeing the film, there are a lot of things that I find wrong with it.
I think I'll follow Marc's lead and vote for both.
-
Sun vs. Kate??
Less than a month to go, folks!

Well, the Blue Box is of course amazing, but since this is a poll about Williams scores, and not other people's scores using his themes, I voted for TOD. We already had everything from Superman except some alternates, while we went from having 40 minutes of TOD to 86. Sure, with KOCS we got 78 minutes of a complete new score, but TOD just blows it out of the water.
Yep, pretty much.

Thanks! No, I used PhotoShop.
And John, I like the second idea best. Spread the wealth and give the little guys a chance.
