JoeinAR 1,949 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Ok fellow JW Fans, here it is.The year is 2006, we have nothing to look forward to at the moment. We've had 4 major releases in the last year, but plenty of time to digest each of them.Several years ago we did the OFFICIAL TOP TEN JOHN WILLIAMS ALBUMS.At that time others wanted to do a Top 10 cue list, but we never got around to doing it. Believe me its alot of work to do this.So, here are the rules, please follow them, or your choices may not be counted.1. Please list your Top 5 cues. Yes thats right, just list your TOP 5 cues. But wait a minute, this is a Top 10 cue list, but since there are so many more cues than albums, I ask that you limit them to 5. I will still be able to come to a consensus on the Top 10 based on your choices.If you put more than 5, I will just count the first 5. If you put them in order with no preference then the preference will be based on your order.2. You must put the album it comes from That way, say what if Poster X puts down a Jaws cue that is identical to Poster Y's cue from a different Jaws release, I will know how to count it.These are simple rules, please follow them, and your choices will be counted.Well let this run for at least until June 1st, and then I will start to put it together.

Henry B 50 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 1. "Lifting Susan" - The Fury (2-CD limited ed./complete score)2. "Throne Room/End Title" - Star Wars (RCA)3. "The Miracle of the Ark" - Raiders of the Lost Ark (expanded release)4. "Epilogue" - The Fury (2-CD limited ed./original soundtrack album)5. "Munich, 1972" - Munich (original soundtrack album)"Lifting Susan" 3:23-3:39 - if that isn't the most apocalyptic music I've ever heard. It's incredible, but it can't be fully appreciated without the support of the rest of the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 So I'm assuming you mean 'track', and not necessarily 'cue', which is different, as some cues are edited or never released on an album. In any event, this is extremely difficult, as it should be, to limit it to 5. Curse you!My Top 5, in order, are as follows:1. Escape-Chase-Saying Goodbye (E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial: 20th Anniversary)2. The Visitors-Bye-End Titles (Close Encounters of the Third King: Special Edition '98 Arista)3. Journey to the Island (Jurassic Park OST)4. Farewell Neverland (Hook OST)5. The Rebel Fleet-End Title ('The Empire Strikes Back '97 RCA)Chances are, since there is so much time left until these tracks are compiled, I will be biting my nails over the choices. I will try to keep them as is. Right now I'm pretty happy about them. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonblueeyes 0 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 This is like Sophie's Choice. Almost impossible to pick just 5 but if I had to choose only 5 that I'd be allowed to listen to: 1. TIE: Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981 Polydoor CD) & Desert Chase (Raiders Of The Lost Ark - DCC CD)2. Escape / Chase / Saying Goodbye (E.T. 2002 CD)3. Darth Vader's Theme (Imperial March) (Empire Strikes Back 1997 RCA CD)4. Can You Read My Mind (Love Theme From Superman) (2001 Rhino CD)5.

jasonblueeyes 0 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 trying to get 6 for 5 won't work with me. Alright....my absolute #1 choice will have to be:Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981 Polydor).I am a bit confused as this shows up as 'End Credits' on the DCC version. But you know the Version of the Raiders march I mean. So for this exercise which title do I and others use?Polydor: 1. Raiders Of The Lost ArkDCC Expanded: 18. End CreditsWill they both be counted as the same thing like 'Escape/Chase/Saying Goodbye' and 'Adventures On Earth' will Be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
