Dr.ZacharySmith 0 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I have a large collection of LPs (including rare titles like the original soundtrack to "The Thief of Bagdad" (sic) and the spoken word LPs of Star Wars and Empire SB) and a very large collection of classical and OST recordings. I have stuff by Williams, Goldsmith, Rosza, Stevens, Bernstein, Herrmann etc...etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant 1,093 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 More JW CDs. I have some soundtracks by other filmcomposers but almost never listen to them.That's why I stopped to by those.Quite many classical albums by major composers,don't listen classical anymore(still like it ,though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 9 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Far more by other composers, with Goldsmith being the second in line (about 25 albums behind Williams, but far, far, ahead of Horner, the third place, who is in the same area as Zimmer and Elfman, who are followed by JNH, Doyle, Shore ( Barry and Arnold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Counting just film scores, more Williams than everyone else combined. Throw in my TV and video game stuff though and everyone else takes the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 859 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I have 110+ Goldsmith CDs although Williams isn't too far behind.After that it's probably Akira Ifukube with 50+ and then Herrmann and then in no particular order Rozsa, Silvestri, North, Newman, Broughton, Horner, Delerue, Bernstein, Barry, Young (Victor and Chris), Waxman, Rosenthal, Rosenman, Poledouris, Giacchino, Elfman, Sato, Oshima, Goodwin, Kaper, Steiner, Mancini, Arnold, and Kamen to name a few.I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.

robthehand 3 Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Ah, OK. I have different versions of a few scores. At first I thought you meant like AotC with the different covers, or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 859 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 No I wouldn't waste my money just to have different covers.If an expanded version comes out I get rid of the original unless the score was recorded for an album release like E.T. and Jaws where there is a difference in cues.

Miguel Andrade 964 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I have exactly 2020 CDs. Some 50 or 60 LPs.The LPs are mostly Williams related. The CDs are mostly of other composers.

Marian Schedenig 5,520 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Different versions:Oh sure, I have several of those, too. But even having all Williams releases plus duplicates probably wouldn't add up to 400 CDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Haven't counted exactly, but I know Williams is the top artist in my collection. But overall, I have more from other composers. Goldsmith is second. John Barry is third, but tied with Horner if I don't count the two different releases I have of Dances with Wolves seperately.

Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 But I'm interested into why you're picky about him?Personally, I only have one Herrmann score, that for some reason I really haven't gotten around to listening to yet. Probably because I haven't seen the film (which probably won't help either, since it's the rejected score to Torn Curtain). Herrmann is one of those unexplored composers to me, but I know he's done some wonderful work. The love theme from Taxi Driver is gorgeous.- Marc, who'll pick up North by Northwest next time he's in Amsterdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 317 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'm not picky about Herrmann in general, I said I'm picky when it comes to film scores.If there's a movie to a score that I haven't watched 99% of the time I will not listen to it. I know it sounds crazy but it's true. I will only get scores if I like hearing them during the movie. A lot of the old time movies though I will most likely end up not seeing.

Hitch 55 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 But why do you end up not seeing old movies?Because I don't want to....geez...So you'd rather watch crap lightsabers dualling in TPM (1999) as opposed to the excellent swordsmanship sans CGI 60 years earlier in THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (1939)?? That and an Oscar winning score by Erich W. Korngold to boot.I'll email you a list of classic "Black and White" and "Color" movies that you should watch before submitting silly comments like "Why do you end up not seeing old movies?" Where the hell do you think George Lucas came up with idea of Star Wars came from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 317 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Yes I would rather watch lightsaber duels from TPM. To ME they're not crappy. Besides Star Wars, The Original Series for Star Trek (even though it's a TV show) and Star Trek: The Motion Picture anything before the 80's as far as movies go I have no real intrest in. It's my choice and I don't give a shit wether you (and Joe) like it or not. Everyone has their own prefrences in what films they want to watch and this is mine. It is my choice to choose what I want to watch or what I don't want to watch I could give a shit less what anyone else thinks.I also don't have to explain myself to you or anyone else for that matter of what I like and what I don't like. Yes I'm well aware of where Lucas came up with the idea for Star Wars, you don't need to point that out to me. :roll: I'm done with this thread.
