indy4 152 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Obviously, JW is excluded.I voted Debney and Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 2,082 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Given that 'best' can be defined in so many ways, I simply voted for my favourite of the options.Debney and Howard it is for me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I'd say Powell and Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I'm goin' Debney and Howard.Tim, who is listening to the USC Williams performance and just realized he says "busting a gut" during on of his interludes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 73 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Howard and Debney, in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Horner, by far.I could care less about the first poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendal_Ozzel 32 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 How much less could you care?I voted Powell on the first, and after a little thought, Horner on the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 317 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Powell and Howard got my votes but it was hard to choose between Powell and Debney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMENKOHL 1,064 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 That's a tough second one. I'm certainly more impressed by JNH lately, but Horner has still come up with more great materials...and a higher level of consistency (yes yes, bring on the Hornerism jokes).

indy4 152 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 Actually, I never wrote the word "best" in this whole thread, until just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Who is the better film composer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Same difference, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckM 1 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 The first is easily Powell, IMO. The second is a little tougher, but I would have to go with Horner.Another good "John" though would have been John Barry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 152 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 Oh yeah, I was going to add him, but I forgot. I don't think I'll add him now, however, because that would be unfair to the 26 people who already voted in the first poll.Same difference, dude.Best could imply that we're talking best overall, not just of the choices listed. Better implies that one should pick which one of the composers they consider "better" than the other options.But this is pretty pointless, I think everybody gets the just of this poll.

Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 If you were to ask who was the best composer and offer a list of options, it would be quite obvious that you mean the best out of the composers selected.Never mind, though. Pointless discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI 0 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 You also forgot John Morris, and James L. Venable. Not that I expect they would get many votes, but they should still be for completion's sake.Maybe James L. Venebale would have been the underdog who sweeped the entire poll. We will never know.

Pieter Boelen 633 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 John Debney for me. Cutthroat Island is reason enough. Then Lair is also really good.As for the James': I never was much impressed with James Horner, so James Newton Howard it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 859 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Never mind, though. Pointless discussion.It usually is.I voted for Powell and JNH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
