I appreciate Nobuo Uematsu.

I'll second that.

Nice list, Mark. But you forgot Illiaraja. ;)

I'll throw out another damn fine composer that doesn't get enough credit: Dennis McCarthy.

Oh I agree totally, [insert name here] definitely needs more appreciation.

I'm glad someone finally had the courage to make a thread about this.

Yeah I left off a bunch of composers. I was just doing those from memory, according to my iTunes there's probably 100 more I could have added.

Richard Harvey.

He isn't mentioned here very often, but his music is absolutely brilliant! I especially love his score to Animal Farm, and his promos Fantasia and Fantasia 2.

I don't think the scores to the Fantasia movies feature much original music...

No, not the Disney movies. :mellow:

These are completely separate orchestral works he did, that just happen to share the same name. As far as I know, he had nothing to do with the movies.
