Quintus 5,391 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 For me, I'd say it's probably Star Wars: Main Theme.The fact that for many years I had three very definitive versions of it to endlessly compare probably places it in pole position in terms of my most listened to JW cue EVER!

Ollie 859 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Something from Star Wars or TESB I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 152 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 According to my "Top 25 Playlist," my most played cue is "Swing, Swing, Swing" at 106 plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 2,082 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Winamp holds my last month of plays, and my top JW track is currently Destruction of Krypton at 11 plays. I fell in love with the string chords near the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzOutcast 122 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Probably the Star Wars main theme. I've listened to that over and over on so many CDs and I'm still not sick of it . . . so I suppose JW did something right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikomochi 783 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Becoming A Geisha, easily, as I have only been a JW fan for 4 years, so I haven't heard his albums continuously over the decades as you all have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSM 85 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Journey to the Island it must be. Or Flight to Neverland. Oh no, probably Theme from Schindler´s List. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,602 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Star Wars and The Revenge of the Sith, Aunt Marge's Waltz, or Abandoned in the Woods. I'm not sure which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 5,520 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Star Wars main titles in some form or other, certainly. It was the first Williams piece I ever head on CD, and I've listened to each and every one of my SW CDs (except for the Anthology) many times.

robthehand 3 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Something from Superman. Probably "Star Ship Escapes" or "The Flying Sequence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckM 1 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hmm, probably SW theme just because it's played everywhere.Now if you mean a cue I deliberately play to listen to it would probably be either "Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra" or "Duel of the Fates."

There are sync point in the piece.-Erik- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 152 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Even so, what's so "unreal" about source music? If it's good, it's good. Whether the characters can hear it or not should make no difference in quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,519 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Must be something from Schindler's List, JP or SW scores. Those have had great accumulative listen over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitch 55 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 For me, I listen a lot to the JFK theme and "Growing up in Whittier" from NIXON, one of JW's most underrated scores and one of personal favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST-321 4 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Most likely The Hologram/Binary Sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMENKOHL 1,064 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 The Final Duel/Dark Side Beckons...etc. Though Star Wars Main Titles might be the winner and I just don't think about it since I listen to it so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maglorfin 195 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 For me, it must be Prelude and Main Title March, The Planet Krypton and Destruction of Krypton from Superman The Movie ...... and this is my 1000th post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 2 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Gotta be Star Wars Main Titles, although Ben's Death/Tie Fighter Attack, Superman March, 1941 March, Welcome to Jurassic Park, ToD End Credits and the entire second disc of ESB all gotta come a very close second.....

Maestro 57 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 For me, I listen a lot to the JFK theme and "Growing up in Whittier" from NIXON, one of JW's most underrated scores and one of personal favorites.I love "Growing Up in Whittier"! The gorgeous melody, the wonderful playing by Morrison...it's mighty powerful. And Nixon is indeed a fantastic score.I used to listen to "Carbon Freeze/Darth Vader's Trap/Departure of Boba Fett" ALL the time. Then I went through a phase listening to "Reunion" from A.I. quite a lot.My most recent JW addiction track was "Schindler's Workforce." That thing really moves.
