John Crichton 4 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 vs. The iconic Star Wars main title takes on one of Williams' most powerful creations, Indy's first MacGuffin.1st round polls will be open for 5 days, with voting ending on Friday evening (my time).

indy4 155 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 The Ark Theme, without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,192 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Ark theme has some terrific renditions (primarily Map Room and Government Agents), but much of that is due to the arrangements, the theme doesn't do that much "on its own". The SW main theme, on the other hand, is a classic even just considering the melody alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Star Wars. Again not just for the Main Titles performances,but the various variations including the B section in Throne Room. My favourite is the unused trumpet/string version when Han enters Echo Base! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 75 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Star Wars main theme/Luke Skywalker's theme. Not to knock the Ark theme or anything (it's great), but I personally prefer the Grail theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentinice 20 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I know I'm in the minority, but I chose Star WarsAs a little boy, so many years ago, my imagination was captured when I first watched Star Wars on my Uncle's Laserdisc player. John Williams' Main Titles were forever burned into my mind when they exploded onto the 27'' screen. I've never forgotten how powerful that music is.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Star Wars. We sometimes forget how fun and magnificent this score is when it's taken into its bare context as a humble stand-alone science fantasy space opera from 1977.
