Classic FM Poll and Interview

[Tom 2,726]

I did not see this mentioned and apologize if there is already a thread. Classic FM Oct 09 issue has a list of their 150 top scores, with about 20 William's scores. They also interview him. Most of it is rehash, but he does say that of the themes from the Star Wars cycle, Yoda's theme is his favorite.

Honestly, Tom, don't expect much from a radio station poll that regurlarly alternates between "LOTR", and "Pirates Of The Carribean" as the greatest soundtrack ever written. I have heard these countdowns-usually held on a bank holliday-and I'm always dissapointed by them, not because the scores are bad, but simply due to the fact that these polls, which are made up of Classic F.M. listeners, who wouldn't know a truely great score if they listened to one, always vote for the most recent big-budget score that happens to go into heavy rotation on that particular station. If these kind of polls are to be believed, then Il Divo is the greatest thing since bread came sliced!

Is this list available online? I'm sure we'd love to point out all the ways it's wrong.

The list itself, like all of its kind, is not that interesting, though Star Wars is number 1 on it. If you go to the ClassicFM site, you can view the list, but I don't think the Williams interview. I do think the bit about Yoda's theme is interesting.
