bollemanneke 3,349 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Just a bit of useless trivia I wanted to share. I've been listening to the Hall of Fame and it really struck me how much had changed for Williams compared to previous years. Last year, he had six entries in the top 300, now he's got 10. This probably doesn't mean anything whatsoever, but as I'm slowly becoming a JW fanboy, I was rather pleased. The statistics so far: 277: Superman March 262: Born on the Fourth of July 241: ET: Flying 151: Raider's March (This was at 300 last year!) 91: Hymn to the Fallen And there are still five to come, can't figure out which one will be number five (Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter and Schindler's List are definitely in there). Very happy that the wretched piano concertos will still have to make room for a little bit of real music though. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,484 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I love those "Top 10" ! These are the current Top 10 tracks on Spotify: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 2,835 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I was listening to the countdown the other day and I'm pretty sure the Epilogue from War of the Worlds was on there as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,349 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Oops, yes, forgot WOTW. So that leaves Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Schindler's list and HP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 His War of the Worlds score is very good actually. Deserved a better film. John got a taste of Jerry's medicine that time. WotWFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Very underrated, even on JWfan. WotWFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 2,835 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I have no problem with the score as a whole, I was just referring to that particular cue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,349 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 They really should re-consider the entire voting procdure. It's unfair that Bach's Brandenburg concertos, Star Wars and Harry Potter are counted as one piece while every accident of a piano concerto gets its own little place.

Naïve Old Fart 9,551 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 What's really unfair, is that Mahler 2 is just two places above GLADIfuckingATOR!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,349 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 What's also unfair is that, when the guy announced Gladiator, he first played the wrong track (I can easily forgive him that), but also said: Hans Zimmer writes terrific film music. I cannot forgive him that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Its's not incorrect though. Hans Zimmer has written marvelous film music. Dixon Hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
