The person I'm going with to the JW concert wasn't quite sure she knew who he was, but I guarantee that she will know everything they play at the concert.

charlesk 0 Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 No, I don't like him, he is too brassy. Jane Eyre? Too stringy. Hook? Too tonal. Images? Too atonal. CMIYC? Too jazzy. Paper Chase?

Wojo 2,453 Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Am I the only one who is REALLY tired of these "Am I the only one who ______" topics? NO!Apparently, Rogue Leader, you and the rest of the board were when I posted this number back on June 6:Am I the only one who is sick of all of these "Am I the only one who likes..." posts? I mean, Jiminy Christmas, the joke is old. What's next? Am I the only one who likes air? Am I the only one who likes to sleep? Am I the only one who likes John Williams? http://jwfan.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&f...iewtopic&t=3180Let's look at that little beauty again, shall we?Am I the only one who likes John Williams? AI, your originality in picking a post is lacking, since I predicted it. It was only a matter of time before someone would follow the sad little "am i the only one who..." formula to John Williams himself. I'm only complaining about this one because I called it; I know there will be more to come.It's quite easy to pick out all the sarcasm in this particular post, it's so thick you almost need boots to wade through. Just surprised no one mentioned if they were the only one who liked John Williams -- the guitarist. Er wait, someone did.Just remember that Williams isn't the only quality composer in the business; everyone is capable of writing gems, even Horner and Goldsmith and *gasp* Zimmer, just as everyone is capable of writing stinkers, even Williams. Seems like some are mocking non-Williams scores for simply the sake of doing so.Now please, say I'm not the only one who's sick of these "am i the only one who..." posts!!!
