toothless 961 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I’ll start. James Newton Howard: I like a lot of his works but I can’t listen to any of the Hunger Games Score. They bore me to death. Funnily enough, I cannot say why though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,042 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 The thread title is confusingly worded and it took me a bit to understand what you were asking Maybe go with: What is the one work that you just can’t listen to by a composer you really like? Instead of: What is the one work by a composer you really like that you just can’t listen to? That would be less ambiguous I guess I could say Rogue One by Giacchino. I love most of his scores but just can't get into that one. Not sure why. Even then, I wouldn't say I "can't listen to" it. I just... choose not to listen to it. Do other people force themselves to listen to things they don't like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,259 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Gia - Rogue One (although I like a few parts here and there) JNH - his generic Bourne-like action scores for thrillers (Salt, The Bourne Legacy, The Tourist, etc). Maurice Jarre - his electronic scores from the 80s Goldsmith - Warlock Horner - the corny songs based on his themes (My Heart Will Go On included) Zimmer - Man of Steel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yavar Moradi 2,515 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 The Goldsmith I've always had the most trouble with is Extreme Prejudice. Plenty of other people whose opinions I respect seem to really like it, so I'll keep trying and one day maybe it'll grow on me. I just find it a really unpleasant listen.

Thor 7,384 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I agree with Bruce. Parameters are necessary, so I'm going to keep it to just ONE title that I don't care for, or have issues with, by some of my favourite composers, even though there are obviously several for each of them. And the topic starter himself broke his own rule by mentioning the HUNGER GAMES scores (in plural) -- unless you consider it one whole work, I guess that's possible too. John Williams - THE BOOK THIEF Danny Elfman - AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Elliot Goldenthal - Quintet No. 2 Hans Zimmer - DROP ZONE A.R. Rahman - SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE Alan Silvestri - THE WITCHES James Horner - THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN James Newton Howard - THE BOURNE LEGACY Angelo Badalamenti - THE NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3 Basil Poledouris - ROBOCOP Ennio Morricone - WOLF Georges Delerue - WOMEN IN LOVE Jerry Goldsmith - THE SECRET OF NIMH Thomas Newman - THE LITTLE THINGS ...and on and on and on.

Thor 7,384 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 But you kinda sneakily broke the rules with the Barry selection there yourself, Bruce? Interesting to hear you pick ALIEN 3. That is not only my favourite Goldenthal score, favourite ALIEN score (on album), but also my 7th favourite score of all time in general. Fascinating how different we experience these things. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toothless 961 Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 FFS can't we just discuss music around here? You like a composer, there is a work you can't listen to, you list it. Listing between 1 to 3 works is fine! But of course if you can't listen to 90% of a composer's output then maybe you don't actually like that composer StarFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
