John Crichton 4 Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Over the years, what JW album have you listened to the most?What do you listen to the most nowadays?What bit of Williams greatness has found its way into your CD player, iPod, record player, etc, more than any other?For me, the most listened to will always be the Star Wars Original Trilogy Special Editions. They were my first, and for a long time only JW CDs. As my collection has grown the last few years I try to listen to everything evenly, but I think all 5 SW scores are still ahead.

Hector J. Guzman 1 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I usually make playlists, almost like making a concert programme. I rarely put on the soundtrack CDs. When I get to hear a soundtrack CD it's to get to hear all the different variations of the theme, and other themes I don't hear often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeekUYoda 0 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Returning to the topic.... I'd pick the SW SEs, too - not because they're the most timeless or classic or anything, but just because I like them the most! I'd never been to the TFN music board before I clicked on Neil's link up there.... yikes. And I just bought the Superman score yesterday (not the extended release - the OST) - wow! I'd never heard this before either and it's outstanding. A new treasure! I don't know if I can take all the excitement - 3 new scores (POA, Terminal, and Superman - new to me) in about 3 weeks!

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Half a treasure. Now go out and get the Rhino full score album.Well, the OST contains most of the theme and is a fair representation of the score. I'd say it's a very good first approach to it.Actually, if it were not for "The Helicopter Rescue", the Rhino album would not be strictly necessary to appreciate and love Superman. Some people (although not really me) even consider it "too much" to listen in one sitting.-Ross, fan of the OST nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fantastic score, one of Williams' best and that original album kept me satisifed for years, though even when I got it I knew a huge chunk was missing.

Trumpeteer 302 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 "Minority Report," "The Empire Strikes Back" and "AI" are always at the top.Since I really only listen to music in my car, those make for good driving music.They aren't necessarily the best CDs I own, I just prefer to hear them while driving.Jeff -- listening to music at work today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had Williams on, and I wasn't working on a Williams-related project, it would just distract me and I'd wind up listening and not working. So my study music had to be pop-ish - something I could tune out. If I had Williams on, or anything classical, I'd be riveted by it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mari 279 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Lately I've been listening to The Terminal alot, but Jane Eyre, E.T. , Angela's Ashes, Star Wars and Last Crusade are never too far away from my CD player. If you throw in the concert works though, I've made a compilation set of all the officially released works and listen to that probably more than the soundtracks.
