hoby12 0 Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 Oh god please let me add:Gods And Generalswhich might be the worst soundtrack of all time ---- considering its the prequel of my all time favorite score Gettysburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Possibly Pirates of the Caribbean . . . Badelt isn't really major, but I always think of it as a Zimmer score for some reason.Ray Barnsbury-who does not own any bad scores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,716 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Worst soundtrack from a major composer has to be (excluding Horner) without a second thoughtHoward Shore: CoplandA score has to be pretty bad to be worse than this. Absolutely hideous. Bought it by mistake. Listened to it only twice in the 4 years I've had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Oh god please let me add:Gods And Generalswhich might be the worst soundtrack of all time ---- considering its the prequel of my all time favorite score Gettysburg. Frizzel and Edelman are concidered major? Morlock- who think both G&G being the worst and Gettysburg being the best is lunacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,210 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Worst soundtrack from a major composer has to be (excluding Horner) without a second thoughtHoward Shore: CoplandI've only heard it in the movie, which I've seen only once, several years ago. That was before Shore's LOTR time, and I wasn't a Shore fan or anything in those days. As far as I remember, it seemed a typical "hard to listen on its own" score to me (which goes for Se7en as well, which I nowadays find very good even on CD), but worked very well within the movie.Marian - who therefore remembers it being a good score.

They're not the same and that's fine.Anyway, especially with Basil it was hard to mark one as the "worst". Here I hope "the worst" doesn't imply "generally bad and unlistenably flubby, just picked the ones I think I like the least of all I know per each note penner.With Hans Zimmer, it was tough to pick just one.

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 David Arnold -- Die Another DayCompletely agree with you. I happened to get my hands on the recently "released" boot of the score and it's quite good, despite being not up to par of the others. The score is definitely not well represented on album. Stupid Madonna extras... Anyways, even though it's Arnold's worst (that I've heard, o' course), it still ranks among one of my favourites. "Moneypenny" is beautiful. Even better than "Going Down Together" (on the album; "Diamonds" on the boot).By the way, I'm well aware Yoda said TWINE. I just happen to disagree with it.

But I will have to double check that..... I have heard it, I think Silvestri's Identity was worse. It's just the answer's going around here...opinions are fine, but concidering all the completely unremarkable and bad scores people have done- The Patriot? AoTC? The World is Not Enough? Enigma? Enemy at The Gates? Gods and Generals? Troy? Mr. Baseball? Die Another Day? Have any of you heard Daddy-o? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoby12 0 Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 Its true, there are plenty of bad sountracks.Because it's true. Handel and Monteverdi ripped off Orff too. That's how great Carmina Burana is.Seriously where would Orff have been without good old Mozart Requim or Haydn -The Creation ??? I think the Mozart is one of the firsttruly aggressive, spiritual type. Sure there are the Bach masses which are great and other pieces of opera - but mozart did something different. The Mozart Req = Beethoven 9. I think what Orff did that is really cool with burana is legit the childrens choir and using the low range of men vocalists in a barbaric sense. In otherwords the other pieces besides o fortuna. Which surely Mr. Shore had laying around during LOTR. Its a really great piece - but anything would sound good with that many people scratching away and screaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
