Justin 2 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 What are your top dozen favorite scores? In other words how do non-Williams scores relate to Williams? Is your favorite non-williams score no. 53 in your overall list? Or is it battling for first place? If you crashed on a desert island and could only take a basket with 12 scores and a CD player what would you bring with you? Take to your lists people. 01. Raiders of The Lost Ark (Williams)02. Star Wars (Williams)03. Star Trek - The Motion Picture (Goldsmith)04. The Empire Strikes Back (Williams)05. Superman (Williams)06. Star Trek II - The Wrath Of Kahn (Horner)07. Dances With Wolves (Barry)08. Back To The Future (Silvestri)09. Conan The Barbarian (Poledouris)10. Batman (Elfman)11. Night Crossing (Goldsmith)12. King of Kings (Rosza)Justin - In a list mood...

Morlock 11 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I was really surprised by how impossible to answer I found this question to be. This is a list that I would not stand behind in open court, and one subject to constant change, and one that does not answer what you wanted to know. But here's a very limited selection of scores always worth mentioning off my top 75 score list (it goes without saying that this is in no particular order): The Rock Patton The FuryThe Empire Strikes BackHarry Potter & The Sorcerer's StoneThe Last CrusadeHookSchindler's ListThe Phantom MenaceSchindler's ListPsychoThe Good, The Bad, And the UglyDragonheart One interesting observation I've made- It's striking how much I love, respect and appreciate Goldsmith, seeing as there were only 3-4 scores I even concidered putting on this list. Another observation, unrelated: Horner is sickening. I'm trying so hard to like the guy, but he is in a way the worst film composer in history. And in another way, one of the greatest. WHY CAN'T I JUST HATE HIM IN PEACE? WHY MUST HE TORTUE ME BY BEING SO GOOD, YET SO BAD AT THE SAME TIME? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 you talk about Horner and you put on a score by zimmer, who is in everyway the worst there is, he makes Horner look like a God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 WHY CAN'T I JUST HATE HIM IN PEACE? WHY MUST HE TORTUE ME BY BEING SO GOOD, YET SO BAD AT THE SAME TIME?Because it's frustrating. He clearly has the talent, he's just lazy.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaphor123 0 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 In no particular order, I present my list. Williams makes appearances in three of the twelve slots - more than any other composer (in fact, no other composer appears more than once). Williams has some competition for the top spot, though, as my favourite score of all time is really only my favourite score of all time temporarily - The Ten Commandments, Edward Scissorhands, Flowers in the Attic, Superman and The Boy Who Could Fly have all been my favourite at some point.The Ten Commandments - Elmer BernsteinThe Boy Who Could Fly - Bruce BroughtonFlowers in the Attic - Christopher YoungSuperman - John WilliamsE.T. - John WilliamsJurassic Park - John WilliamsEdward Scissorhands - Danny ElfmanSuspiria - GoblinSigns - James Newton HowardGone With the Wind - Max SteinerThe Bride of Frankenstein - Franz WaxmanKoyaanisqaatsi - Philip Glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 of what. I own more Horner scores than I do Goldsmith(on CD, I have tons of Goldsmith on record), so I am a fan. Zimmer is to filmmusic as rap is to pop music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 A very debatable analogy there. Anyhoo, have fun with your Horner. I'll have fun with my Horner and with my Zimmer. Whatever takes your fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean1700 4 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I am really surprised at the number of members who dislike for Horner's Titanic. I think this is an absolute marvelous score and I would rate it highly. It's a shame that there is not a "Complete Score" availableI'll jump into the fray with my 12:Star WarsEmpire Strikes BackSupermanClose Encounters of the Third KindTitanicGettysburgLOTR-Fellowship of the RingLOTR-The Two TowersIndependence DayBattle Of BritainGladiatorConan The Barbarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridan 0 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 If you crashed on a desert island and could only take a basket with 12 scores and a CD player what would you bring with you? I would take a Battery powered boom-box and then I would take:01: Gladiator (Hans Zimmer), because the rescue boat or plane would be more likely to hear a loud, bombastic score.after that, I would take LOTR, SW, and IJ.
