Luke Skywalker 1,285 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 If true, it would be sad.How many albums do they have? 5? 6?Luke, who thinks this is the fault of lesser beings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTennisBallKid 11 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 A quick search at Amazon reveals that you could probably buy every existing copy of all their albums for less than Towering Inferno is going for on eBay.ttbk Mag 7 Elmer Bernstein (original recording)He lives on through his music....which will be said of JW, but probably not about the Backstreet Boys...

David Coscina 3 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 More importantly, who cares? Roald, you come up with some pretty strange threads. We all know Williams is a far more significant composer/musician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandor 459 Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 Yeah, thanks Steef! At least one here enjoys my approach. So what if I don't do another "Your favorite non-Williams themes"-thread or a "Best Flying Themes"-one (oh wait; I did do that one I think...)BUT I created some classics threads over at the Trek BBS a couple of years ago. Among them were:- "Are we nerds?"- "Why are Trekkies so humorless?"- "Would you have sex with an alien?"- "Is it ok to kill a hologram?"And also on this board I delivered some alternative threads:- "Will John Williams ever score a zombie film?"- "Is John Willliams sexy?"- "WOTW: I've got a bad feeling about this"Expect more of this shit in the future guys.

Greg1138 2 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 BackStreet boys are reaching around the 55 Million mark......given tha Star Wars alone has sold more than 4 Million I begin to doubt the ligitimacy of this rumour.........if it's true, it's sad.....

Docteur Qui 1,248 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Well not really. Backstreet Boys were pop. You know, pop meaning popular. Teenage girls + twentysomething men = record sales.The beauty about scores is that not everyone listens to it on a regular basis - but they have heard it. It's unavoidable, as most people have seena t least one movie in their lives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandor 459 Posted February 26, 2005 Author Share Posted February 26, 2005 ....if it's true, it's sad.....I know my humor is seriously flawed and sometimes reaches the borders of utter sickness, but I started this thread trying to be sarcastic. I was amazed how many people were upset about the thread stating that Horner may have sold more copies than Williams. I thought: "So what! The Backstreet Boys have sold more albums than John Williams! What does that mean anyway?" I wasn't serious starting this one. Ok, it probably gets locked down now. So be it.

Chris ChrusherComix 27 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Hence what I've always said... art and personal tastes are things that are not readable by standard means... popularity especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane 1 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I for one love Roald sheer panic threads. Yeah, thanks Steef! At least one here enjoys my approach.At least 2...put me in! I love your paranoiac threads. And like Masters use to say, "it's not quantiity that counts, it's quality!".So, the less-seller JW album is million times better that Backstreet Boys' best-seller.
