C'mon, you guys are forgetting about the greatest of them all;
DANNY MUTHAPHUCKIN' ELFMAN The Nightmare Before Christmas?!?!?!?!? Geez, I could go on and name his many success, but you know what I'm talking about.
James Newton Howard= badass!!What else can I say about this guy, he is a real musician who writes his own stuff. He only had two weeks to write King King after Howard Shore was kicked off the film by Peter Jackson... crappy film too!
Hanz Zimmer need not have his name in the same list as Goldsmith!!!!?!?!?
What were you thinking? The other 20 musically trained professionals who orchestrate, MIDI transcribe, score, arrange and such need to be mentioned... good luck finding their names anywhere.
Maybe on the CD insert in a -50 font. At least they're getting paid serious money to keep the wizard behind the curtian looking/ sounding good.
John Williams, yeah good, but because he rips bit and pieces from every other Romantic composer and calls it
his.
I also agree with you about Queen doing the FLASH soundtrack, it rocks my flippin' socks off!!
