I have a preference for the old stuff.
Eric Wolfgang Korngold
Dimitri Tiomkin
Miklos Rozsa
Elmer Bernstein
Henry Mancini
Bernard Herrmann

It does not mean there are no good ones today, it just means I don’t watch the newer movies.

Fair question.

I recommend buying as little as possible from the major MSM music companies. When doing so, be frugal and download individual songs.

Explore older stuff. There is so much available from the entirety of recorded music history nowadays.

Current product is not the best, although there is always the rare good stuff.

I appreciate and support you love of the classics, as do I, I think “Aria” in Citizen Kane is one of the best and Ennio Morricone is one of the best ever.

I have everything from Elmer Berstine, Jerry Goldsmith, Hans Zimmer, Bernard Hermann, Ennio Morricone, John Williams, etc.

I think to just dismiss Howard Shore without listening is your choice, but is not legitimate to call it junk.

I’d add James Horner, although he does recycle a lot of his stuff. But across his spectrum (pickie-choosie), he does weave spells.

w, thanks for the ping.

I hear you relative to those greats. But think too that you’re missing some pretty great modern scores.

IMHO of course.

I haven’t heard most of them, but based on Radiohead’s previous work I’m going to take a listen to the soundtrack from ‘Inherent Vice’.

I have one word to say about Coldplay:

Computerliebe.
