I'll include the scores for Mighty Joe Young ... - and what about the Japanese giant apes?
1. Steiner
2. Webb
3. Howard
4. Scott
5. Horner
...
...
457. Barry
So, I'm guessing Barry is at the bottom of your list, Hmmmmmmm? So who are the 451 other composers of the 457 giant ape movies made? eh?, smart-ass. 
All the Japanese monster movies with stuntmen in ape costumes, plus all the porn movies featuring men in ape costumes.

You really must have seen a vast amount of porn movies!
Sure.
"Joey: Hey, I am secure with my masculinity.
Phoebe: Oh, whatever!
Joey: You’ve seen my huge stack of porn, right?"

"Steiner, definitely. The Barry score, in comparison, is trashy at best." / response: Barry, definitely. The Steiner score, in comparison, is corny at best. / And when I saw Barry's music being referred to as "trash" by someone hiding behind "LoveRozsa" a simple phrase stood out in my mind - "Funny that!"
Now, THAT was a stupid statement.
The remarkable thing about Steiner's KONG is that after 80 years, and being one of the defining scores in cinema history, it is stunningly NON-CORNY (UN-CORNY?) when compared to many much later scores (Kong or non-Kong).

Including this one?
Exactly. It's a still from MOTHRA MEETS THE MEDIUM-BREASTED NIECE OF KONG'S GREAT-AUNT.

Y'know, I'm not precious about what everybody likes and doesn't. It's a diverse world and we all like different things.
But I do find some of the 'cheap shots' fired at popular scores puzzling, especially when those scores clearly got something going for them because they have so many fans.
It's like: it's not enough for you to have a preference, but to get your kicks you also have to tell people you think their opinions are worthless.
Unfortunately, the internet attracts that kind of person.
By the way, I know for a fact John doesn't really think the Steiner is corny, he's just making a point about cheap shots, belittlement and a bit of 'how do you like a taste of your own medicine'.
Cheers

"By the way, I know for a fact John doesn't really think Steiner is corny, he's just making a point about cheap shots, belittlement and a bit of 'how do you like a taste of your own medicine'." / PRECISELY - and thank you Stephen. I am not a Steiner fan - but that is my shameful problem, not The Maestro's. My quirks of taste aside - and aside is where such things belong - the fact remains that Steiner was a great genius and I am barely worthy to speak his name. Obviously there are some here who need to develop the same degree of respect for magnificent artists whose work they do not enjoy. Art is a privilege, not a right. If you are capable of connecting with, understanding and/or appreciating the works of a particular artist, then by all means express yourself with abandon. Otherwise tread softly and watch your mouth.
