At this place? Most definitely Jerry Goldsmith. It's not for nothing that FSM is known as the "Jerry Goldsmith Fan Board" in many circles. Say one word about the Lord and Saviour Jerry the Infallible, and you risk your life.

Well at least you addressed Him properly.
If one counts all the Star Wars threads, Williams would give JG a run for his money.
As for Goldsmith's popularity, I once wondered aloud if FSM the magazine had something to do with Goldsmith's popularity. In fact, I had a thread about it but can't seem to find it at the moment.
EDIT: Ah, here it is, "The FSM/Jerry Goldsmith Connection" from 2005:
I'm just glad that there is not really any one composer or even style of music that dominates the board. It's this spicy variety that makes this board worth returning to, however many threads seem to be focused on this one or that one.
But recently it's seemed to be about Zimmer more than anyone, not in the sense of having threads devoted to him, but that he's trotted out, more often pejoratively, in the widest range of threads. As if whatever we are thinking and talking about, Zimmer is always here with us.
Well I put Jerry Goldsmith in the Search terms above within topics and got 16 pages of threads. Then I put John Williams in and got 18 pages of threads. There are threads that just say Goldsmith or Williams but that muddies the waters with Patrick Williams and Joel Goldsmith and others. It doesn't matter since I am one of those thin skinned Goldsmith defenders who somehow has manipulated the numbers here on the "Goldsmith board". BTW no other composers came even close to those two number of threads.

Brian Tyler has 3 pages.
Muddy or not, here are the thread search totals for last names (except as noted). It gives a good relative indication of the interest in various composers.
