I made the mistake of listening to the first one about The Phantom Menace, and made it to the part where the one guy thought John Williams wrote "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana. I'd much rather listen to us idiots talk about this kind of thing than people like that. C'mon, Jimmy.

I was thinking his confusion could have come from being part of the Napster/iTunes Generation, where all the artist tags for something like Summon The Heroes are John Williams no matter what. Either way, come on, man!

I think I see your point (e.g. when all of the songs on Born on the Fourth of July say Williams or everything on Apollo 13 says Horner). But isn't Summon the Heroes by John Williams?

Indeed Summon the Heroes is by Johnny, as are two other tracks on the Summon the Heroes CD. But all of the other tracks on the CD, by several other composers (including Carl Orff's Carmina Burana) likely come up as "artist: John Williams" in various CD databases, of course.

It's true - in the Napster days, you'd see plenty of "Gremlins Theme by John Williams," "Back to the Future by John Williams," etc etc etc. Those people who would download such a thing, but would never pony up money for a disc of film score music, probably carry that wisdom into the modern day.

I think the standard for Williams compilations on those databases is to list something like "John Williams; the Boston Pops" as the artist, and to hide the actual composer elsewhere in the metadata. Used to drive me crazy, but not as crazy as changing the info on every track so I've just come to accept it when I rip a new CD onto my hard drive.
