All one note of it! 
I find this a funny comment because all these reputable film composers all get weak in the knees around a "real composer" like Glass, and secondly have all copied him at some point.
A "real composer" ? Meaning ...
Uh huh.
Ninja, please.
I'm not saying I believe in such things...but I'm talking about when people like Horner would refer to "real music" ("absolute music", "concert music") I use concert music myself but really it's insufficient because of course one can play film music nowadays.
Philip Glass is Elfman's hero. Williams is on record as thanking Glass for doing more than just flirting with film music and showing a real commitment to it (as a serious composer). Glass gets to have it both ways. When he goes to Hollywood he's the "serious" composer moonlighting in a commercial pursuit. When he's in New York he's seen with suspicion as a "commercial" composer.
But the fact remains, regardless of what you think of his music, his influence is everywhere from Elfman's Alice and S.O.P., to Williams' A.I., to James Newton Howard's Signs and The Village, to Horner's Beautiful Mind and Spider Man, to Desplat most recently in Grand Budapest, Davis's Matrix scores, etc etc etc.
The road doesn't go the other way. I can't say any of these composers have made their way into Glass's music.
