Not too bad?... Well, I don't want to spoil this little party some people have for the last five years but... Suppose it's 1994. .. But it isn't! I already started a thread about how good the 90's were in comparison to the first part of 00"S ! brm

After years of lurking on the boards, this topic made me register! My top ten of the half-decade, by the number of album plays in my iTunes list: 1. War Horse 2. Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey 3. Lost: Season 6, The End (TV) 4. John Carter 5. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (VG) 6. A Million Ways to Die in the West 7. The Book Thief 8. Captain America: The First Avenger 9. Cloud Atlas 10. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Honorable mentions: How to Train your Dragon, The Adventures of Tin Tin, Lincoln, Star Trek Into Darkness, Monte Carlo, Skyfall, Game of Thrones (Season 1), Inception, The Karate Kid No, it's not the glory days for bold, thoughtful, and memorable orchestral scores but I'm hopeful that the pendulum will one day swing back in that direction.

I've been collecting film scores since 1972 and the majority of them originate in the 1960s - 1980s. Excluding new releases of old scores (such as the wonderful Mister Moses - this month), I have the following new scores in my collection (of approx. 2,000 scores): - Inception Zimmer (2010) ... probably the worst of my dozen or so scores by this modern master - The Social Network Reznor/Ross (2010) ... truly awful - Baaria Morricone (2010) ... okay, but not a patch on his wealth of earlier works (I have > 300) - Doctor Who - Series 5, Various Gold (2010) ... okay, once in a while - True Grit Burwell (2010) ... a score I can't remember the second it ends ... I must watch the film one day ... - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Arnold (2010) ... well, it was cheap ... - W.E. Korzeniowski (2011) ... very enjoyable, ignoring Madonna's warblings ... - NCIS Kirk (2011) ... not nearly as enjoyable as the TV programme - Matka Edeniin (A Journey to Eden) Gaigne (2011) ... easily the best of the bunch, so far - Skyfall Newman (2012) ... very, very poor and, in comparison to the first 22 (24): an abomination - Best Offer, The (La Migliore Offerta) Morricone (2012) ... far more involving than Baaria but still not in the class of so many prior works - Amaren eskuak (Las manos de mi madre) Gaigne (2013) ... good but not in the class of Matka Edeniin (A Journey to Eden) So, no, I can't agree with your statement. Yes, I should acquire more scores so as to find those hidden gems but the wealth of great music from the last 500+ years attracts my dwindling savings with far more vigour. Mitch
