After two years I am back. I was just wondering which composer that is considered excellent you somehow don't particularly like? My choice is John Barry. I have heard many scores by him but they don't give me the satisfaction I expect from somebody with his NAME! What about you?    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 12:35 PM     By:   random guy   (Member) I wonder how much arguments and bickering this thread will give birth to    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 12:41 PM     By:   Steve Johnson   (Member) The day is young....    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 12:44 PM     By:   Morricone   (Member) NONE. Even those I have some problems with, let's say Alex North, once I explored a lot of his career I not only understood why he is revered but found some of his work I have come to treasure myself.    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 12:51 PM     By:   tobid   (Member) Don't dare to name my choice, as he is everybody's darling on this board. You probably get the idea...    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 1:07 PM     By:   Mikhail   (Member) Don't dare to name my choice, as he is everybody's darling on this board. You probably get the idea... I.

Harold Faltermeyer?    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 1:11 PM     By:   Morricone   (Member) Don't dare to name my choice, as he is everybody's darling on this board. You probably get the idea... Don't be shy, every composer has detractors. Goldsmith always had his, Morricone has a lot and I know a boatload of Williams haters. They don't need to be universally loved to have earned their reputation as masters. In fact Herrmann got close to being universally hated. Not as a composer, of course, but he went way beyond curmudgeon as a human being.    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 1:41 PM     By:   Mikhail   (Member) Don't dare to name my choice, as he is everybody's darling on this board.

I know for example that Franz Waxman is a great, but I don't dislike him. He just doesn't register as much on my radar like a Miklos Rozsa or Bernard Herrmann does.    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 2:15 PM     By:   Tom Barnaby   (Member) Don't dare to name my choice, as he is everybody's darling on this board.

Others being Barry, Herrmann, Elfman, Broughton and North.    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 2:30 PM     By:   Membership Expired   (Member) Korngold, Steiner, Waxman, Tiomkin, Badelt!    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 2:34 PM     By:   tobid   (Member) Don't be shy, every composer has detractors. But just look at Goldsmith's army: Klingons, at least one other alien, killer bees... hell, even the dark lord's son himself.    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 2:35 PM     By:   tobid   (Member) Badelt! Hmm... didn't really think of him when I read the thread title... Just wondering why???    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 2:39 PM     By:   Membership Expired   (Member) He's very popular in certain circles    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 2:41 PM     By:   KeoNato   (Member) John Williams. The man is talented no doubt and has written more great themes than any other 2 composers combined, but still, his style often seems too derivative. You know the joke: snare roll, cymbal crash. Not really a fan. Also, Hans Zimmer. Again, too derivative.    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 2:48 PM     By:   BlanketyBlank   (Member) Well, here goes nothing... Everyone under the sun gushes about John Corigliano, the guy wins awards every time he comes down from his high horse to write a film score, but I have never clicked with anything he's written. I like ALTERED STATES well enough in the film, but just about everything else... bleh.    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 2:53 PM     By:   Stephen Woolston   (Member) Not that I'm a fan of focusing on what you don't like ... Well, John Barry is my favourite composer by a mile. I'm a huge fan of certain types of Goldsmith but I strongly dislike other types of Goldsmith. I don't like most of the "new" major composers, like Zimmer, Ottman, etc. Cheers    Posted:   Aug 14, 2007 - 4:13 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) Korngold, Steiner, Waxman, !     General Discussion: GREATS YOU DON'T LIKE    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7
