John Williams should be forever recognized as the undisputed goat of soundtracks

[Rhapscallion Démone]

The only people that can compete with him is probably Danny Elfman or Quincy Jones. John's work is untouchable

 

[Booker T Garvey]

He is among industry insiders, he ain't sold enough dope for the general public to really grasp his genius

I was listening to the Hook soundtrack last week and you listen to his compositions you start seeing the actual scenes play out from the movie

I hate star wars but I can't deny that soundtrack is a masterpiece especially the force awakens.
you can just feel the adventure.

 

[EBK String]

He is the only movie soundtrack person I know and most others know. No one is competing with him for the title.

 

[Luke Cage]

He's a modern day Beethoven, but people won't truly grasp that until he's gone.

 

[Won Won]

Don’t forget Jaws, Jurassic Park, Close Encounters, etc. etc.

Its because he actually writes leitmotifs, kind of like unique melodies that build associations between characters, places, themes etc....shyt sometimes they even merge..

But the trend towards minimilist composition (Zimmer) kind of killed this wave and melody in general when it comes to film music.

Ennio and Williams are the Goats.

Hans Zimmer is getting up there.
