He's the GOAT and an Iconic Legend. You also have to remember he did a lot of great theme's for NBC too like the Nightly News, Meet the Press and even Sunday Night Football. The man's music is so amazing he's like a modern day Mozart. There are other great composers like Bill Conti (Rocky, Karate Kid) or Alan Silverstri or Hans Zimmer. But John is the GOAT, his scores were just as important to his movies as the actors and director's were. Steven and George both owe a large portion of their success to John Williams. But he's getting older and he's starting to fall back. I hope he does "Star Wars Episode VII" to start off the new series. This was the last theme I was feeling from him:

His Discography is literally untouchable at this point. He' dropped 130 scores and albums. Insane:
