Closer to 3, but in a very non-linear fashion, going from era to era, continent to continent.
For instance, I've just only begun to go through Zimmer's stuff and even though it isn't a natural fit, he remains an impressive force to be reckoned with, in particular with regards to his earlier music.
And even though I'm an avid Silver Ager, Maurice Jarre has only been on my radar for the past four years, but what great years of discovery and delight.
Furthermore, I'm quite grateful for labels such as Movie Score Media for introducing me to non-US film composers.

Exactly. I buy what I like.
Y'know what, the way it's been set up, everybody's going to perceive themselves as a 3.
But so what?
Honestly, I really don't get all this angst about what type of collector you are, whether you are going to buy 'X' or not, whether you sort your CDs by title or composer, and silly double-binds like "you like what I like or you are a charlatan".
I sometimes wonder if film score collectors the most neurotic people on the planet.
Don't answer that!!!
Cheers

A 1. 50's 60's & 70's are the decades I love, but I'm not a collector. I buy the scores I love & they can be few & far between. I love films as much as soundtracks, maybe more.

This for me:
2. Those who prefer post Star Wars scoring (the 80s rule!) with little or no interest in Alfred Newman, Franz Waxman, Dimitri Tiomkin etc.

I'm a #3, but am partial to gold and silver. I have to like the scores from current films before I buy them. Certain golden age composers are no-brainers for me (Rozsa, Newman, Waxman,
Herrmann, Tiomkin, E. Bernstein, etc.) Silver age composers I love are Williams, Goldsmith,
Horner, etc. The more recent composers I like are Desplat, Badelt, Zimmer.

I am willing to give anything a few minutes of my time, if I don't like it, nothing is lost. If I like it I got a lifelong musical friend.Not to have done, OH what a pain at the end of our roads.

TCSC: Re your: Reading over Basil's Gunfight At The O.K. Corral thread, it becomes clear there is a divide among collectors:
1. Those who prefer the Golden and Silver age with little or no interest in Hans Zimmer, Michael Kamen, Bruce Broughton etc.
2. Those who prefer post Star Wars scoring (the 80s rule!) with little or no interest in Alfred Newman, Franz Waxman, Dimitri Tiomkin etc.
3. Those whose taste may veer toward one or the other but, on the whole, embrace film music from all eras.
I consider myself a 3. I have everyone from Max Steiner and Alfred Newman to John Powell and Alexandre Desplat in my collection.
And you?
I like to think that I'm a #3 and feel that it has less to do with what's in your collection than what you actually listen to the most these days. While I have a lot of movie music from the late 30s through the 40s, I rarely listen to much of it anymore. Yesterday, after receiving Max Steiner's "Those Calloways" the day before, I listened to hours of Steiner -- "Casablanca," "Gone With The Wind," "The Treasure of Sierra Madre," "A Summer Place," "Parrish," "Rome Adventure," and more. But I also have a lot of John Ottman and John Powell and Carter Burwell and Abel Korzeniowski and Cezary Skubiszewiski and others to go along with the usual (and almost required) Elmer Bernstein and John Barry and Bill Conti and Randy Edelman and James Newton Howard and James Horner and Maurice Jarre and John Williams and too many others. My SOUNDTRACKS playlist of favorite music from films (1 to 6 cues from each favorite soundtrack) runs 18 hours.

Actually, now that I think about it, I don't just buy what I like. Sometimes, I buy something that I have no idea whether I'll like or not, but I take a chance just because I'm in an experimental mood. There are times that I buy something I'm pretty sure I will like, but end up not liking. Other times, I buy something that I think I probably won't like, but I give it a chance and end up loving it. All eras, all styles, all composers...I'm all ears.
