Although he's more famous for his conducting, I do enjoy the scores Bob Cobb has composed.

Some really good answers here, lots I haven't heard of. I like DeputeyRiley's suggestions in particular, Daniel Licht has been impressing on Dexter for years and I love his gypsy-ish score for Thinner. Marcus Trumpp did great work on the Mesrine movies with Vincent Cassell, but I've not heard of him since aside from a few credits of Beltrami scores. Boris Elkis' score to The Perfect Getaway is one I really enjoy, it's a shame he doesn't appear to have done anything since.
for my answer though, I'll have to go with Rolfe Kent, as I always do on topics like these! Such a wonderful gift for melody and texture, he's written some magnificent stuff, much of which is unreleased (Election, Citizen Ruth, Mean Girls, the Last Shot, Sex and Death 101, Failure to Launch, the list goes on!)

You speak the truth, maximus_rh! I thought Boris Elkis was the best new/emerging composer (at least stateside) I had heard almost since the turn of the century. I love his score to A Perfect Getaway. So rich, evocative, fresh, and modern. Glad someone else likes it, you may be the first person I've encountered who digs it.

Also, Mark Kilian is quite underrated. Loved his score for Carpenter's The Ward, which to me, like Elkis and A Perfect Getaway, was the powerful announcement of a very talented composer to watch.

I love animated films and shows, but the composers often get overlooked:
Scott Bradley (early Tom & Jerry, Tex Avery)
Dean Elliott (Chuck Jones' late 60's Tom & Jerry, Thundarr the Barbarian, and other Ruby-Spears productions like the The Trouble With Miss Switch)
Johnny Douglas (Transformers, GI Joe, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends)
Shuki Levy (He-Man, She-Ra, tons of other 80's shows)
Finally, I will mention another very underrated live-action composer:
Craig Safan (The Last Starfighter, Remo Williams)
