I guess John Williams is filed under "Various Composers."

Actually when this card was first put in, it was in the main soundtrack section. The picture Christian and I took is in the overflow bin below the regular ones. There were probably complaints about the "jokey" ones. But considering Morricone hasn't much of a following here in the US I was happily appreciative. Everywhere else in the world he is a king, which eases my isolation here in the US and, of course, guarantees his place in music history overall.
To be honest I never ever believed in a best composer or best score, any more than I believe the Oscars is the truly best anything. What it all is to me is a snapshot in time, which is why when anyone asked their "best" anything I always preface my list with "this week". All kinds of composers have been #1 in my 50 years of collecting (Miklos Rozsa, Phillippe Sarde, Neal Hefti, Laurence Rosenthal. Masuru Sato, John Barry, Frederic Talgorn, Bernard Herrmann, etc.). So I came up with my halcyon composers simply because I would be returning to them most often over their long careers (Jerry Goldsmith, Ennio Morricone,Elmer Bernstein, John Williams, Alfred Newman and now Alexandre Desplat). Actually to the point I would say these all have had a number of careers. NOT that all the others have not reached the levels of greatness they did but only they managed it more often over time.
