Yeah, Zimmer being on this list for his 'theme' is just so ridiculous. My two must-includes that they left off for generic recent examples would be David Newman's The Phantom and Shirley Walker's Batman theme (choral version as featured in Mask of the Phantasm film). And from Jerry I'd rather include The Shadow than Supergirl.

The only exceptional one is John Williams "Superman".
RM, it's refreshing to see you hold Williams over Goldsmith!  I don't do it often myself (well, I'll take Raiders over King Solomon's Mines pretty much any day) and as full scores of rather listen to The Shadow over Superman, but as far as the themes themselves go, it's hard to beat Superman.

It's a crime CONDORMAN was not an honorable mention!
Hell, Eidelman's METEOR MAN was better than at least half their list!

It's always nice to see attention paid to specific genres of movie music, but it's probably too much of me to ask for a little bit more attention paid to the details. I realize that calling every piece of music a "song", whether it's Beyonce or Beethoven, is a product of our modern times, but it still makes me shake my head. And when the author of this mentions that the X2 "song" is 7 minutes long, what the heck is she talking about? I mean, did they just look at the track time of the end credits and decide that it was the X2 "song". There is so little understanding of instrumental and orchestral music techniques by so many people it's kind of sad. Everyone needs to take at least one music appreciation course in school just so they can understand how a theme or motif functions in an orchestral work, how it receives variations and interpretations along with different statements and that there isn't a "song" to identify.
And I find it odd that they couldn't have overlaid on the images the music by itself from the album? Instead they had to find clips from the various movies where the music kind of pokes through. In some examples, the music doesn't even have time to actually state any thematic material during the clip and so the entire example is lost, such as with THOR and SPIDERMAN.
