In the 70s the fans who liked lalo schifrin also seemed to collect Roy Budd.

It's a tough one, because I'd have predicted that anyone who likes Andre Previn and Jerry Goldsmith would also like Alex North ... but apparently it is not so.

If you like Ennio Morricone you should also like Leo Nichols and Dan Savio.

I vaguely recall that I did a thread in which I bunched a lot of composers together who seemed to me to share a common denominator. I can't remember what I said now, but I'm sure I mentioned the following composers.
Hugo Friedhofer, David Raksin and George Duning.
Now, I know that there's a vast range of music encompassed in the entire output of those three, but I'd be quite surprised if anyone really adored (for example) half a dozen scores by Friedhofer and yet couldn't stand any by Raksin or Duning. But this is where you can prove me wrong!
Without getting too convoluted, I find Friedhofer often touched on an almost jazz vocabulary, even in his "straight" symphonic scores. That would overlap with quite a lot of Raksin's work, and that in turn with Duning's (who is generally considered a bit more lightweight, but I still hear a lot in common with the other two).
So that's that then.
Now playing - FSM's amazing-sounding release of Duning's TOYS IN THE ATTIC, a truly wondrous score and one of my all-time favourites by anybody on this planet or any other. Hints of Raksin and touches of Friedhofer, and - oh, I think that's a nod to Alex North's brilliant THE SOUND AND THE FURY in Track 8. And yet it's all umistakeable great George Duning. I love this score.
