our favorite scores are subjective. cannot be otherwise. because we are we.
there is not objectivity. cannot be with the way the music hits us.
John Williams' music will always be my favorite music but I cannot expect others to feel that way.
Of course that doesn't mean there are no other composers.
Enjoy what you love and to hell with top whatevers.
I agree. You would think that by this time anyone who goes to make a list like this would realize how masturbatory the whole thing is unless it's framed in an interesting way. How about:
50 Film Scores That Deserve Your Attention 50 Underappreciated Film Scores 50 Great Scores For Non-Hollywood Films
In this way you acknowledge the usual suspects while saying "but we're going to talk about something else." The pretense toward curating a definitive list is off putting, and more than a bit silly.
