Thomas Newman is a favourite of mine.
Owen King
He's exceedingly influential, has trained a ton of understudies, and genuinely has a lot of good soundtracks under his belt.
At the same time, he's also responsible for anything and everything you could dislike about modern OSTs.
Christopher Bennett
bland generic background music.
name a Hans Zimmer tune you can whistle.
protip: you cant.
Dominic Martinez
Main theme to interstellar.
Christopher Allen
The reason it's generic is because he pioneered the sound.
Austin Ross
its ambient background noise, this barely even qualifies as a theme. sounds like a 12 year old playing 4 notes on a piano.
try again.
Cooper Carter
>It's only good if it's catchy
Chase Bailey
you can swap a zimmer soundtrack from one movie with another and nothing changes. his only soundtrack that sticks in peoples minds is the Lion King and thats because it was mainly written by Elton John.
Zimmer is the very definition of a hack.

Rain Man.
Robert Jackson
He's not the best because there is no such thing, but he's definitely one of the best, as he brings unique takes to most of his projects, not the traditional John Williams sound even though they are about the same age.
Nolan Jackson
I was absolutely blown away by the soundtrack and the atmosphere it created in Interstellar. Perfect match.
Jackson Young
Why can his music be swapped with another?
Maybe because he defined the sound that everyone then copied?
He has an entire army of understudies at Remote Control Productions that he trained and collaborated with, and helped get them off their feet. That resulted in a million different composers copping the "Zimmer" style of music.

LoTR is probably the greatest trilogy of film scores ever written.
Shame about The Hobbit.

Zimzam's style dosen't lend itself to whistling, but I can easily sing Time, Launch, Beautiful Lie, and Superman, Lex Luthor and Wonder Woman's themes with dun dun dun noises.
Benjamin Perez
Don't mind me. Just posting GOAT composer.
Ayden Ross
he was great as the detective in The Night Of
Hunter Turner
Name a better TV soundtrack than Lost.
The only acceptable answer is Battlestar Galactica.

it's literally , physically impossible to make a better OST for these scenes
Dominic Cox
He's the only composer that is doing something really interesting and different right now.
Xavier Young
He's not even fully musically literate. For fuck's sake he just dabbles around on keyboards and has real musicians write it down for him and orchestrate his stuff.
Landon Cox
>implying the Last Samurai, Thin Red Line, Interstellar and BvS soundtracks are even remotely similar.
James Gonzalez
>this music that sounds good isn't really good because the guy who composed it can't read music very good
???
Mason Cooper
The fact that he doesn't fully orchestrate his stuff is what makes him important.
He does the vast majority of his work through synthesizers, which allows for quick editing, and that's what directors and producers like when it comes to smoothing out productions.
Levi Foster
And it is rubbing off on other composers. The music in "The Girl on the Train" sounds so much like "Gone Girl". Danny Elfman did the soundtrack on that movie.
Blake Anderson
I'm gonna be honest, I don't hate his movie stuff, but a lot of it can get grating if you listen to it for too long.
He put out like, a three hour album for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and trying to listen to that in one go just will put you mentally in a weird place.
Juan Fisher
Pirates of the caribbean
you know why
Jose Johnson
that's jogi löw though
Joseph Bell
He makes movie OST? His vidya soundtracks are just kind of thete
Isaiah Turner
For fuck's sake. I'm a BSG fan, but the soundtrack is lame as hell.
Jaxon Parker
...
Ayden Ward
I can definitely see that being the case. I'm a big fan of NIN and his other music in general, and I've had trouble sitting through some of his soundtrack work, like the Quake and GWTDT soundtracks. But usually what happens is that, after a few tries, something ''clicks'' and then I'm loving it.
The best way I can describe his music is that every choice seems weird, but inevitable. Once you've listened you can't imagine it sounding any other.
Robert Lopez
What dude? Do you only remember All Along the Watchtower and the drums? BSG 2003 had a really great soundtrack.

Joseph Lee
Fucking this. Zimmer is as pleb as film composers come. He has really fucked up the world of film composing with his influence. Steve Jablonsky is better than him.
Josiah Long
>They are about the same age
There's literally a 30 year gap between their ages.
Juan Bennett
>Do you only remember
>a song written by somebody else
>and
>constantly, predictable drumming
Andrew James
Exactly, is that all you remember?
I linked you to a bunch of other stuff.
BSG's soundtrack is more than drumming. It's got a really wide range of instruments and themes.
Ayden Cooper
His best is clearly Thin Red Line
Samuel Scott

By the end of season 4 I'm pretty sure they had a whole orchestra, too.
