I really like Zbigniew Preisner and Michael Nyman -- voted for Presiner (Song for a Unified Europe is great, and I happen to love the Three Colours Trilogy). w
Other composers I really like is Shigeru Umebayashi and Galasso (listen to the In the Mood for Love and 2046 soundtracks). Peer Raben is an excellent soundtrack composer (worked with Fassbinder and also contributed to 2046). |

Oh, boy!!! There's only 25 speces to put names so excuse if I left some great composer out of the list... Anyway I really like Herrmann and Schiffrin work but... there's no space for every talented musician that I know...

 Quite.
Its like having a list of greatest directors and not including Hitchcock or a list of great composers and not including Mozart.....seriously. Completely invalidates the poll as far as I am concerned. Anyone who believes that is an exaggeration please check out this: http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0002136/ http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0002136/ Bernard Hermann is the undisputed #1. Oh and he used the theremine in The Day The Earth Stood Still so he was "prog" too.. Edited by Tony R - December 04 2006 at 18:03 |

 Wow... I really didn't know that... a hell of a score it is nonetheless. BTW did you know that Elton John was with Gentle Giant before going solo!!??... I was surprised when I found out on a brazilian prog page |

Elton John did the song.. but I'm talking about the orchestrated score... it's amazing, although the Defending Your Life score is more memorable.
Thanks for the info

You're right. Doldinger is an acclamed german saxophonist and composer. He also done the OSt for Neverending Story... Sadly his homepage is in german but it's great: www.klaus-doldinger.de  |

Michael Nyman from this list, but I voted "other" meaning Klaus Doldinger's soundtrack for "Das Boot" is just fantastic

The Muse music was composed by Elton John and orchestrated by Geoffrey Alexander Defending Your Life music was composed by Michael Gore and orchestrated by Shirley Walker. Michael Gore has done many songs for movies such as Fame, Footloose and The Fas and The Furious. |

Please, instead of Elfman's repetitive crap (if you've heard Batman's soundtrack, you've heard them all) I pick Morricone: The Mission (this would be enough, but also...), Cinema Paradiso, The Untouchables, Once upon a Time in America, The Good, the bad and the Ugly, For a few more dollars, a fistful of dollars... Please...!!!!!
