Thank you Peter! Ok, based upon my understanding thus far, here is my theory of the evolution of the word "score"...:) It sounds like all of them are technically soundtracks and the term "score" is used as a sub-category. Or is "score", akin to the term "vegan", which is an extreme form of...

Vangelis' "Themes" CD contains two tracks from "The Bounty", which only whet my appetite for the whole thing. I would snap it up in a heartbeat. I thought I knew what the difference between a soundtrack and a score is, but apparently I am wrong. I always thought that the score was the...

Agee, Thank you for posting a verifiable link to an established critic. That was what I was looking for. Randy, The proof I wanted was in response to your claim that "most musicians and critics" think Williams is a hack, because you know what you think, but how do you know what most other...

I enjoy the LOTR:FOTR score, but it is nowhere near my favorite. I wish at least one of the following would have appeared somewhere in that list: 1.) Total Recall (Jerry Goldsmith) 2.) Conan the Barbarian (Basil Poledouris) 3.) The Omen (Jerry Goldsmith)
