My daughter and I were eating out tonight and she said "oh mom, I have to show you this list I found on YouTube today". She was very animated and she was adorable as she tried to find it on her phone. It turned out to be a YouTube channel called "WatchMojo.com" and they specialize in top ten lists. She, being of the young 20 something generation who is tethered to the web via a second umbilical cord (not detectable at birth), wondered if I had ever "heard" of these 10 composers. Of course I had and all of us here have but I am sharing the link so you can share a chuckle along with me. I have to give the narrator 10 points for enthusiasm. Here you go:

Well, that was very interesting and rather controversial. I'm sure most of us would disagree with the ranking of some of these composers. I know I do, but it was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

Well I hope they never do classical music because they just credited Morricone with Saint-Saens's famous 'Aquarium' from Carnival of the Animals because it was used it Days of Heaven. Sigh.

Yeah. Guess we should be even grateful that Elmer got an honorable mention and that Jerry made the list! But no Miklos Rozsa? Silvestri at #5? What??

Agreed, Yavar. I really like 9 out the 10 composers listed, and I own many of their scores, but I would never had put Goldsmith and Morricone at 9 and 10 behind Shore, J N Howard (who is my favorite living composer), Zimmer, Silvestri or Elfman. And Elfman as number 2? I am not knocking these composers. They are good to excellent, but the placement or ranking seems odd to me. IMHO Of course, I would have had Bernstein in the group. Also Rozsa and Alfred Newman.

Also, is seemed like the video had Goldsmith composing the songs in Mulan which is odd.

I did like that fact that the narrator heralded the variety of scores each composer composed. She showed their versatility for scoring various genres.

This video just shows one person's personal taste or preference and that's fine. We all do that.

So agree with you joan. A postscript to this story. After my daughter and I went over the top 10 in the video, she shook her head and said "I can't believe that Alan Menken isn't on that list!". This coming from a kid who owned and watched every Disney movie out there!

Silvestri at #5? What??

Yavar

I'm glad he's included for a change. And what is it with the hipsters and Danny Elfman? I personally wouldn't mind to see this top 10 reversed. FSM Board: Forgive me - it's not my "Mojo" (63)

Well if you begin film history in the mid 70s, as the clips reflect, then it is a good list (Herrmann and Morricone tossed in for some sort of respect) which fits your daughter's generation. But film history began much sooner. Maybe you can add Korngold, Steiner, Rozsa, etc. with some of the rerecordings for her so she doesn't think they composed with tinny sound. It mightopen her eyes. But I understand being slow to absorb things like this Mojo woman. I just realized edwzoomom was a lady.

Not a bad list. I'm surprised that David Arnold wasn't at least given an honorable mention. His scores for Stargate, Independence Day, Godzilla and others are awesome.

I don't agree about Hans Zimmer being the "best" composer today. I mean ya his earlier works IE: Lion King, League Of Their Own, Cool Runnings and such are good but for me personally most of his today's works IE: Batman Trilogy and others are nothing but noise and gives me a headache.

Yeah, much as I like David Arnold asking for him to be included before John Barry is kinda funny...I'm shocked the latter didn't even get an honorable mention like Bernstein did. I mean, c'mon...Dances With Wolves and the Bond films alone should have kept him in the radar for the current generation...not to mention great classics like The Lion in Winter!

Also, since it is "Top 10 Movie score composers" and not "Top 10 Hollywood score composers" I would've thought perhaps prominent composers Nino Rota (Fellini? Romeo & Juliet? THE GODFATHER???) or Georges Delerue (Truffaut?) could get a mention...

Well, I try to be a lady most of the time but lose it occasionally FSM Board: Forgive me - it's not my "Mojo" (98). Anyway, I did introduce her to Max Steiner awhile ago when we sat and watched Gone With the Wind. She was hooked. She has had a dose of Bernstein from watching To Kill a Mockingbird of late. She actually brought up the list again today stating that if Jerry Goldsmith wrote the score to Mulan then he deserves to be number one on the list. This movie has stayed with her since 1998 and she still watches it at least twice a year. The music is a huge part of it for her. It sounds like her eyes have been opened I believe.
