Don’t forget about Howard Shore and Lorne Balfe. But speaking of most memorable scores, LOTR is the gold standard for me. Star Wars is incredible and Williams is great, but LOTR is my favorite score ever. I could hum every tune for days on end. But also, I really love many scores without memorable themes. I absolutely love Zimmer’s Dune score. To me, it perfectly captures Arrakis and what the photography shows us. I feel like I’m there hearing the rhythm of the desert, and even though it’s not as memorable as my previous favorite Zimmer score Interstellar, it’s damn impressive and majestical to me.Also, I'm kind of exhausted of people saying "I love all these other themes" when what they really mean is "I love all John Williams' themes". If we're going to compare the MCU to Williams, then lets compare everyone to Williams. Where is the Fast & Furious franchise theme? The Wonder Woman theme? And so on. Williams is peerless, but others are doing great work as well, and their work should be compared to their peers. Zimmer is a good start, so let's talk Goransson, Giacchino, Newman, Desplat, Newton Howard...where are everyone's most memorable themes?
