    I am immediately going to deviate from the norm by saying John Williams is not one of my favorites. They are...

    1. Jerry Goldsmith
    2. John Barry
    3. Bernard Herrmann

    I had a hard time choosing #1 because I adore John Barry's romantic melodies, but the spot must go to Jerry Goldsmith simply because no two of his works sound alike. Who would think the composer who wrote the soundtrack for Planet of the Apes is the same one who wrote the music for Alien? I don't have a specific favorite, I just love their work in general.

    Let me know what you think. Here are some examples from each composer.

     

    Jerry Goldsmith

     

    John Barry

     

    Bernard Herrmann

     

    On Dangerous Ground was reportedly his favorite score   Sounds just like his work for Hitch
