Of course, most pop music too, but I assume we're mostly talking about art music / concert music pieces. I will say I often get fairly bored when listening to pre-Baroque / Renaissance / medieval music. To me, it's more of a history lesson than something I actually enjoy. I like Zimmer's soundtracks. For what they are, they generally work well as music for films. perhaps my standards are lower in that context. I'll admit I find the Gladiator soundtrack very catchy. In my opinion, the finest example of a soundtrack in regards to both popular appeal and high degree of originality and quality of music in their own right is Bear McCreary's music for the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series. Not a single mediocre track in the lot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't particularly like 1812, but if there is one piece that everyone else likes and I don't, it's Vaughan Williams' The Lark Ascending! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
