Tuesday Favorites

What is your favorite movie soundtrack or score? (You can tell us why if you'd like)

I'm limiting myself to scores, and only those that were written for the show (which disallows Cosmos, one of my favorites, but it is just a collection). I never count rock collection as soundtracks - they are just themed rock collections, just like those K-tel put out decades ago, with better marketing.

That is a toughie. A toss up between the original Star Wars soundtrack (the original release, not the "full movie release") by John Williams and Henry V by Patrick Doyle. Star Wars is pretty much what introduced me to orchestral music, and started a love of soundtracks and classical. Henry the V is just amazingly good, notable the battle theme, and Non Nobis Domine.
Honorable mentions to Battle Beyond the Stars by James Horner, Somewhere in Time by John Barry, and The Black Hole also by John Barry. There are too many that one one or two really good pieces, but the rest of the soundtrack is average.

What is your favorite album by your favorite artist/band?
Oblivion Days by the Rocket Scientists.
Hah, you thought it would be Queen CD didn't you? :D

What is your favorite music video?

Not having watched music videos for over a decade... Take on me by A-ha. Song is good, but I just loved the whole real world / drawn world thing.
