I bought far more CDs than I realized, and I'm pretty sure I didn't get them all. And when you factor in all the classical or otherwise non-film-score CDs I purchased... that's a lot of money I could be saving for more important things. I try not to think about it...

What I('ve) listen(ed) to the most:

Amelie
Atlantis
Brazil
Final Fantasy
Harry Potter
Legend
Lord of the Rings
The 10th Kingdom

I'm still listening to LOTR the most, I think. Which do I think is the best one? I can't make that decision. In the case of a few of these CDs, I've still only skimmed the surface and have yet to listen to them in-depth.

Kirk

but that's why we all have jobs now isn't it?

The Tailor of Panama
Harry Potter
Fellowship of the Ring
Final Fantasy
Hannibal
Atlantis

Hmmmmm.....i don't quite remember...
I do remember though that most of them where Goldenthal scores....

"Of the soundtracks you bought in 2001,which one are you listening the most?"

All scores by Elliot Goldenthal.

np:Michael Collins(Elliot Goldenthal)************/*****

Of the soundtracks you bought in 2001, which one are you listening to the most?.
All the Pretty Horses

Or, of all the soundtracks released, which do you think is the ultimate very best one?
The Mists of Avalon (Holdridge)

Oddly enough, the CDs I played most in 2001 weren't new ones. For some reason (I forget what), I kept a tally of what I listened to, and these are the top end results.

3=: AIR FORCE ONE, DEEP RISING, EXECUTIVE DECISION, THE FURY, THE MATRIX, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2 (score).

2=: ALIEN, SOLDIER.

1: RENT-A-COP.

What? How did that happen? Rent-A-Cop!?! I can't explain that one at all...

I've finally completed my Miklos Rozsa scores collection. I guess my neighborhood is listening them to the most. LOTR also, but it arrived only in december.

"One Ring to rule them all", my prrrrecioussssss...

The one I listen to the most? Don't know, but I'm continually drawn to Final Fantasy, though I don't know if it's the best.

The best? Don't know, but I'm continually drawn to Final Fantasy.

Np: Band of Brothers (Michael Kamen)
