It's not because i'm a Star Wars super freek but i like the Star Wars OST 10 time better than Gladiator, but LOTR at #1 is right in my book!

not that i don't like the lotr score, but i don't think this survey is very accurate.
i guess most people voted for the lotr score, because it's still fresh in their minds.
to compare howard shore to mozart etc. is imo extremely over-rated, too. mozart died over 200 years ago and i really don't see people remembering howard shore in 200 years the way they remember mozart today. maybe the lotr trilogy will still be watched at that time, but i don't think many people will know howard shore's name then.
my no 1 score would be the requiem for a dream score or star wars if i had to choose something more widely known. i also think that halloween is a classicsomebody told me you have a boyfriend who looks like a girldfriend that i had in february of last year the killers
