Like I said, I'm always surprised by what people will collectively and individually select as their favourites. Just of all the stuff mentioned and even more not mentioned, I'm surprised Vangelis not only made the list, but made the top. I guess there's going to be a bias on an electronics forum for a guy who uses a lot of eletronics, but no one even mentioned that Walter/Wendy Carlos fellow/lady who did all that Moog stuff. As for movie music, did anyone mention John Williams? You can't find a better match for Star Wars, and the guy's work is magic in itself. Despite his popularity through the movies he's scored, J.W. is without a doubt the most under-rated composer of the late 20th century in artisitic circles.
