[Fmpro] catch me

[Tracey Larvenz]

I have a great deal of respect for Williams and believe that he was
the perfect composer for Jaws, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and films that
required that sort of score.  There's no doubt that he's created some
of the most memorable themes of our time.

Not a fan of what he did for Artificial Intelligence nor things that
required a particularly delicate touch and I think that those films
might have been better served by a different composer.

As an aside,  Britney - up until recently - performed in front of tens
of thousands per concert and has her "music" performed by gazillions
of wedding bands and karaoke singers all over the world.  I wouldn't
say that she's more talented than Mr. Williams.  Popularity and talent
are very different things and I don't think that either should be used
as a measure of the other.  No doubt that some of the most gifted
composers in the world will never be heard by anyone on this list.
Friends in high places, marketing and sales have much more to do with
getting your music into big films than does talent.
