Jerry Goldsmith vs John Williams.

This is simply a montage of pictures of Jerry and John and it does have a few pics from Star Trek and Star Wars.

If you ask me which composer I prefer I would say Jerry Goldsmith and if you ask me which score I prefer from Star Trek or Star Wars I would say Star Trek.

So who do you prefer? Also which score do you think is better Star Trek The Motion Picture of Star Wars A New Hope?

The music is as follows : (Star Trek)Main Title, (Star Wars) Main Title Rebel Blockade Runner, (Star Trek) Klingon Battle.

They are Both Masters. They are both the Best.

Hmmm...

Goldsmith: 5 of 11 Star Trek Movies, First Blood, Total Recall, Basic IInstinct, Air Force One, Star Trek: Voyager.

Williams: 6 Star Wars Movies, 4 Indiana Jones films, Jaws, Close Encounters, Superman, Born On The Fourth Of July, JFK, Harry Potter 1 & 2,

Both composers equally compelling, enduring, and truly legendary.

An even draw......no contest....it ends in a tie.

[HandsSolo]

Williams is better no contest....but Goldsmith is good

[someguy6481]

both are great composers, I like Jerry a little more because he was willing to experiment with arrangements and other instruments e.g. guitars and synthesizers and use it within a orchestral setting. Prime examples are First Blood and Rambo: First Blood Part II.

If you put a gun to my head I'd have to go with Williams. But only if you put a gun, a big gun to my head. Outside of that, I couldn't choose.

Both good, but Williams is better

[Aeolis7]

There is room for both Masters to hold this title on this planet.

@Reclaimer77 You're begging the question. You've heard only the popular stuff from Williams because it's so popular, and cite that as your argument that he "only scores the big movies." Angela's Ashes, Stepmom, Sleepers, Amistad, The Patriot, Presumed Innocent.

@avatarnarutochuck What's your age got to do with it? SERIOUSLY I WAS 6 YEARS-OLD WHEN I REALIZED DEBUSSY'S INFLUENCE. That means something?

[thegoodgeneral]

The answer here is probably a tie. I see some people suggest Williams feels classic whereas Goldsmith's stuff easily sucks them in; I feel the opposite, that Goldsmith is pretty classic stuff and great film-scoring whereas I just get sucked in with Williams's stuff, either film or concert.
