I just wanted to get this off my chest. Whose music do people think is better? Howard Shore's (LotR music)? Or Hans Zimmer(PotC music)?
I personally think it's Howard Shore's music... and i'm not just saying that because I'm an utter Tolkien-nut! Be honest on this one. no matter how much other Downers will hate you for it. ![]()

Yes. Hans Zimmer is the man behind Pirates of the Caribbean music. i debated with myself for a long time over who's was better(I'm sorry to say being the Tolkien fan that i am). i also thought for an even longer period whether or not to submit a thread about it here in the Downs. I also think that i should have clarified.

Just because your a LotR fan doesn't mean you can't prefer other people's music more. I would have to watch it again to be able to answer, but I think that it would be incredibly difficult for anyone to best Howard's work.

It's a no brainer- although I don't much like Jackson's films, Shore still writes very respectable scores (albeit not without some misjudgments-- whereas Zimmer has for years been churning out ponderous, bombastic schlock.

I like both, because they fit with the movies.
LotR music has this kind of glorious, legendary sound, just like Star Wars music and fits with the great battles. In PotC I like the adventurous theme, it goes well with the story and the period when the action takes place.
