He is right there with Mozart and the like. A true GENIUS.

Danny Elfman..........

Listen to Mahler and you will here where Elfman gets his stuff from. I like him, but he needs an original thought.

Most all of Elfmans work is variations on Mahlar Symphonies.

Mozart is in a class all his own. Even Mahlar, who was a student of Wagner copied a very large amount of his work from his teacher as well as another composer of that day Bruckner.

I hear you..........
Perfection Girls.......Everyones music is influenced by those before them. To say he has no original thoughts is quite ridiculous.
But the drummer with the Devil Horn hair from Boingo , he got that from Mahler.

Well.. truefully, I had students back when I was teach compare that actual cord progressions from Mahlars 1st, 5th and 7th Symphones. All the main progressions in his Mahlars themes and choruses are identical to Elfmans major movie scores. We had both original scores side by side and some measures are the same.. note for note with identical instrumentation. Im not knocking him for doing it.. I mean its great stuff, but I would call him more of an arranger then a composer. Same with John Williams, but Williams is not nearly at talented as Elfman.

Don;t get me wrong... I like Elfman.. He rights powerful stuff and being a brass player I love it. However, if you like Elfman, go get a recording of Mahlar's 1st 5th and 7th Symphonies recorded by the Chicago Symphony with Fritz Riener Conducting. It's amazing!

MegaPussy · 12-04-2003, 02:41 PM

David Byrne, unlike many listed here, was not only able to put together some great music, he also came out with a few groundbreaking music/video combinations that he conceptualized. True Stories is great, Stop Making Sense was a work of art.

Just wanted to throw that in since someone mentioned him.

Most of the classical composers (except Bach) that were listed I would list as well.

For modern composers, I'd have to go with John Cage and Brian Eno (for his ambient compositions, not his pop productions).
