Star Wars Theme Vs. Superman Theme Vs. Indy Theme

[Viking Spawn]

I got hard when Whedon and Silvestri teamed up.

Alright!

All three! John Williams is a legend, and I can never choose from those three iconic themes.

You kind of have to pick Star Wars

BUT why isn't Jurassic Park on the list!!??

Without STAR WARS, there would be no Superman or Indy themes. They're all very tied to the hip because Williams was on his "March" craze back then because of Star Wars -- look at his work year by year:

1978: Superman march (and "March of the Villains" track)
1979: 1941 march
1980: Imperial march
1981: Indy march

You guys should really thank "the march" for your favorite themes and Williams desire to have every high school and college band in the country play his tunes.

This is really hard to choose

Without STAR WARS,

Without JAWS. Spielberg suggested Lucas go with John Williams to score Star Wars. And it was because of the awesomeness of Jaws.

Asking between these three songs is asking a parent which their favorite child is. It's too hard. I love them all for very different reasons. I still haven't voted. I would say these are his top three themes for me but Jaws, Jurassic Park, and the Olympic Theme are right up there.

Without JAWS.

Well of course. Then again, without Irwin Allen who would John Willaims be? Irwin made him give us Lost In Space, Time Tunnel, then Poseidon Adventure, then Towering Inferno.

Truth is, Henry Mancini got Williams started, and working with Mancini back then was as good as gold.

Jurassic Park theme all the way

Actually I'd put JAWs as number 1.

I loved Lost in Space as a kid. Had no idea John Williams did the score! Weird! I learned something new. Thanks for the history in music!
