Horror, SF, funk, psych-out and kinky erotica…
What can I say?
We share exactly the same tastes…
I’m also into cheesy “electro-action” scores from the 80’s.
I may not be a man of good taste, but as they say, bad taste is a terrible thing to waste!

Horror, sci-fi, psychedelic funk, erotica, and cheesy electro-action scores from the 80's?

Well, now that makes three of us. ;-)


Least favorite: war, romance, most everything recorded before 1960 and after 1990

HAIL to ALL!

Bad taste friend vodka is a sigh (not sign) of pure genius!

I don't like to place boundaries. If the cochlean vibrations in my Spock shaped ears like what they hear, the music wins me over. A good film score I believe is good music regardless of the genre it represents. Highly logical!

Well... being a peope pleaser and having set no boundaries and all that said... who am I fooling!??? WHO-AM-I-FOOLING!??? So much for nice scores.

I WANT HELL!!!

Need I say... Horror, Italian Giallo, Sci Fi, Action, Funky-Jazzy-Groovy-Kinky, heck even Boo Doo Bee Doo Film Music.
Give me Weird-Cheezy-Avant Garde Sounding Film Scores and I'm fully erectile! I mean my ears are...

decades: 60's, 70's, some 80's

Westerns and War Film Scores are not favorite genres but again I don't close my ears to them.

This makes four of us!... :- >>>

Seri, you are most definatly on drugs my friend !!!!!!!!!! though looks like they wore off during your latter scribblings !!!!

Ant.......

:- ))) Imagine if I was! I'm always on a natural high... or low (hate it!).

Yes, I did shift the scribblings just a little out of respect for the more conservative Falwell types.

Horror, and Italian Thriller (Giallo) are the top of my list. There isn't a genre that is at the bottom. I will always buy a new horror soundtrack. Then I go by composers. Favorites first, Goldsmith, Herrmann, C.Young, Horner, Howard, Shore etc...

It's an interesting question because there are some scores for "genres" do not fit that genre. Classic example is CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST which does not fit as a horror score at all! Yet it's awesome and works within the film.

This is a good observation hammon...

Concerning ''Cannibal Holocaust'', except for tracks 2, 4 & 8 especially track 2 Adulteress' Punishment which sounds eerie the rest does not sound horror.

Besides ''Nekromantik'', Christopher Gunning's ''Goodbye Gemini" and Michael Holm's ''Mark Of The Devil'' come to mind.

I don't pay much attention to the genre (sue me!) but I generally am not interested in electronics/synths etc. which often go with sci-fi scores - and as I don't like sci-fi movies either, I guess that makes it a genre I am least interested in.

No much interest in horror either. But as said, a horror score is a varied term and I surely also enjoy some.

Many things are difficult to categorize into genre, but I can say for example that I love western scores.

Drama is a term as broad as is horror, but I enjoy dramatic scores in general a lot.

I like cartoon and children scores.

But in general a genre is not that much important for me. I don't collect genre(s), I collect music that I like and artists that I like.


I guess 'French' is also a music genre because otherwise I don't understand how someone can like everything French while refusing several genres at the same time.

Sorry David, me was too tired to recognize you at first. Now I know.

We can argue if LE GENDARME ET LES EXTRA-TERRESTRES is a sci-fi or not.

Surely Robert Hossein's LE GOUT DE LA VIOLENCE and UNE CORDE, UN COLT are westerns. There's also the CC&BB western LES PETROLEUSES and others.

Etc.

I know they're still not the real "French" genres anyway.

Goodnight !

Hello,

My favorite genres for film score music are Westerns, Action/adventures(swords,knights,and pirates type stuff) and romantic movies(Italian is my favorite) and classic epic scores.


Horror, comedy,and most drama type scores would be somewhere in the middle.


My least favorite genre would be science fiction and almost anything that has synth music as the main part of the score.

Best Regards,
David Phoenix, AZ.
