Top 10 Scores & Tracks

If someone asked you to name your favorite top 10 score and which track was the best to you, what would you choose?
These are the first for me that came to mind, in no particular order. See what you come up with, and thanks for playing along.

01. King Of Kings - Miklos Rozsa - Overture
02. Edward Scissorhands - Danny Elfman - The End
03. Face Off - John Powell - Face On
04. Halloween - John Carpenter - Main Title
05. Duel Of The Fates - John Williams - Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
06. Born On The Forth Of July - John Williams - The Shooting Of Wilson
07. Conan: The Barbarian - Basil Polodouris - Battle Of The Mounds Pt.1
08. Close Encounters Of The Third Kind - John Williams - Wild Signals
09. The Omen - Jerry Goldsmith - The Dogs Attack
10. Matrix: Revolutions - Don Davis - Why, Mr. Anderson

When you are done, take the top 10 and make a cd and listen to it. Does it make for a great cd?

Thanks, have a great day.

Absolutely impossible to narrow faves down to 10 so much less naming tracks. I'm not going to name tracks but I'll take the easy route by being an outside player and start off with some sort of an answer to your question by naming fave scores quickly off my head.

As of today: The Omega Man/Airport 1975/Serpico/The Final Conflict/Halloween(all)/Bram Stoker's Dracula/Coma/Hellraiser(all)/Dangerous Liaisons/The Omen, probably The Dogs Attack if I remember correctly is one of the best tracks and faves also/Basic Instinct (oops that's 11)... and all the other beloved myriad scores you're making be unfair and unjust to... :- (

Sorry... Do you wanna play hide and seek? :- )))
I'll give you a head start!
