Movie, TV Fans Remember Best Genre Composers
By Behind The Scenes TV on Jun 4, 2008 in Film Scoring/Movie Soundtracks

Iconic composers of classic adventure, sci-fi and horror themes have mournfully passed on, causing many to look and listen back to what was. But, it’s important to recognize their accomplishments — along with the ongoing contributions of composing giants still with us.
The following is a list of the all-time great genre orchestral composers, living or dead, and their landmark music. It’s not a ranking. It’s not a competition. If you feel someone was left off the list, please kick me in the backside via the comments section and include them for Wired.com posterity
