I feel like John Williams got the bigger tracks but I like Hanz versatility

I bump hanz's music way more than John's. I like Hanz music for superman more than John's tho.

John's work on SW and Harry Potter on some other s***

Pretty much this. John will have one track more memorable than half of a Zimmer album

A better comparison would be Hanz and Ramin Djawdi

John Williams is one of the GOATs for sure, but Hans Zimmer’s scores are seriously just on another level

Two of the most pretentious people on YouTube

it's the first time I'm seeing their videos, why you say that?

I go for Williams as the SW soundtracks are wild.

Binary Sunset, Duel of the Fates, Across the Stars, Battle of the Heroes, Anakin's Dream, Padme's Ruminations, Anakin's Betrayal, f*** it. The entire ROTS soundtrack>>>

I like Zimmer too tho.

They’re the kind of a classical musicians who are on that “rap isn’t real music” throne

oh

they did say "if you are a classic musician" like 5 times in this video so I guess you're right lmaoo

nah, they're not. rap just doesn't transform that well into it being played by anyone else but a vocalist who uses words.

and Prokofiev is million times better than John Williams (or Hans Zimmer).

Hmm I may have been mistaking them with someone else, but I’m pretty sure they made some weird comments about Lizzo a while back and caused this whole s*** storm at my university lol

Agreed though. Russians just do it so much better.

haven't seen every video they've made. In the videos I've seen it was more about rap songs being extremely monotonous when played as a normal music piece without vocals than discounting rap as a musical genre.

John Williams

Tbh I agree to that to an extent...I mean have you ever seen the videos of Chief Keef with an orchestra? I mean the premise is cool but it almost always falls flat lol

No offense when I say this but I intended this thread to compare these two all time great MOVIE composers to each other since they're considered by most to be the best of their time. I'm not tryna compare or act like I know about composers from the early 20th century & s*** & this is not to knock the other OGs & GOATs (Ennio Morricone, Nino Rota, Bernard Herrmann etc)

To me its Williams because of all the iconic scores he has under his belt.

Lets not forget to throw in James Horner as a GOAT

JW of course

Ludwigs been making a career off aping Zimmer

"Hans is completely original and single-handedly invented modern film scoring"

Williams for sure

Williams.

Morricone better than both tho tbh.

Williams iconic
