It’s due to your lack of Elfman love. 🙂

Thank you for this. I guess I don’t HATE like John Williams, I’m just way too tired of his music. It’s very much so overplayed. (at least where I live. :s)

I know what you mean, but there is a lot of more John Williams music then his most well known pieces, which unfortunatly the public doesn’t even know that Williams composed.
In the last year i have made a compilation of Williams music that i shared here, which on purpose i haven’t included his famous works like Star Wars, Indy, Harry Potter, etc.

If you listen, then i’m sure you can find a few gems there.

Thanks for the compilation, but the 2nd Disc is removed because lack of use. You might want to re-upload it.
