because the quality of his work is most negatively correlated with his popularity

Hans Zimmer does stuff with Lisa Gerrard that's always good. But he lets her do her own thing. You can't really write for her. So it's not all Zimmer.

Zimmer isn't a composer, he is a producer (of bass boosted synth slop with a lot of Reverb added on top of it).

He barely qualifies as a composer. That word should be reserved only for classical music and MAYBE jazz or some extremely elaborate popular music.

Listen to sketchbook for Dune. Up there with some his best works and works extremely well as an album. Give him time and a reason to work his magic and he can come up with some interesting stuff.

No it's John Williams

I respect him for doing what he does well, but his work is the epitome of the in-your-face mainstream blockbuster mentality that tells you exactly what to think and feel every moment of the film

My favourite contemporary film composer is probably Johnny Greenwood or Cliff Martinez
