the question should be rephrased to "what's your favorite star trek score and why is it Wrath of Khan?"

[4815162342]

Wrath of Khan an obvious #1.

 

Then The Motion Picture.

 

Then Undiscovered Country.

 

Then First Contact.

 

Then Trek 09.

[ddddeeee]

Wrath of Khan, then Goldsmith's original.

Wrath of Khan, then Goldsmith's original.

 

TMP is nearly saved by that magnificent score alone.

True, I guess this poll is sort of anti-climactic. I guess I was mainly curious how many of our younger members would pick Giacchino's ST score over Horner's Khan and where it ranks. Also, I love Eidelman's UC score so much, I was wondering if it would even get a pick. It was such a departure for the series and has remained that way.

The ironic thing about Horner doing Star Trek II is that when he did the score for Battle Beyond the Stars(Before he hit it big), he ripped off a bunch of Goldsmith's ST:TMP score. Yet, not much of what Goldsmith laid down is evident in the score for Khan(save some use of electronica--like the beam).

I'm gonna be the odd one out here. I'm going to chose The Undiscovered Country

 

*Voted as I listen to Wrath of Kahn on Spotify*

Here's a neat, if narcoleptic explanation of the beam instrument used in the early ST scores(especially TMP):

favourite Star Trek Score?? 5 out of 5 is the best score surely

[Master Scottb]

I voted TMP which I thought was the highlight of the movie.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

Looks like there were actually some votes for films other than Khan.

Well, I'm going to be the exception and vote for First Contact. That main theme is sublime.

One of my all time favourite cues. Whatever happened to Eidelman....

[Kathemy]

The Undiscovered Country, easily.
