Is he right? Does John Williams deserve 50 Oscar noms?
Obviously not, really poor bait
John Williams is really not that good lmao
"Classical"/orchestral movie scores are to actual symphonic classical music what smooth jazz is to actual jazz. John Williams even gets bonus points for frequently ripping off other composers.

Wrong. We already study him in my AP Music theory class (I'm a senior, mods).

That literally says nothing about his abilities as a composer, or his relevance to the world of art music.

>le the only reeel music is le atonalism serialism pomo morton feldman chance composition bullshit xD
fuck off bud
As a big fan of avant garde classical I can still admit that his neo-romantic violin concerto is pretty good.
Of course he deserves the oscar noms, the oscars are shit and they give them to all kinds of shit.

Cheesy fedoracore classical and meme shit for kids growing out of Mr. Bungle aren't the only types of music man.
If Mad Max got like 10 Oscar nominations then literally anything can.

Nice strawman, bud
I was one of the only people shitting on him.
I hate reddit but /mu/ is just garbage lately.
Every song of his is a blatant rip off of an older one. Listen to the Darth Vader theme and Holst's 'Mars', for example.

No, it should be Tchaikovsky and Holst and anyone else he rips off
Definitely not. He's pretty shit. He's only good to nerds whose understanding of music starts and ends with shitty 80s movies.
