Because Morrowind's is phenomenal and both Oblivion and Skyrims seem mediocre in comparison

So far the only notable person posted here is Jeremy Soule.
The rest of the shit here is just ambient generic noise that doesn't stand on it's own without the videogame

No, the italian guy is another musician. I think Uelmen didn't composed any OST besides Diablo and some WoW

He did the soundtracks of all three games mentioned in your post. I'm partial to Morrowind's as well if forced to choose, but I thought each one was excellent.

Honestly, western games have pretty mediocre soundtracks compared to eastern games.
