In my usual fashion I present here a list in one of my many areas of expertise - film scores. This is for those of you looking for some inspiration, or just something to help you relax. Refute or deny as you wish, but I give to you THE top 20 tracks from an original film score in 5 categories:
If you're going to listen to any of them, listen to the #1s. If you only listen to one of them, listen to Legends of the Fall. I dare you not to not like it.
