Thank you for the easrecommendations.
As you can see in my top 10 in the other thread I mainly aim for symphonic or melodic film scores.

Both areas where I would claim, Zimmer is not good at.
And obviously he doesn’t have to be. People are hiring him for something else.

And Hans Zimmer usually works in styles which are either completely outside my taste or where I prefer respective excesses from original pop or rock artists. Just like some fans of orchestral music might prefer Stravinsky or Elgar over John Williams.

Basically it is about the music itself. The fact, that it is used in film is secondary. Still that leads often to weird musical comparrisons between composers like Hans Zimmer and John Williams which make musically as much sense as comparing Metallica to Prokofiev. Of course it is possible to compare both musically.
But the argumentation why I should like Metallica when I like Prokofiev might be vastly difficult.
