It’s just an attempt annd hard to limit it. The positions after 3rd are more or less random…

And that was the reason for my high Goldsmith ranking. Yes, he wrote great scores. But I am not a huge fan of his 80s and 90s super reverb synth heavy sound.

I generally like Goldsmith best until mid-80s. The 80s synths can really be hit and miss. TOTAL RECALL is to me the last really great score. There are some good ones in the 90s but they pale against the others for me, too.
