What about movie composers. Most "serious" music these days is written for the screen. Of the modern composers I favor, a sizeable chunk compose movie scores.

Jerry Goldsmith wrote some great scores: The Sand Pebbles, The Blue Max, Planet of the Apes, and Basic Instinct are among the best.

I could list a whole bunch of other composers: John Barry, Bernard Herrmann, Ennio Moricone would be good places to start. I could compile a very long list...

Here's a special classic for our younger Skippers. Enjoy your summer, stealth!

Hey Celeon, nice theme selection with The Doors - Strange Days.

That reminded me of another one with the Strange Days theme:

And, since I've entered John into the fray, let me add this one too. Definitely one of my favorites:

Serious danger of a flashback comes along with that one. So if someone among you has a respective 1960s background you might consider skipping that one.

**WernherVonTrapp** · 06-06-2011

OK, I'll keep it in that arena for now with a Vietnam era classic by the Buffalo Springfild, fronting a very young Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Richie Furay and Jim Messina.

Later on, these guys would leave to found Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young/ Poco / Loggins and Messina -AND- Neil Young & Crazy Horse.
What a lineup, huh?

When music really was, still music.

**Celeon999** · 06-08-2011

How can we talk about Vietnam era music without mentioning him and this song. Impossible

**WernherVonTrapp** · 06-08-2011

Now, that truly is a classic, Celeon.

How 'bout these:

OK, without intention, but rather inevitably, I'm getting specialized here. I assure you though, I listened to and enjoyed these songs even way back then. Anyone remember these?

What scares me about these videos is that the people in them all look a lot like my parents on old photos which show them at my age.

The clothes overall, those flared pants but especially the haircuts
