Favorites?

If you were to pick five composers that are your favorite, which ones would they be?

Now pick ten different albums composed by those top three that are your favorite.

Lastly, pick fifteen songs/tracks that are your top favorites within those albums.

This is a very hard exercise. There are so many different composers out there, some very popular, some you have never heard of. I think that composers for videogame scores have the strangest names compared to film of trailer composers. Not all of them are strange; some are normal.

Below are two artists that I personally enjoy, even though their names may be a little...odd.



Here is Borislav Slavov on New York Memories from Crysis 3




And here is Joris de Man on The Second Helghan March from Killzone 2




These are just some examples. These two tracks are two of my favorites, if I were choosing them from the videogames category. What are your thoughts? Do you prefer film scores? What are your favorites?
