May I ask why? The best music in the PT soundtracks rivals that of the best Williams made for the OT. I can understand as to why someone would say don’t watch the PT but equating the music to shit just because the movies are is kind of ridiculous.
I should have typed “I never listen to the others”. I was not saying it as a suggestion. You see, I was just never very interested in getting the PT soundtracks when they came out. I only saw TPM on opening day and kind of stayed away from the merchandise and other episodes all together after that. Well Until TFA that is and I still have not picked up the soundtrack for it. There are a lot of decent soundtracks I don’t own and can not rate. I first started collecting soundtracks over 40 years ago (“Jaws” by J. Williams was actually my first soundtrack album, and I think “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” was my 2nd.) and the original trilogy soundtracks and films were new and fresh at that time of my life. Films and collecting tie-in merchandise had also been a major part of my life back then. As I got older my interests and money drifted to other things, so I stopped collecting soundtracks as a hobby in the late 1990’s. Every now and then I will get one if it’s truly amazing, but I just don’t delve into soundtracks as I once did. I think moving my massive collection of albums and CDs around the country three times had a lot to do with my giving collecting soundtracks up. And yes, just because I don’t like a film I still can enjoy the soundtracks. I LOVE the soundtrack to films like “The World is Not Enough” and “Krull”, yet I loath the films they are from. I just can’t rate soundtracks I am not too familiar with.
