*John Williams: As a classical musician, it's an occupational hazard for me to admit that I like Williams' scores. However annoyed I have been with some of his recent stuff, I can't deny that it was his music for Jurassic Park, Hook and Indiana Jones that inspired me to take up playing orchestral music in the first place. I can understand why he's heavily criticized, and at times I've been frustrated with his recycling of material, but in the end a lot of film composers recycle stuff from time to time.

See... I'm a huge fan of John Williams, and I just don't get why some people are "embarrassed" to admit they like his work, but it seems to be OK to like, say, Danny Elfman or Hans Zimmer. Yes, he's composed a few boring scores and has recycled some of his material, but who hasn't? (see: Elfman). He's done some amazing stuff, and I just don't get why it's somehow bad to like him. Perhaps it's because he's done so many high-profile scores, and therefore that's uncool? *scratches head* (BTW, this isn't directed towards you, just the anti-Williams sentiment in general).
