Twincam Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 [quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1467740981' post='3085823'] Walking On The Moon [/quote] Has to be. For a recognisable song. I'm also thinking billy jean but not for its first three notes. Certinly for the first 3 notes around the world it must be walking on the moon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 So we've had a song instantly recognisable from the first chord - A Hard Days Night... Instantly recognisably song from the last chord...? Bond Theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorR Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Reading the OP again, and much as I love Peaches, I suspect that Mr B has a slightly over inflated (and tongue firmly placed in cheek) view of his place in the pantheon of music... Sad to say, if you asked the average man on the Clapham omnibus to hum a song by the Stranglers it would be Golden Brown 99% of the time, not Peaches or No More Heroes. Ah, the curse of an uncharacteristic mega hit! Just ask the Toy Dolls or The Dickies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the (terrific) now classic Korngold scores, along with Steiner/Newman are considered the originators of the Cinematic scores. Without doubt, JW was influenced by them, along with the great Symphonies of course. Those type of scores started to vanish from the big screen, but JW at that time really did bring 'Epic' back to life and then others followed on etc. The two eg's you posted, to me, we're always little bit too close for comfort There is a good Podcast over at iTunes.
