Favourite Music Score (in Michael's films that is)

[westfall]

1. Transformers 1+2 (Steve Jablonsky)
2. Armageddon (Trevor Rabin)
3. The Rock (Hans Zimmer/Nick-Glennie Smith)
4. The Island (Steve Jablonsky)

Armageddon was my favorite 'till TF came out and in some respects it's still better than TF but the scales are inTF's favor.
The Rock is one helluva roller coaster ride. The Island is great, especially "I'm Lincoln", love that track. I haven't ranked the others because i haven't really paid as much atention to them.

[HarryCanyon]

Yes Transformers has the best score in a Bay movie.

[matthew]

oh my god! in the ROTF score there's a track called Heed Our Warning.
what is this? everybody says during the Fallen's Broadcast, but no.this music is a joke. It's not in the movie.but! They left some really awesome tracks like Prime enters Shanghai or Escaping from the Warehouse and of course The Fallen's Arrival. This Track is a joke too! so short...

[Bayhem]

"Heed Our Warning" is, unfortunately, another unused track. But thank God that it's part of the score album, because we're talking about a very atmospheric music.

[Bayhem]

Why I almost crashed my flippin' car into a tree?

0:40 to 1:41 - that's why! ( hope you have a good sound system )





I was so into it that I forgot I was driving a car ( I know, I know...guilty as charged ). That's one of the most intense tracks I've ever heard and easily one of my favorite scores. When Michael works with Rabin, you know you'll end up with a mind-blowing score.

My favorite will always be My Name is Lincoln from The Island. I love how it carries the whole escape sequence to the final shot without a single word being spoken. One of Bay's best endings.

That track is actually called "Burn Around The Moon/Goodbye Independence" in Armageddon: The Complete Score.

I love em all.
All different movies, different vibes with it = just great!

All great music Albums and Scores.

[BAYsplosions!]

Honestly its hard to pick a single favorite score from any of the films since I like them all and I dont really have a complaint about any of them. If I had to pick a favorite I'd say it would be either The Rock or Pearl Harbor.

[Z.T.L.FIRE]

I don't know my most favorite but I do know my least favorite; which is Pearl Harbor. I think the entire score was absolutely mismatched. In fact at some points it reminded me of Titanic.

I do wish that movie focused more on the Arizona and the actual bombing of the Harbor rather than all the soap opera crap in between.

No i think it was a awesome movie Pearl Harbor its a great thing Michael added that Romance story to it, its perfect for that time and its very hard for us here in Western Europe to relate with those situations between the US and Japan because its to far away for us and we have our own WWII history and experiences here in that time and that story did work great because of it, the movie had my full attention and i understood it better... the whole Japan and US thing in WWII. Also because of Flags of our father, Letters from Iwo jima and The Pacific (wich was not better then Band of Brothers.)
It was and still is a great movie to watch and it was a perfect cinema experience movie, and i wanna thank Michael Bay for it! IMO

Thank you Michael!

I have a question...does michael bay pick his movies Soundtracks and stuff?

[I Fight Giant Robots]

I think head our warning was the broadcast.
my favorite song from the first one is 'Sam on the roof'
at one part the song is awesome!

and from the second one, i liked NEST. with new divide instrumental mixed in that was pretty cool

haha one minute, you're just croozin' in your car, and the next thing you know, your gliding off into a tree! haha

I have a question...does michael bay pick his movies Soundtracks and stuff?

The scores for his films are basically part of his overall style. His movies always have that very specific "Michael Bay sound" - choir, bombastic Zimmer-esque percussion/drums, female vocalists ( like Lisa Gerrard and Lisbeth Scott ) and of course huge orchestra. So yeah, I guess the answer to your question is yes.

O_o I never said it was a bad movie - I just didn't like the score or the soap opera. See if fast cars are Bays vice, mine are fighter jets and aerial battles - WW2 was the EPIC of all aerial battles. Also, looking back now at the CGI it actually looks pretty dated.

[warhorse]

Transformers. The arrival of the Autobots in particular. I had to take one of my little cousins to a figure skating match in Orlando for the juniors, and one of the other skaters used it for their program, and since then, I became a fan. Prior to that, I was in love with the instrumental version of "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing".

The Island beginning, and Bad Boys 2 beginning round up my favorites of MB movie scores.

Oh, I found someone doing a piece from Transformers, and thought I would share. I thought it was quite lovely.

[Bayhem]

Love it.

[evergamer]

That is fantastic. Arrival has been my favorite track from the score since the minute I heard it.

[martita]

the Rock
transformers
armagedon
the island

[marshan3q]

I really like "The Island"'s score, out of all the Michael Bay films I've seen (which is all of them except Bad Boys 1 and 2) it's probably my favorite. I really like the "Transformers" score. Pearl Harbor and Armageddon's scores are nice. I really like them all to be honest, but if I had to pick a favorite score, it'd probably be "The Island".

Slightly off topic, but you have got to watch Bad Boys 2. That movie, is truly, one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. The action is just a bonus, and it also has the baddest car chase scene in a movie as well. And you don't have to watch the first one to get the characters in this one.

[Jarek Zabczynski]

This is a trick question, Bad Boys II had no score.

I'm still heartbroken the film lost Mancina. It just was't Bad Boys without his score.

I really gotta finish my re-score sometime.

Ugh...Bad Boys isn't supposed to be "funny." Yes, there was humor in the first film, but it wasn't a comedy and that over the top.

I love the first film dearly. I really wished the sequel was more in the style of the first. It lost so much charm and character.
