Either Shore or Morricone. With the rest, I'm not sure if they strike the right balance the film needs.

Mainstream answer but I really don't think Hans Zimmer can miss. I'm sure he'd do great at an LBT soundtrack

I'll just throw my hat into the ring: for whatever reason I associate Peter Gabriel's Passion with TLBT. I personally think that this darker, more mystical vibe could fit TLBT if it was less geared towards children.

Same! Pretty interesting fact that he was the pianist in the music video of "Video Killed The Radio Star" by The Buggles! :olittlefoot

(Bumping this thread to see if more people will vote as the board for the 1988 release has died.)
