The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

If James Horner wasn't available for the 1988 Land Before Time...

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.)
