favorite score

Mine I'd have to say is series 5.

I like each score for various pieces, but I really have to say the specials because you have some really good tracks that just really convey the emotion of the moment. Especially "Four Knocks" from EoT, which is such a somber piece yet really loaded with emotion. Then you have "A Special Sort of Bus" a good cheerful piece, and for me as a writer "The Time Lords' Last Stand" really helps with a few good scenes I have in mind.

I can't pick a favourite out of them all. I have this playlist on my iTunes where I've taken the best out of each series and put them there. So, based on track count alone... series 4, easily. But it wins for some of the most moving pieces ever like "Song of Freedom" and "The Greatest Story Never Told". However, I think one of my favourite pieces is actually from the third series, "Boe".

I like the Specials as well and there's only two tracks from Series 5 that I'll listen to. Everything else is just, I don't know. I have to give it time. I blame that more on how the score was produced on cd rather than the composer. Suites vs short, boring tracks would have been nice.

I had to pick 3, only because it has "All the Strange, Strange, Creatures" and "Gallifrey...", and I seem to listen to those two tracks the most. Series 4 has some seriously awesome stuff on it as well. Very close, but I'll go with 3.

Those are awesome pieces too! I was really torn between series 3 and 4 because of those two tracks as well! But for me, series 4 had my favourite theme for the Doctor, the Voyage of the Damned Suite, A Dazzling End, The Dark and Endless Dalek Night, along with A Pressing Need to Save the World.

I wish they'd make the scores like they have in the past. Combine it, make suites, stop tearing the scores apart; it ruins the effect.

All of those tracks are reasons why I had a hard time picking a score myself. I like "Madame de Pompadour" and "Doomsday" from the series 1 and 2 score, and of course, all the tracks listed in the previous posts from the other scores.

Suites are always nice too. I like having those because it combines several themes, and really makes it more worthwhile to listen to compared to a short single themed track that is more boring than enjoyable. Sadly very little from series 5 score has been enjoyable. I have two, maybe three tracks total that I liked from series 5.

ooh, I forgot about "Doomsday"... I absolutely love that one
