Dude Danny Elfman is a genius. His association with Tim Burton has grossly mis-represented his awesomeness.

He did the music for The Frighteners, Leto. You know... the movie your DAD worked on?
He also did Men in Black, and ARMY OF FUCKING DARKNESS.

Most people aren't familiar with his shit outside of his normal "xylophones and spooky bells" crap that he does for Burton, but you have to understand that thats entirely Burton's influence. When Danny gets more freedom, he cranks out some seriously superb shit. Serenada Schizophrana is one of the most ball-busting pieces of contempo classic ever devised. Any modern musician that's familiar with the formula outside of fucking "guitar + bass + drums = musiclol" will tell you the same.
lol ikr, i was mainly knocking by association. it's burton/johnny who i truly have the antiboner for.

i'm more for modern classical myself though. as petty as a difference in genre tags is, it is relevant. also lovely. less dooleedooleediddle and a lil more bwwwwooooaaaw if you catch my drift. :>
