He's definitely better than them at scoring films

What Jorge said. Also, you have to acknowledge how often the greats are borrowed from. Williams and Zimmer are incredible but they owe an awful lot to those who paved the way.

I wonder if it was frustrating to not be able to audibly record the music they made. Or did the concept even cross their minds?

Dude, legit has one the best Greatest Hits albums of all time.
I'm going to start with that. I only know a handful of his songs, I think.
There are probably several out there, but the collection called Photographs and Memories is the GH collection I grew up with and that one I fucking adore.
I've been listening to this quite a bit. I love this man's voice.
"New York's Not My Home" is such a good song. That one's been stuck in my head.

Why did I just now learn about this Natalie Imbruglia single released in 2009 that:
- flopped horrifically
- sounds like an embittered Kate Bush doing synth-pop
- was co-written by Imbruglia, the guy from Silverchair, and the guy from Coldplay
- in spite of this is actually very good
- was accompanied by a music video where Imbruglia is potentially the hottest woman on earth

They've got some solid tunes, but that name is embarrassing. It's not even offensive, it just sucks.
