To be honest, I’m not sure where to start, simply because there were so many Composers who contributed so much…

However: just off the top of my head…

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - Morricone
For A Few Dollars More - Morricone
A Fistful of Dollars - Morricone
A Pistol For Ringo - Morricone
’The Forgotten Pistolero - Robert Pregaddio
Sabata - Marcello Giombini
Indio Black - Bruno Nicolai
Johnny Hamlet - Francesco De Masi.
Any Gun Can Play - Francesco De Masi
The Stranger, Returns - Stelvio Cipriani.

As I said, there are a heck of a lot more…too many to mention…

28

As I said, one heck of a job, just trying to think of all the great soundtracks.

Simply by checking out the other magnificent nominations…I can also think of’ ‘El Puro’; ‘The Mercenary’ (A Professional Gun); ‘Return of Ringo’; ‘Arizona Colt’; ‘The Big Gundown’; ‘Navajo Joe’; 'Death Rides A Horse; ‘Once Upon A Time in the West’; ‘Face to Face’; and ‘Dead Men Ride’ (Bruno Nicolai, although it is known by many other titles).

I can add (in no strict order):

  • A Fistful of Dollars
  • For a Few Dollars More
  • Tepepa

I take it that all scores nominated will be in the poll, also those with only one nomination?

True, but it seems that only somewhere between 30 and 40 scores are nominated more than once …
