Kind of weird that you guys didn't include Nathan Johnson's score for Looper. That one was definitely one of the best of the year as well as Paul Leonard-Morgan's score for Dredd.

Second Cloud Atlas and don't forget 21 Jump Street. A nice change of pace for Mothersbaugh.

both Cloud Atlas and 21 Jump Street were on our shortlists. We didn't want to go on forever though. But yes, Mothersbaugh very good in 21 Jump.

agreed, not putting Cloud Atlas here negates the cred of this specific 'best of'

Yes Cloud Atlas but didn't you listen to Dredd 3D?!

The Dark Knight Rises – best of this year? So, since it sounds like a near carbon-copy of The Dark Knight, I guess it's not really new. Or good, honestly. Only real gripe I have and we all know how you guys love dem gripes.

Pretty weak year for film scores imo. Cloud Atlas, Looper, Paranorman were really cool, but the most brilliant score of the year is from Ruby Sparks. I remember The Gray and this Must be the place had cool scores as well but i dont really consider them 2012 films. And yes the sounds from Jeff Who Lives at Home were lovely too.

" It might not enthrall the Instagram crowd" lol, perfect. I know a lot of people that are like, "wait, not the same hipster-lite music i like over and over again?" Grow with the guy, kids. Hopefully you're gonna grow some day too.

Ok. It's a little easy to just lump-in and say that "John Carter" is a movie that nobody liked. I love that movie – I actually saw it 3 times in cinema to see it in 3D before it was pulled. I suggest that you do a bit of reading. There's quite a bit of revisionist critiquing going on with some saying they were overly harsh towards the film. Don't just blindly jump on the bandwagon because everyone else is doing so.

Oh, yeah. I agree with you on the "John Carter" score. Giacchino's music is lovely. It's been on my iPhone and iPad since it was released.

Agree, great list. But….guys…COSMOPOLIS by Howard Shore & Metric is one of the greatest soundtrack of the year. Don't know how you can forgot that score. Also, i think that the one by Thomas Newman for "Skyfall" was good.

Oh wait, it hasn't come out in the theaters in the US yet, so IndieWire's awareness is skewed. The film broke box office history in Spain and the screening I saw blew me away. Loved the score.

And LOOPER was amazing. Very original.

You missed my favorite this year, The Caretaker's magnificent, beautifully sad score for PATIENCE (AFTER SEBALD). Guess it wasn't loud enough to be heard.
