Welcome back to the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO TOP 10. Last week’s inaugural episode was such a success that I’m proud to announce that this will be a new weekly program as I take you on a journey through my film music collection playing single tracks that fit a particular theme. If you have a suggestion for a future Top 10 episode please email me or send me a Tweet with suggestions.
This week’s theme comes from Jason Drury, who wanted to hear my Top 10 favourite rejected scores. That’s a great topic but I’ll save that for a much longer episode. Instead, I decided to play tracks that were either rejected, replaced or were simply unused for whatever reason.
On the program today, you will hear music from such composers as John Williams, Dave Grusin, Danny Elfman, Georges Delerue and much more.
I want to thank all of my followers on Twitter and everyone at the Film Score Monthly message board for their invaluable assistance in helping me select the tracks for today’s program.
Please feel free to leave a comment or two in the comment section below.

Hi Erik,
Terrific idea for an already stunning show, to have these top ten shows. Here it is my idea, being a western scores lover, would you consider to arrange a top ten best western themes ever according to you?
Thanks so much,
and keep your outstanding work, pal,
truly appreciated,
best,
Asier.
P.S.: Can’t agree more with you by the way about Stranger Things, magnificent show, awful music IMHO 😉
Thank you, Asier. A best western themes show sounds great! Noted! Thanks for listening!
My pleasure.
Thanks for taking the idea into consideration!
Best,
Asier
Great show!
Top ten love themes please.
Thanks!
Noted Dimitris! This seems to be quite a popular topic and request. 😉 Thanks for listening!
The Final Battle from TIMELINE composed by Jerry Goldsmith is also a great Action Track (and score) which was not used.

Erik,
The “TOP 10 | REJECTED OR UNUSED TRACKS” and “TOP 10 | MOST PLAYED TRACKS” are the same file / show – both are “TOP 10 | MOST PLAYED TRACKS,” at least on this site – haven’t checked itunes.
Fixed. I forgot to change the HTML5 file. The flash file was working just fine. Thanks for the heads up!
I think the score from Ennio Morricone’s “What Dreams May Come” was rejected and it was replaced by the late Michael Kamen. Well, Ennio Morricone is a legendary Italian film composer and who did very well with a collaboration with your friend and collaborator Sergio Leone. They had made a Morricone/Leone partnership from 1964 to 1984. Michael Kamen was an American film composer and who did very well with a collaboration with your friend and collaborator Terry Gilliam. They had made a Kamen/Gilliam partnership from 1985 to 1998.
I have a lifetime when Ennio Morricone is alive and the one is dead was Michael Kamen. Ennio Morricone’s “What Dreams May Come” score was rejected and Michael Kamen’s “What Dreams May Come” score was completed.
R.I.P. Michael Kamen (1948-2003)
