Who should have made the soundtracks if Ramin Djawadi wasn't an option?

My first choice would be Hanz Zimmer, who is a genius... I wouldn't want Howard Shore - I'm afraid that might sound too much like the LOTR soundtracks.

If you don't know who Hans Zimmer is you can see his greatest hits here:

(He has made some music to Inception, The Last Samurai and Pirates of The Caribbean...)

If not Hans Zimmer I would choose David Arkenstone. Here's some of his work:

Who would you want if you couldn't pick Hans Zimmer?
