Probably Ghidorah more because its much memorable than the Mothra vs Godzilla score to me.
Posted: Mon Sep 14, 2009 11:10 pmIt's a tough decision between Mothra Vs. Godzilla and Monster Zero. I've always liked MZ's score and find the rousing marches to be the best in the series.
Mothra Vs. Godzilla, however, seemed to have a bit more of a variety in the tunes. But the rousing tunes of MZ end up putting it over the top for me.

but I'll go with MZ.

Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2009 1:37 amMothra vs Godzilla has to be the one that I would have to select. Not that the other choices on the list are bad mind you, they're also very well done.
Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2009 1:13 pmPosted: Tue Sep 15, 2009 2:13 pmI would have to say Ifukube's soundtrack to Mothra vs. Godzilla is probably his "best", with Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster and Monster Zero being very close behind. However, if I had to pick my personal favorite, it would have to be Monster Zero, by far. I love the "Electromagnetic Capsule" theme used in the intro to the U.S. version, and all of the themes in the film are fantastic, and IMO some of the best in the entire series.
Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2009 3:38 pmGrr...this is definitely a tough choice. I can't really choose just one. While I know I'm in the minority here, I find "Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster" to be one of Ifukube's all-time weakest scores. Not that it's terrible, mind you, but it just seems to pale in comparison with the rest of his work. The others are all fantastic, but as for the best score overall, for me it's a toss-up between "Mothra vs. Godzilla" and "Monster Zero," with "Destroy All Monsters" and "King Kong vs. Godzilla" not too far behind.

All of these are fantastic scores though.
