I am in the process of listening to every single Ennio Morricone album in iTunes. He was one of the most prolific film score composers of all time (I think 400 films). I came for The Mission and stayed for The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, but it's the stuff in between that keeps me in the groove.

Film scores are a big part of my work playlist. I might add that not all of Ennio's scores are hits. At times it feels like drudgery but then once in a while you stumble upon something so absolutely brilliant that it keeps you motivated. That's probably the hidden beauty in completionism… patience, perseverance, and tolerance for the mundane accented with moments of pure joy.
Exactly! That’s the fun in completionism. Also, something I’ve realized lately is that with film scores the music is there to help support what is on screen and add emotion to that, so not every piece will be or even should be a song with a melody you can sing along to. Same with video game soundtracks.

Ooh Morricone is amazing! I’d like to do this one day.
