He might as well be the Seventh Cylon....

Which TV show has the best musical soundtrack, in your opinion?
Battlestar Galactica, without a doubt, because Bear McCreary is magical with what he does.
Seriously though, there is never a dull moment from listening to the soundtrack of that show. It's been said before but the musical score of that show was like a character in itself, many moments in the series were defined by the music that accompanied them. The absolute gorgeous melody of "The Shape Of Things To Come", the amazing battle-ready track of "Prelude To War", the melancholic feel of "Worthy of Survival", the hauntingly eerie "Cally Descends", the somber and foreboding "Something Dark Is Coming", the epicness that is "All Along The Watchtower" which is a phenomenal plot-specific rendition of the song, the absolute beautiful "Apocalypse" which is a more epic version of the main title theme of the show, that also had another version for Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome. And so, so much more, obviously, because there are four seasons (and two telemovies + two prequels) of the series, all which are worthy to be listened all the way through. Which I have, countless of times to be honest.
I can literally talk about the absolute genius that Bear did with that show all day. Listening to certain tracks just takes me right back to those specific scenes, that feeling of watching the show all over again, giving me all sorts of emotions and chills. It's so good. No other show soundtrack has ever compared, imho.

Speaking of Bear McCreary, the fact that he collaborated with Hozier for the God of War: Ragnarok game just blows my mind, and yet it's totally unsurprising. They just mesh well together. "Blood Upon The Snow" has been on repeat for days now.
In general, Bear McCreary has been getting a lot of work since Battlestar Galactica, he's practically been everywhere, from movies and television to video games. Good for him! I'm happy that he's rightfully getting the recognition that he deserves for creating such beautiful pieces of music.
