who do you think is the best music composer? (you can include games music too)

I personally love Nobuo Uetmasu (Final Fantasy) and Toshiro Masuda (Naruto)

I'd say, Yoko Kanno for the diversity of her music, especially for Escaflowne and Cowboy Bebop, then Yuki Kajiura, I love main themes from Noir, My-Hime and Gudam Seed Destiny. Songs she composed with See-Saw and Nanri Yuuka are fabulous.

Nobuo Uematsu, Yuki Kajiura, See-Saw, Fiction Junction yuuka, I've, kotoko, The Pillows and greatest hollywood composer Harry Gregson Williams =D

Yoko Kanno for me. Her work on Bebop and Escaflowne is some of the best I've ever heard. Uematsu's good, but I mostly like his game work, which isn't anime.

Yoko Kanno, i love her music n_n

======================

See ya!!

for me it would have to be Nobuo Uematsu

Anime: Kanno Yoko, Kajiura Yuki
Game: Harry Gregson-Williams (mgs), Nobuo Uematsu.

Kajiura Yuki, hands down

Kanno Yoko is my favorite. I love her work. ^^ Especially from Wolf's Rain and Escaflowne.
As for favorite game composer, mine is Yasunori Mitsuda. He composed the music for Xenosaga, Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. Everything about the music is excellent in those games. Especially his work in Xenosaga. =3

Yuki Kaijira! <3 FictionJunction YUUKA...Mizu no Akashi, Akatsuki no Kuruma, and the new Shinkai no Kodoku were all great songs from Yuki Kaijura!

...But then again, I havnt noticed much music composers other than the ones from seed/seed Destiny xD.

Yoko Kanno is also my favorite. It seems she can compose a very large variety of things. From Ghost in the shell, to Cowboy Bebop, to Wolf's Rain. Which have pretty different styles in their Soundtrack.
