Default Favourite Argento composer?

Here's a question and a half.
Of all Argento's films,who is your favourite composer?

Which of his soundtracks do you rate most highly?

No multiple choice I'm afraid.....

Certain tracks of Morricone's scores for CAT O'NINE TAILS and FOUR FLIES are absolutely beautiful,but the Simonetti chap just edges it.

Suspiria aside I'd have to say Morricone. Suspiria is definitely my favourite but the scores for the animal trilogy are consistently great. I love Four Flies the most but Bird is pretty damn specially too.

It is a great score.

I need to get on my pc to vote but there's no need to guess what mine will be!

Don't get wrong,IMO Morricone deserves (And always will in my book) to be in the same league as the great classic composers such as Mozart,Tchaikovsky,Beethoven and the like.

He's the only film composer who's work, I believe, is as good as that of the classical composers you mention. He's amazing!
