You say that, but every single announcement of his death has had the theme from Chariots of Fire playing.

This is so iconic that it’s hard for me to comprehend that someone made it and it is “just” a song. Like if I went to ancient Greece and someone was playing this on a lute I would just accept it straight away.

[u/unrealmaniac]

I agree.

also I love the version from the London Olympics

[u/the-bejeezus]

Bring me my bow of burning gold

Bring me my arrow of desire

Bring me my spear, oh clouds unfold

Bring me my chariot of fire

I shall not cease from mental fight

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand

Till we have built Jerusalem

In England's green and pleasant land

I really like the stuff he did with Jon Anderson from Yes.

The Friends of Mr. Cairo will be one of my forever jams.

Conquest of Paradise is also very iconic and popular.

[u/RBilly]

I agree. Since Bladerunner is the better movie, however, ya gotta go with that.

Source: saw both movies at around the same time, & only one was boring as fuck. Catchy piano riff repeated endlessly throughout, though.

His "Heaven & Hell" album is one of my favorites.
