Sergio Leone was the director of many of these not the composer. For that you want Ennio Morricone who is a brilliant composer but certainly not underated.

Yeah that's the guy.
I remember now as I have the album of the theme music.

Would he be put amoung the greats though?
Or is that just a matter of time.

So who do you guys think is the most underrated?

Have to agree, Josquin was considered the greatest composer of his day by his contemporaries. The motet De profundis clamavi is definitely worth a listen.

Modest Petrovitch Mussorgsky.

Too often remembered as "That fat Russian dude who wrote piano stuff for people..."

I'd have to say Alexander Scriabin.. his pieces are genius, especially Etude Op.8 No.12 ..
