This may come as a surprise, but I voted for the BBC soundtrack. I absolutely love the music in those TV movies. LWW and PC soundtracks were ok, but there were very few parts that really moved me musically during the movie.

I'm going with the BBC ones as well. LWW and PC were good, but the BBC were more original and unique.

I can't decide. Some songs I really like on LWW, like Lucy Meets Mr. Tumnus and The Battle. But then again I really like the unique 'Telmarine' sound to the PC soundtrack.
And, I really like that BBC song that played at the beginning and ends of the films, brings back memories of watching it as a kid and has a very Narnia-feel to it ;)

This was seriously a hard choice. I loved the LWW soundtrack and when I first heard the PC soundtrack I got all emotional because I was overwhelmed with how amazing it was... But I voted for both because both were just spectacular and I can't decided which is better.

They both had their pros and cons. I think I voted both because I loved 'The Battle' and "Return of the Lion" so much (at least, the part with the water god).

I like Prince Caspian the best. To me it captures the magical feel of Narnia. :)

I enjoyed both soundtracks, especially some of tracks on the Prince Caspian one, (The Return of the Lion and The Door in the Air, to be specific), but all in all I liked the LWW soundtrack better. I found myself wishing at times the tracks for PC had been....more original. I guess I feel that there was too many of the LWW themes in PC...I know it's important to tie the two films together in some way, but....

Alas, I have not heard the BBC soundtracks aside from in the actual mini-series, so I can't say I remember them in particular. The theme song was really nice though and it does bring back memories. :)

I loved the LWW soundtrack, and the PC one, while not better, was at least as good as LWW. They're both so beautiful...I think LWW might be slightly better but I loved certain tracks on PC so much that I picked "both." Journey to the How is, to me, the equivalent of Evacuating London. :D

I voted for the LWW soundtrack... I enjoy the score more, but I prefer the songs on the PC soundtrack. That isn't to say that I don't like the songs in the LWW soundtrack, because they're awesome, they're just so close :)

Well, Miss Aravis, I'm exactly the opposite! I like the PC score more, but I like the LWW songs better than the PC songs. (Though one PC song happens to beat an LWW song...)

I personally like them both! THere are different things in each of the LWW and PC soundtracks that I like about each. Harry Gregson-WIlliams has weaved the thems of LWW into PC very well and added more new thems into it like Prince Caspian and Reepicheep's theme (which I wish was on the CD, but alas it is not).

I think that they are both very good soundtracks. I have not heard the BBC ones, but I put that in the poll because I wanted to see how popular they were in the NarniaWeb community.

I loved both LWW and PC's soundtracks and that's what I voted for.
Although I gotta admit that the BBC movies have terrific soundtracks, even though the rest is dated and not always entirely to my liking. Of those scores at least I can't say nothing bad about- they were great.

The BBC soundtrack was very good, even though I don't like the series I stilll hum the music.

However I voted for the LWW soundtrack. Tracks like The Battle, Father Christmas, and A Narnian Lullaby moved me very much emotionally.

The Battle really thrilled me when I first heard it and I still love it. Father Christmas is a lovely piece of Christmas music that's great for this season. And the lullaby (a bit ironically) sends chills down my spine every time I hear it.

The reason I didn't vote for PC was though it kept the old theme, it depended too much on that theme and typical 'epic' soundtrack themes. It didn't have unique touches like the "Oh Danny" 1940's song in the LWW soundtrack.

I would have to go with both the LWW and PC soundtracks. Not so much that I absolutely love every single score and theme from each film, but the fact that I like a sampling from both soundtracks. There are tracks that I don't really care for on either, but there are an equal amount of scores that I really enjoy and just scream Narnia to me.

And hey, what's with the 1979 LWW not being on the music list ;) ? There are a few themes from this version of LWW that I feel are very Narnian and that I really enjoy listening to as much as the recent scores.
