Do Ya'll Listen To Scores?

Soundtracks is a much better term for it, in my opinion. Score does work, but when someone says musical score I think of the paper that conductors have that shows what every part is playing at any given time.
Anyway. I generally don't. The only soundtracks I listen to are the ones composed by already famous composers, and the only one I can think of is all of the weirder movies Phillip Glass did.
And honestly the main reason I liked Candyman's soundtrack was because Phillip Glass used the pipe organ often.

Aww yes. Quite a bit of my work playlist is scores from movies, TV shows, games, all sorts of things. Personally, I think the How to Train Your Dragon score is highly underrated, both the first and the sequel.
People overlook a lot of great music by writing off movie scores.

Yes yes yes!
Love "soundtracks" (or scores)
currently on the iPod:
Mass Effect 1, 2 & 3
Assassin's Creed Revelations
Fallout New Vegas (some of the radio hits but I love the music created for the casinos)
Supernatural (I have a play list that's the songs used in the show but also the instrumental pieces written by Jay Gruska & Christopher Lennertz)

Why yes I do. I can't think of any (non-anime) TV shows, but in movies and games a good musical score is pretty important to me.
(Okay, not technically an original score, but screw it.)

Yup!
I probably have around ~250 instrumental pieces that mostly come from gaming but a couple from movies/tv. I most commonly listen to this stuff while playing D&D with my friends but I'll listen to it on my own while playing games from time to time.
I never listen to entire soundtracks though...it's always cut at least a bit. The closest exceptions to nearly complete soundtracks are FF6 (or FF3 for SNES if you prefer) and The Binding of Isaac.

I'm subscribed to a video game music YouTube chnnel, and I've paid money for soundtrack CDs from video games, movies and anime.
Pretty much nothing but anime and game soundtracks for a few years now. Normal music is fine but there's something special about music written and played for one specific purpose over something more mainstream.
The entire Grisaia no Kaijitsu soundtrack is on most of the time, unfortunately soundtrack uploaders appear to be gettin' shrekt by copyright at the moment. Damn anime adaptation raising awareness...
Yeah, throwin' a cold turkey at a jet plane from the seat of a supercar.

I do, but it doesn't seem often that I find memorable ones that I really want to listen to after the movie/tv/game. The last soundtrack I truly got excited about was from Snowpiercer...some of the songs from that movie were uniquely dark for a non-horror film.
It's practically the only thing I listen to. The mass effect series has the best soundtracks in my opinion.
I am usually unable to enjoy scores outside of their context, however...
I can listen to Nobuo Uematsu's music as if it were classical. The original midi-based music, not quite as much... but as someone that does musical arrangements myself I have become very accustomed to low-quality synthetic instruments such as those and honestly, as long as the composition's good I can dig it.

Naturally!
I do listen to a ton of video game score, especially the ones done by Jesper Kyd.
A few personal favorites of mine for movies were Skyfall, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Dark Knight Rises, and Interstellar. It had an amazing OST, it even has an organ! :O

Some. Over the years, I've picked up a few dozen songs from various games that I've enjoyed; the SC2 soundtrack in particular has been on every computer I've had since Toys for Bob released it in... 2005, I think? I also bought a few of the Babylon 5 soundtrack discs.
I was going to make that joke, but then you already made itTanis said:
OT: yeah, sure. I own a large number of anime and videogame soundtracks such as:
Everything from Pokemon (except X & Y and BW2)
Everything from Evangelion
Trigun
Madoka Magica
Valkyria Chronicles, best of
A bunch of others I don't want to list.
Yes I do. At the moment I am rather obsessed with The Hunchback of Notre Dame soundtrack, especially the tracks that have Tony Jay on them. That man's voice was truly magnificent.
Definitely one of the more darker Disney songs out there.
I also love the Silent Hill and Silent Hill 2 soundtracks, and I am also listening to a lot of the Battle Royale soundtrack as well. I think a good portion of my music collection is comprised of various film and video game soundtracks.
