The music in Romero flicks add to the horror...

Sure, one or two good ones out of ten or eleven. Well, they aren't all great. But a good 70% of them are! And the ones that are pretty shoddy aren't included in the film after all.

As for what music has aged the most? Only in the recent year I've introduced lots of people to the music of Goblin, and they all liked it. Infact, most of them came back and wanted CDs with them. So I guess the answer would be "Library"? It must be a regional thing dude.

I have to agree that I think some of the library tracks have aged worse overall than the Goblin score.

That's becuase most of the library tunes are overly melodramatic... As music was back then. I mean, in the 70's I can imagine that music being alot less out-of-place than it is now. These days, those very same tunes are used on kids programmes (Yes, I've actually seen/heard it it! The Hero-Bravado music especially) for... more or less the same comic effect.

I remember hearing parts of the library music that was in Creepshow (Jordy walking back home with the meteor in the bucket) on an episode of Gumby, also some of the NOTLD was used in a 60s biker flick called The Hellcats.

I can't say I like one more than the other. I'll agree the U.S. theatrical cut had a nice blend of the two while the Extended and European cuts over used what they had. Although I would say I prefer the library music to the Goblin stuff. I like Goblin and I'll occasionally put it on in the background while I'm playing a computer game or something, but to me the library stuff works because the music is set in a mall in the 70s. I just think it helps the atmosphere because you would be a little more likely to hear the library stuff in a mall than you would Goblin.
