Dude I'm OBSESSED with the background music of Three's era. It's so fun and the beats and tunes always hit. I THINK this music is the incidental music created by Dudley Simpson and gee whiz it's SO GOOD.

shoutout to the city of death score for making the whole episode sound like a 70s' arthouse thriller movie

Composer Dudley Simpson, 1973.

[circular-time]

RIP Dudley Simpson, composer of soundtracks/incidental music for 277 classic Who episodes spanning Hartnell to Tom Baker, including pretty much every Pertwee story and Tom Baker up until he fell into e-space. Also Blake's 7 music including the title theme.

Murray Gold – composer during the RTD and Moffatt eras

He revolutionised Doctor Who music for so many years. New Who would honestly not be New Who without his music and if you listen to all the albums... God. And not only that, it encompasses a whole different category of film music: there are so many genres to be done in Doctor Who, from the comedic to the tragic and everything in between. And his themes are honestly beautiful. So yeah, vote!!! (@b4s1lwh0 )
