Sharon Alexander lol, no he is not a "phenom". This guy is below average among his peers. He just has connections in a business that is more about luck and timing than it is talent. I would rate Trevor Rabin way higher than this guy. Trevor Rabin is certainly no John Williams either. + oingo boingo was absolutely silly.
Thank you for responding...well, we can agree to disagree...I did hear many years ago that some of his peers snub him because they don't believe that someone of his musical background could possibly move into the success in scoring he has had unless he was was stealing other's ideas, or using ghostwriters. How utterly inane. He is self-taught in so many different things that most people have to learn through specialized schooling (I've lost count of the musical instruments he plays!) To me, it sounds like these peers are a little envious because certain things came easier to him...and Danny doesn't have a monopoly on connections & luck. As for Boingo being "silly", the songs that were silly were intended to be. Those that were not, were not.
Sharon Alexander Elfman is not bad, but there are much more talented people past and present. Talent only gets you so far. I'm sorry I just don't hear what is so special here. I know people who have never released a record that can compose better stuff than this guy. I have friends that are more talented. Success in the music biz comes down to opportunity and lots of ambition, end of story.
Nice talented guy. I would love a creative job. One of my favorite movies is A Simple Plan. I just realized a few days ago how brilliance of the movie score. (spelled brilliance wrong.)
Danny Elfman is a genius in my eyes.
+pvisic maybe a genius to your ears but that's a stretch
Having a signature style/sound does not mean he's using the "same old formula". Danny Elfman is a phenom.

Genius... nice setup back in the day 😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
He's just silently using a computer for the first minute and a half...
