Besides Godzilla himself, no other element of the Godzilla film series is as iconic as the scores and themes created for the early features by composer Akira Ifukube. Although a good number of other composers have stepped in and provided some very interesting Godzilla scores, Ifukube will always be the "Godfather" of Godzilla music. Below are links to pages analyzing some of the early Godzilla scores of Akira Ifukube.
