I find that his style of music tends to date the stories he did. The big booming syth sound is fine for action scenes but not for anything else.
shareHe's my least favourite Doctor Who composer. I find his work to be absolutely jarring.
shareI really hated the metallic, synth pop whatever it's termed incidental music. I find it one of the few things about Remembrance of the Daleks that doesn't work and in Silver Nemesis it was completely over the top!
shareEh, it's just of its time. I don't overly mind the music in Sylv's era, I personally prefer it to some of the blander stuff from Peter's run

Well Keff McCulloch is my favourite composer for my favourite Doctor so I'm going to be a little biased but I really do feel his music was one element that made the McCoy era what it was and I'm happy for that. Remembrance of the Daleks is my favourite Doctor Who score, I love the theme remix as well with the CG intro. I know that people have a right to hate his work because his music is too loud and OTT but I always still find it sad he doesn't get any praise or credit.
For the first McCoy season he was first asked to do the score for Time and the Rani, then do the DW theme remix. If that wasn't enough pressure for someone new to the show he took on Delta and the Bannermen doing covers as well as new music (as well as appearing in it!) and was then asked to do a new score for Paradise Towers as the original one wasn't seen as fitting for the story. That's three out of four stories each covering 75-90 minutes each. Remember he was a sound engineer by day so all his DW work was done working nights.
I guess it's easier to make fun of his work since the whole McCoy era is seen as the nadir of the show. Someone on YouTube compared his remix theme tune to an elephant shouting down a synthesizer which is funny but again I feel sorry for him. He understands people's issues with the music well and takes the mocking of his work quite well, thanking the fans for their input positive and negative. In his defence he has said (and I totally agree with this) that his music was never intended to be OTT for the sake of it but to feel the emotion of the scene in music form. His music was in my opinion reactive but also fun and exciting. Also for those who say he could only do loud music listen to his music again, he could be quiet, sad and thoughtful when he wanted to.
I never liked Keff McCulloch's music. They should have Gotten Dominic Glynn back to do the seventh Doctor's opening theme. I love that opening visually, but the music, yuck.
shareI love that opening visually
I agree. John Nathan Turner liked it, but I don't think the wink was a good idea. I love the rest of the opening.
By the way, have you seen the alternate version where they didn't have the wink? It got broadcast in one episode, though I can't remember which.

I don't mind the wink, I guess it didn't suit McCoy's doctor in his later seasons but it felt right the first one
