What's your favorite? Mine's probably TSFS, followed closely by TWOK and TMP. They were all good, though. Even 4 had its moments. 6 had a great score, too.

Yeah, TFF has a great score. I especially like "The Mountain."
This is the order in which I liked them:
TMP
TWOK
TSFS
NEM
TUC
FC
GEN
TFF
INS
TVH
Here is my list in order of preference and favorite tracks from each:
STTMP (the pinnacle of Trek music) - Main Title/End Title, The Enterprise
TWOK - Genesis Countdown, End credits
TFF - The Mountain, End credits
TSFS - Stealing the Enterprise
TUC - Sign off/Suite End credits
GEN - Jumping the Ravine
INS - Bak'u village, The Healing Process, End credits
FC - First Contact
TVH - Home Again: End Titles
NEM - The Scorpion
I wonder where Trek 11 will rank amongst these soundtracks. I read that Mr. Giacchino is somewhat apprehensive about joining these ranks. Let us hope his notes will be as inspired as those who preceded him. A score that evokes the sensation of "boldly going" will serve this film well.

I like TMP, TWOK, and even TVH. The ones I don't listen too much are the TNG ones, or Search for Spock.
Goldsmith's score for TMP.
I feel like he is up to the task. He respects and know the music from the other films. He is definitely a capable composer. His music for Lost is very original and he has had some success on the big screen as well with The Incredibles and MI:3. I'm curious as to what themes from the other films he is going to use. The Courage Fanfare has to be there but other than that I think its pretty much in the air.
Given that the new film is supposed to take place before TOS (though exactly when is up in the air), I would only expect Giacchino to draw on music from the show, not the films. I'd love to hear the "Amok Time" fight music, not to mention a few good orchestra hits and maybe even that love theme Courage wrote for Pike and Vina in "The Cage."
I absolutely adore the Boston Pops and John Williams. But the one time the Pops recorded the theme to TMP, under Williams direction, I have to say that they butchered it. The tempo was all wrong. Drags way too much for the TMP theme.
But, perhaps they'd do better with it under Keith Lockhart?
I have to say that the score to TMP is my all-time favorite movie score. "The Enterprise" and "Illa's Theme" really make the movie to me. I think it's the most original, and most, I dunno, "complete" of the movie soundtracks. It really gives the film a more epic feel.
"Illa's Theme" is the perfect Trek love theme.
Stealing the Enterprise is awesome.
I have to Star Trek V. Bad film, great score.
TFF - The Mountain, End credits
Although TFF is not my favourite of the movies, I also just love the music while Kirk is climbing the mountain.
