Will it surprise anybody that I like Leonard Rosenman's music for the old Bakshi film a lot better? Howard Shore has a talent for grand, catchy themes (which are his main strength in my opinion), but in terms of musical imagination and (to the very limited extent that I feel competent to judge that) structure, I don't think he can hold a candle to Rosenman.
