The Braveheart (Tintin) would have liked epic scores I guess. Hammock (the Captain) might like Two Steps from Hell or The Best Pessimist...
I don't know, just guessing!
Update: Sorry maybe I couldn't be clear enough. I meant Tintin could like Hammock (which is a band!), Two Steps from Hell or The Best Pessimist. I was not talking of the Captain. Thanks :)
Moderator Note: Apologies for the confusion, but your initial post was very hard to follow - it was like Captain Haddock explaining his arrival at the end of Land of Black Gold: very simple, yet complicated! You started by quoting someone else's post about guitar jazz and Django Reinhardt, which made it seem like you wanted to talk about them, but then didn't actually make reference to either in your comment; as a result, that quotation was removed.
You then talked about Braveheart and "epic scores", which at first made it seem that you were talking about James Horner's music for the film of the same name; however the punctuation was confusing, so it was hard to interpret, and a term like "epic score" suggests some huge orchestral piece like John Wiliams's music for Star Wars, when, from looking, the people you mention don't seem to go in for that kind of thing - and that was before you pointed out Hammock are a band...!
It then seemed that you might be calling Tintin Braveheart, which suggested that the "Hammock" might be a reference to Castafiore calling the Captain "Hammock", not knowing that there is a group of that name.
It's best in cases like this to remember that very few people will have heard of the groups/ bands/ duos you mention - well maybe young folks will, but creaking old fogeys like us mods may not have!
Anyway, the real purpose of a thread like this isn't just to briefly name-check some of your favourites - if you are going to mention someone/ something, you want to explain why you think it is appropriate to the character.
If people don't give reasons, the thread just turns into a list, which isn't productive, or really about Tintin and Hergé...
So why do you think Tintin would enjoy Hammock, etc.? You might also get other people to try out some new music if you do! The Happy Tintinologist Team
