As for M:I, Silvestri's score really didn't fit the movie. It was kind of more of a rockish score, where as Elfman's actually felt like the good old M:I stuff.
There's tons more of rejected scores, like Ransom by Howard Shore, King Kong by Howard Shore (though that was never recorded and maybe not even written), Bad Boys II by Mark Mancina (that was more him just dropping out after he was told he couldn't use his original themes or he had to alter them)... It sucks.

I completely agree with you about Yared and Silvestri's scores, but that's also why I think it would be a great feature - you could have the option to watch the movie with the score you prefer (and how many people ever get to actually here these rejected scores?). I mean, they give us alternate cuts, and you can never find anyone cut that EVERYONE agrees is superior, so I'm sure an alternate audio track with the rejected score would stir up just as much interesting conversation.
