Local Hero - Mark Knopfler
Planet of the Apes (1968) by Jerry Goldsmith, when movie soundtracks served the movie. I love the discordant piano and atmospherics.
That one reminds me of Emerson lake and palmer
Goodfellas (1990), Saturday Night Fever (1977), Shaft (1971), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1-3, Mary Poppins (1964), Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971), Heavy Metal (1981), The Dark Knight Trilogy (2005-2012)
1. Amadeus
2. Star Wars
3. Vertigo
4. Bridge on the River Kwai
5. The Sand Pebbles
My favourite film of all time is Paris Texas and the Ry Cooder soundtrack is awesome. First visit to a lifelong friend in Chicago (I am from the UK) and I was taken to a drive in. The Blues Brothers....people dancing on their car roofs. Marvelous!
Ry Cooders soundtrack to The Long Riders is pretty good too. Forgot to add that to my list

Another epic with the UK lads and a completely surprising start as never would have expected Simon's first pick to appear on SoT but a great surprise, indeed. Have responded to soundtrack list on another SoT episode but some for today (that may include repeats0 inlcude
1. Twin Peaks - soundtrack for the original TV series Angelo Badalamenti
2, Amadeus - the complete 3 CD set
3. Star Wars by John Williams [no relation]
4. Purple Rain by Prince
5. The Sting - music by Scott Joplin and arranged by Marvin Hamlisch [the album that brought piano ragtime to this piano player's attention and sent me down the rabbit hole of that genre]
Once again, thanks for the entertainment and laughs Cheers, lads.
Magical Mystery Tour.
I always thought I would never hear a greater rendition of My Favorite Things than Julie Andrews singing it to soothe the Von Trapp children's nerves. But many years later, surpassed by John Coltrane's 21.05 min. rendition from Berlin on November 2, 1963.
Yes. I LOVE that live Coltrane version.
#1 Conan the Barbarian (Basil Poledouris)
#2 Robocop (Basil Poledouris)
#3 Escape from New York (John Carpenter)
#4 Dawn of the Dead (Goblin)
#5 Terminator (John Williams)
The Back to the Future one...still have the LP in pristine condition. Just a fun, uplifting soundtrack.
My parents had the Great War Movie Themes and Great Western Themes albums when I was growing up. I can't hear music from The Guns of Navarone or The Good, The Bad and The Ugly without seeing my dad nodding along out of time with a half smile on his face.
We had the Great Western Themes album as well. Fantastic stuff, even when nodded to out of time!
Great shout out by Simon to Amenobar/ Amaldovar (don't confuse these two, kids!) The Lost Boys soundtrack meant so much to me growing up in the 1980s - we ALL loved that! Great shout of Pete's too for Goblin!
Another shout out to Angelo Badliamenti and David Lynch who often composes music himself, or works with others to set.the mood for his own, distinct slices of cinema.
Trick or Treat, Last Action Hero, Judgement Night, Who Made Who Maximum Overdrive soundtrack) and the ET soundtrack (bought that one on picture disc vinyl back when the film came out)
Aliens, Third Ear Band's Macbeth, Rocky Horror, Jesus Christ Superstar and Peter Gabriel's Passion .... amongst many many more. Great discussion guys.
1. Lord of the rings - fellowship extended ver.
2. Firestarter - Tangerine Dream
3. Help! - the Beatles
4. Blues Brothers
5. Crossroads
Great show as usual chaps, here are a few of my favourites.
The Godfather - Nino Rota
The Empire Strikes Back - John Williams
Reservoir Dogs - various
Pulp Fiction - Various
Once Upon a Time in the West - Ennio Morricone
The Outlaw Josey Wales - Jerry Fielding
The Cowboys (John Wayne) - John Williams
Cross of Iron - Ernest Gold
The Conversation - David Shire
The Taking of Pelham 123 - David Shire
Dirty Harry - Lalo Schifrin
Sorcerer is an excellent pick. My favorite period from one of my favorite bands. Great description by Pete.
5. Strangeland
4. Fast Times At Ridgemont High
3. Spring Break
2. Heavy Metal
1. Spinal Tap
Great show! My list is :
1) Amadeus
2) Star Wars
3) Sound of Music
4) West Side Story
5) Piano.
- Ennio Morricone is my favourite film composer. Once upon a time in America is on the top of my list,
- In Flame by Slade
- Buio Omega by Goblin
- Bram Stoker's Dracula by Wojciech Kilar
- Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, featuring Megadeth, Kiss, King's X and others
I'd also like to mention Traditori Di Tutti by Calibro .35. It's a soundtrack to an imaginary Italian 70's crime movie. Each track has a title, but also a mood/description. Example: Title: Giulia Mon Amour, Mood: Night time car chase in Milan. They have done several of these, and have since been hired to make at least one actual soundtrack.
Can't believe that I didn't even mention In Flame at all on the show!
@@TranquilityFireReid It's easy to forget that it is a soundtrack. Musically it's just another Slade album, and the film is not talked about very often. I didn't think of it myself until I browsed my collection on Discogs to see if I had forgotten any obvious choices.
The amazing haunting Wendy Carlos and Midnight by Al Bowly from The Shining
The soundtrack from the movie FM: numerous big names from 1977-79 rock/pop including Steely Dan, Dan Fogelberg, Boz Scaggs, The Doobie Brothers, Billy Joel, Queen,Bob Seger, Linda Ronstadt, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh,Jimmy Buffett(Ronstadt and Buffett perform in the movie, Petty has a cameo acting role, playing himself). The movie is about the daily happenings at an FM radio station
Soundtrack from the movie " Going Home " Mark Knopfler wrote/performs
Pete mentioned Fast Times At Ridgemont High: Moving In Stereo by The Cars was featured in one of the movie's funniest scenes--it wasn't on the soundtrack?
A most delightful watch. Grease really is the word. I loved Bladerunner when it first came out and am a big fan of Last Action Herp. I even like the remake that I perhaps should not mention and return to my wicker making hobby. It is a good job that a certain 60's iconic classic didn't come up with a remake that I cannot mention because I preferred it. Just one of my Mini moments of clarity that could get me deported to anywhere if said out loud.
I want Pete to sing the classic Showaddywaddy tune under the moon of love but one of the other two has to do the immortal maner maner part in the style of the original.
I was half surprised to not see the 1986 film Crossroads mentioned, with Steve Vai being an important constituent.
Great choices on Tangerine Dream and Goblin, Pete! Sorcerer is one of my top faves and Suspiria is my favorite Goblin soundtrack. Other favorites of mine include: Jerry Goldsmith-Logan's Run, John Barry-The Black Hole, Ennio Morricone-For a Few Dollars More, Derek Wadsworth-Space: 1999 Year 2, Shunsuke Kikuchi-Getter Robo, Fred Myrow & Malcolm Seagrave-Phantasm, John Carpenter & Alan Howarth-Halloween III, Harry Robertson-Hawk the Slayer, Yuji Ohno-The Inugami Family and the Wonderland Philharmonic(Mark Lindsay, W. Michael Lewis & Robert Houston)-Shogun Assassin.
Great show with some awesome picks! Some of my favorites:
- Risky Business
- Blade Runner
- Thief
- Valley Girl
- Altered States
Flash Gordon, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Lost in Translation.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service - wow! My favorite Bond film and a magnificent score/soundtrack by John Barry. Wasn't expecting to see that appear here, very nice choice.
My favorite soundtracks:
Tron - Wendy Carlos
2001: A Space Odyssey - various artists
Star Trek II - James Horner
Last of the Mohicans - Trevor Jones
Sorcerer - Tangerine Dream (l was fist-pumping when Pete picked this one)
The Vision of Escaflowne - Yoko Kanno (they released 4 soundtrack CDs for the TV series and one for the feature film, and I have all five)
Pulp Fiction - various artists
My favorite film soundtracks are Heavy Metal, Fast Times at Ridgemont High,
the Warriors, Jesus Christ Superstar, Godspell and Roadie.🎶📽📺🎥🎶
Warriors rocks!
@@RobertParks-h7r
Jesus Christ Superstar rocks to.
#1 Thomas Newman ( The Shawshank Redemption)
Score
#2 Mike Oldfield ( The Exorcist)
Soundtrack
#3 Bernard Hermann( Psycho)
Score
#4 John Williams (The Cowboys)
Score
#5 Max Steiner(King Kong)
Score
Sorcerer - Tangerine Dream (almost all synth scores from that era), King Kong 1933 - Max Steiner (or just about anything by Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams, Ennio Morricone or Bernard Herrmann), Dazed and Confused tying with Boogie Nights for cool eclectic classic rock and pop soundtracks that each spawned a second collection of songs, Suspiria and Dawn of the Dead - Goblin, and the double album AOR primer, FM (1978) featuring Steely Dan, Linda Ronstadt, Joe Walsh, Foreigner, Eagles, Steve Miller, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and many others (and Grease, which includes tunes from the Broadway Cast Album, Xanadu (Elo, Olivia, Cliff, and The Tubes), Saturday Night Fever, Heavy Metal and American Graffiti are all great double album soundtracks). If you include TV - The Rutles from the “All You Need is Cash” special is awesome! For documentary, there’s few as excellent as The Buena Vista Social Club.
One of my favorite soundtrack albums is The Killing Fields by Mike Oldfield. It works as an album to listen to and background/incidental music for the movie.
I remember liking Mother, Jugs and Speed Soundtrack. This was a film with Bill Cosby and Raquel Welch and Larry Hagman.
absolutely great episode as usual. Funny stuff. By the way Pete it one thousand %%%% on our awesome SOT leader Sal. Carpe diem. Early check out. !!! Dead dead on. Love u Sal. Fan favorite. Steven. Simon Pete. Great great stuff. Love it 👍💯
@garyjoyce2160 - Thank you for your kind words. Happy that Pete mentioned Goblin and their songs. One of my all-time favorite bands. Cheers, Sal.
Great video as always guys! 👍Soundtracks! That`s a tough one to take on as there are so many. Really pleased to see Peter mention `Grease`. Watched the movie on 4K last year and it reminded me of what a great film/soundtrack it is. Some choices of mine -
`Once Upon A Time In The West` - both Morricone`s and Leone`s finest moment.
`Legend`(Robin of Sherwood tv series) - Clannad
`Streets of Fire` - two great Steinman songs plus contributions from Stevie Nicks, Ry Cooder and others.
`Sound of Music`
`Oliver`
`Excalibur` (1981)
`Bilitis` (Francis Lai)
`Rocky Horror Picture Show`
`Grease`
`One From the Heart` (Tom Waits/Crystal Gayle)
`Quadrophenia`
`Jesus Christ Superstar`
`Muppets Christmas Carol`
`Christmas Carol-The Movie` (Charlotte Church, Kate Winslet)
`Beat Girl` - John Barry
And yes `The Wicker Man` is very good!
Had to improvise this weeks beverage: a shot of Herradura.
1) from my favorite movie - the blues brothers '80
2) one i still listen to often - heavy metal '81
3) fabulous baker boys '89 - awesome to hear Michelle Pfeiffer sing 'makin' whoopee' and 'my funny valentine'
4) alien '79 - just found out my favorite bit at the end is from Howard Hanson's 1930 symphony #2 romantic.
5) as i spin the wheel of John Williams this evening it lands on 'ET'.
Make that 2 shots...
5. Purple Rain
4. A Hard Day’s Night
3. Star Wars
2. Saturday Night Fever
1. This Is Spinal Tap
HM
Rocky
Vertigo
Halloween
Jaws
Platoon
E.T.
Forrest Gump
School of Rock
Anchorman
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
Guardians of the Galaxy
Amadeus
The original " Day the Earth Stood Still 1951 ). A Hard Days Night . The Commitments . The Kids Are Alright . The Pink Panther ( original ). " Woody Allen had several movies featuring some great 40s assorted music .
1. Halloween (1978)
2. Woodstock (38 cd edition)
3. Star Wars IV: A New Hope
4. The Fog (1980)
5. The Magnificent Seven (1960)
One truly memorable soundtrack (IMO) is A Clockwork Orange.
This was a fun show for sure.
1) Blade Runner 1982 Also my all time favorite movie
2) Jesus Christ Superstar 1973
3) Tapeheads 1988
4) Close Encounters of the Third Kind 1977
5) Heavy Metal 1981
Your #3 pick put me in the mood for chicken & waffles😎👍
"(John Williams) had a way of delivering bombast but in a majestic and classy way". Well put Pete. I got a Star Wars 8-track via mail record/tape club and I guess I was expecting screenplay but it was "only" music score. But I was so obsessed with movie that I listened to it frequently.
The Sandpepbles,Out of Africa,Some where in time,Body Heat,Taxi Driver.
My fav soundtracks …. West Side Story ( movie )…Godspell ( movie )…. Saturday Night Fever….Grease ( movie )….Hair (original broadway )…. Jesus Christ Superstar ( 2001 version )….Broken Glass….Sound of Music…..The Point ( Nilsson/ Davy Jones version )…..War of The Worlds ( 1978 version ) … Buddy Holly Story ( 1978. Gary Busey )….The Way of The World ( Earth Wind & Fire )….Flash ( Queen )….The Man Who Fell To Earth ( David Bowie )…..
I like John Carpenter's themes for his own films: Assault on Precinct 13, Escape from New York, Escape from LA, Dark Star, The Thing, and others. The Judgment Night soundtrack has collaborations between rock bands and rappers, such as Faith No More and Boo Yah Tribe. The Tommy soundtrack has a fantastic version of Eyesight to the Blind by Eric Clapton. The Quadrophenia soundtrack is produced by John Entwistle, in the absence of the rest of the band, and is different to the original, plus it has a selection mod hits. Alice Cooper recorded a really good theme for Bond film, The Man with the Golden Gun, but it was rejected in favour of the inferior Lulu version. Cooper's version is included on the follow-up album to Billion Dollar Babies, Muscle of Love (1974).
The Sorcerer is based on a great French film, The Wages of Fear. The nail-biting Ice Cold in Alex (GB 1958) is also based on The Wages of Fear.
Great show as ever gents.... my picks:
1. Conan - Basil Poledouris
2. Excalibur - Trevor Jones
3. Star Wars - John Williams
4. The Lord of The Rings - Howard Shore
5. Skyrim - Jeremy Soule
One of my top favorites is heavy metal from 1981 its one excellent song after another and a total must have for fans of classic hard rock.and metal and another good one is against all odds from 1984 and it has the distinction of having 3 members of genesis contributing to the soundtrack it has the famous Phil Collins ballad of the same name and two really good songs by Peter Gabriel and Mike Rutherford
If anyone is looking for some epic Celtic/symphonic metal, the Fairy Tail anime has an awesome blend of those and some epic orchestral tracks.
Tangerine Dream! Awesome… and Grease.. mannn…. I think my life started after coming out of the theater and seeing Grease… life would never be the same…

Biil and Ted's Bogus Journey, It's a Kind of Magic[Queen album which basically is the Highlander soundtrack], Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Once Upon A Time In The West, The Warriors.
Magnum Force, Suspiria, Mary Poppins, Excalibur, American Graffiti and North by Northwest
One of my fav movies - Thief (‘81 with James Caan). Soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. Listen to Confrontation by Craig Safan. The last scene / outro music which has a descending chord pattern and great guitar lead that reminds a little of comfortably numb. Other favorites: Pulp Fiction, For a Few Dollars More, Death Proof, Hair, Pink Panther, Wild Things.
Brian Eno, Roger Eno and Daniel Lanois - Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks (a slight cheat), Until the End of the World (Wim Wenders film), The Big Chill, Dead Man (Jim Jarmusch film, music Neil Young) and Rain (New Zealand film by Christine Jeffs featuring music by Neil Finn and others).
Thanks Simon for bringing up Pedro Almodóvar, when it comes to soundtracks, the equivalent of Quinten Tarantino. Love Morricone and The Blues Brothers too.
My favorite is jimmy pages death wish 2 which still hasn’t been released digitally at all and the two instrumental tracks spaghetti junction and crack back on the scream for help soundtrack John Paul jones and jimmy page
The soundtrack from 2 David Essex films, That I'll Be The Day and the follow up, Stardust, which was a total education for me growing up, it's an excellent soundtrack, first time I heard Jimi Hendrix, All Along the watch tower, also a number of Dave Edmunds tracks on the fourth side, and Essex solo tracks when leaving the fictional band, and you can't beat Queen with Flash Gordon, plus from Wes Craven, Shocker, which had the best Desmond Child ballads , Timeless Love by Saraya.
Good evening..don't have one specific one.. but Saturday night fever..and yes grease know them all..2001 is another one..but my favorite part is when Steven broke out laughing when Simon made a comment ..Great stuff !!
Two Soundtracks that you guys overlooked. JC Superstar movie soundtrack. It's not as famous as the original album with Ian Gillan, but it's still great. But the best ever Soundtrack album is "A Clockwork Orange" by Wendy Carlos! The title theme is one of my all time favorite pieces of music
Very enjoyable episode, guys! I have to give it to Star Wars, Superman, Spinal Tap, Heavy Metal, Flash Gordon, and my all-time favorite movie, the anime film Princess Mononoke. And why oh why can I not get a soundtrack CD for The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai? It’s just criminal, I tell you.
Lots of good anime soundtracks. I kind of decided not to go down that road but you are right with Princess Mononoke - great choice.
SoT might not be the ideal venue for an anime soundtrack discussion. But I’d love to hear what some of your favorites are. Beyond everybody’s favorite, Cowboy Bebop, of course!
There’s Something About Mary. Old School. Rollerball. Flash Gordon.
Today’s beer of choice I’m having a Terre-Hoot Mission to Mars fruited sour. 4.5 ABV from Terre Haute Indiana. Nice lip smacking taste. Cheers 🍻! Haven’t had the chance to put a lot of thought into this but 2 soundtracks that always come to mind are
Basketball Diaries
Heavy Metal
Really enjoy both soundtracks as well as the movies. Basketball Dairies is a dark subject matter but it is so good and have always liked this soundtrack a lot. Great show as always gentleman! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
On my way home from seeing Haken in London (incredible gig) where I was drinking Harvey's Sussex Best!
Haken are amazing live!
@TranquilityFireReid I have an even bigger appreciation of the Fauna album after this gig! Crystalised is also magnificent live!
Valley Girl (The original)..Grizzly Man Documentary...Pulp Fiction...Harold & Maude..The Graduate...The Outsiders...
Blade Runner is absolutely one of my favorite movies! The soundtrack is a big part of that.
...and so is that soundtrack to 1492, Steven. Great call!
My 5 would be : Once Upon A Time In America, Blade Runner, Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers and Clockwork Orange. Add one more seeing as Steven had 8 number ones. La Vie En Rose.
C'mon Kenny, if you're going to cheat...cheat BIG! lol!
As regards Grease, there were so many successful singles from the film released in the UK - all the videos were shown on Top of the Pops - that I felt I had already seen the movie before actually watching it.
"Ghosts of Mars" is an average film by John Carpenter. The score, on the other hand, is to be heard by fans of instrumental hard rock / metal: Steve Vai, Buckethead, Anthrax, Elliot Easton cross collaborating across tracks under Carpenter's musical vision.
Good show🎶👍, but in my humble opinion an impossible task to narrow it down to 5 favourites😳! I expected a Hans Zimmer pick because of the T-shirt😄!
I can on top of my head take another 5 superb soundtracks, not mentioned by "The 3 Wise Men"🤗:
The Graduate
Saturday Night Fever
St. Elmo's Fire
Driving Miss Daisy (Hans Zimmer😉)
Once Upon A Time In America - perhaps the best score I ever have heard and vital for the film👍!
Yeah, I contemplated not wearing the Zimmer shirt, but it was a great live show who it seemed like a waste not to share it.
Maybe it's cheating/off topic, but I'm including game soundtracks (only one/franchise for more diversity!) Besides being great, these also have a lot of sentimental value.
1. Fellowship Of The Ring - The Complete Recordings (Howard Shore, 2001/2005)
2. Final Fantasy IV - Original Sound Version (Nobuo Uematsu, 1991)
3. Star Ocean The Second Story - Original Soundtrack (Motoi Sakuraba, 1998)
4. Chrono Trigger - Original Sound Version (Yasunori Mitsuda/Nobuo Uematsu/Noriko Matsueda, 1995)
5. Estpolis Denki II (Lufia 2: Rise Of The Sinistrals) - Soundtrack (Yasunori Shiono, 1995)
HM: Wild ARMs Advanced 3rd - Original Soundtrack (Michiko Naruke, 2002)
In the future I'd like to collect even more soundtracks of classic JRPGs that I played back in the day.
Looking forward to the next one - 100% my topic!
I don't think game soundtracks are cheating Daniel. They do a very similar job to that of a movie soundtrack.
Performance - Ry Cooder, Buffy St Marie, The Last Poets and Mick Jagger. Nosferatu - Popul Vuh. Candyman - Philip Glass. Dawn of the Dead - Goblin. All fucking stonking.
1. the magnificent seven 2.the good the bad and the ugly 3.imaginaeurum .4 the great escape . 5 saturday night fever
“Heavy Metal” soundtrack for the win
Love soundtrack themed shows, thanks! 🍺🤘
A few for me....
Rock Star
The Lost Boys
(My two favorites)
Singles
Rocky IV
The Crow
The Big Chill
Dazed and Confused
The Guardians movies
Tangerine Dream: Thief (great film). Also Wang Chung: To Live and Die in LA.
Some soundtracks are awesome.
My favourites : Interstellar, Bladerunner, Grease, Suspiria by Goblin, Sound of Music
Power Metal is going to be great!!!
Great UK Connection. Who would have thought that Simon loves Ths Wicker Man soundtrack.
In no particular order On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Bladerunner, music from The Prisoner, Ennio Morricone music from Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and Once Upon a Time in the West and Excalibur.
Great to see The Prisoner getting a mention Dai. Classic theme tune and excellent incidental music too - if a bit off kilter at times.
In terms of various-artists compilation soundtracks, some touchstones for me are:
The Beach
The Crow
Drive
Jackie Brown
The Royal Tenenbaums
Trainspotting
Vanilla Sky
Velvet Goldmine
Jackie Brown!
Taxi Driver (Herrmann), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (Bacharac), American Graffiti (V/A), Conan the Barbarian (Poledouris), Jaws (Williams), Cross of Iron (Gold), Midnight Express (Moroder)... For starters!
Clerks,Singles,Judgement Night reservoir dogs …
Natural Born Killers is the first one that comes to mind. The movie was a warped trip into the world of a pair of psychotic anti-heroes through the eyes of a hyperbolic media storm ala Geraldo Rivera or Morton Downey Jr. The music complements the film's ambiance and is nearly as disturbing as the film. From the opening scene in the diner to the "Geraldo Rivera" character signing off at the end of the movie, your ride is perfectly accompanied by the twisted tunes of this soundtrack! Leonard Cohen, L7 featuring Juliet Lewis (one half of the demented "Mickey and Mallory" duo), Patti Smith, Cowboy Junkies, Bob Dylan, Duane Eddy, several tracks by Nine Inch Nails, an epic Nusrat Fateh/Ali Kahn/Peter Gabriel collaboration and many more! The film wouldn't have been the same without the soundtrack.
WATERWORLD-one of the best soundtracks in the entire history of international cinema. James Newton Howard's masterpiece.
As a film major, I love film scores/soundtracks. Such an important aspect of the art form.
There is only one correct answer and thats Howard Shores' score for the Lotr trilogy. The Score completely transforms everything. Genuinely some of the greatest music ever written.
Some others that I love
Halloween by John Carpenter, another score that becomes a character. The film wouldn't be the same without it.
Danny Elfman's Spider-man score has always been a favorite of mine
Vangelis' score for Blade Runner is absolutely brilliant.
Bill Conti's score for Rocky is also Legendary
The score for Amadeus is also incredible, it's basically a Greatest Hits album by Mozart.
1.Prince-Purple Rain
2.Scarface
3.Bryan Adams & Hans Zimmer-Spirit The Stallion of The Cimarron
4.Lost Boys
5.David Bowie-Labyrinth
1. The Mission - Ennio Morricone.
2. The Last Emperor - Ryuichi Sakamoto
3. Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence - Ryuichi Sakamoto.
4. Black Orpheus - Antonio Carlos Jobim/ Luiz Bonfa.
5. Next Stop Wonderland - Claudio Ragazzi.
Blade Runner should also be recognized and respected as the catalyst for the cyberpunk genre that's really popular today. Almost everything related to dystopian sci-fi or dark gritty futuristic settings are massively influenced by Blade Runner. The music too actually, anything to do with especially modern Sci-fi in TV, Movies and Video games we have that Vangelis unforgettable sound our minds.The synthesizers, the big digital brass CS-80 sounds and big sweeping atmospheric synths and it all goes back to Vangelis.
1) Thief - Tangerine Dream
2) Pulp Fiction / Reservoir Dogs
3) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.1
4) Heavy Metal
5) The Blues Brothers
Speaking of Spinal Tap and the Blues Brothers, have you heard any of Lenny and the Squigtones? While Michael McKean was "Lenny" from "Laverne and Shirley" instead of "David St. Hubbins", their lead guitarist on some tracks (and at least one American Bandstand appearance that's on TH-cam) was pre-Tap Christopher Guest's "Nigel Tufnel", and the keyboardist was Murphy Dunne ("Murph" of the Blues Brothers) as "Lars Svenki". They did perform some of the songs as a duo on the "Laverne and Shirley" show in a talent-show episode or arc, so technically a soundtrack? The album is about half songs, half stand-up banter, but at least an Honorable Mention.
"Dogtown and Z-Boys" and "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" soundtracks are hidden gems.
Underrated and rarely mentioned but Stewart Copeland's soundtrack to Rumble Fish is incredible.
Sorry missed my third. Miles Davis, A Tribute To Jack Johnson ('71) a documentary film soundtrack.
The Sting introduced many in the 70s generation to ragtime and early jazz. Deliverance did the same for bluegrass and mountain music.
Various Artists
Dazed and Confused
Singles
The Crow
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Film score
Anything with Ennio Morricone, Hans Zimmer and John Williams
Love the soundtrack to the fantastic film buffalo 66 by Vincent gallo
Iron Eagle
Navy Seals
Rocky 4
The Lost Boys
Some of my favorites.
I think bold observations can be made in a new Spinal Tap. Considering Guest, McKean, and Shearer are around the same age as the rock and roll landscape today.
