What is the Greatest Soundtrack Ever?

[HFCS]

It's not even close!

This probably is the #1 soundtrack if the criteria is like the best NBA player is whomever has scored the most career points. (LeBron just passing Kareem recently)

Star Wars has a great soundtrack. A lot of people like Gladiator's soundtrack.

If my high school days were any indication I remember playing the #$%^ out of my Twister soundtrack cd in my car. Between Goo Goo Dolls, Shania Twain, Red Hot Chilly Peppers and Van Halen there was something on that for everyone and every occasion.

Star Wars is my all time favorite. John Williams in general owns the instrumental score category. Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, ET, Close Encounters, Superman, Saving Private Ryan, Schindlers List, Home Alone. All of those are amazing, and there's a lot more. Sometimes I wonder if he could be considered the greatest modern composer.

Kind of a Space Lord tangent, but going from GOTG to Talladega Nights. Ricky Bobby tearing around the track to Audioslave "Cochise" and Monster Magnet "Space Lord" got my respect for whoever wrote those 2 in. Another great soundtrack.

Everything Ennio Morricone is staggering, they gave the guy an oscar out of the blue one year just realizing how bad they screwed up that he didn't have ten. Most famous for westerns like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly but stuff like Malena is more traditional emotional score and can make me cry listening to parts of it. If we were talking score/soundtrack combination I might put Malena or Once Upon a Time in the West as my #1. Would link to some Malena soundtrack youtube but the visual would derail the thread ;-)

Hhmmm........Long Way Down by the Goo Goo Dolls? Pure guess. I'm going back a few years, but I think that was the song that was playing when the ex wife had her freak out moment.

 

[Cy Hard]

Since Dazed and Confused has been mentioned multiple times. I appreciate The Secret Life of Walter Mitty soundtrack.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

"Waffle Stomp was a great song. The rest was nothing special..
My nominee is the movie Barnyard - mostly North Mississippi AllStars with a Tom petty song at the end.

I don't know, Moving in Stereo is embedded in my brain for some reason

I said several. I don't think you can pick "just one".

If you made me pick? Pop music soundtrack that contained mostly original music (that came out and around the movie) would probably have to be Rocky IV. Favorite instrumental would probably be the Conan movies (love Poledouris' scores). Best compilation soundtrack is any Vietnam movie that contains the most of the Animals' "We Gotta Get Out of this Place", Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower", "Fortunate Son" and "Gimme Shelter". Since those songs are so synonymous with the Vietnam War and are in a **** ton of movies I'm to lazy to look up which one is the best.

Worst soundtrack is the Bodyguard. Simply ******* brutal.

You forgot Purple Haze from Apocalypse Now.
