Nellie just watched a “Listed” episode on muchmoremusic (aka “The 80s Channel”) about the 20 best soundtracks of all time:

1. Saturday Night Fever
2. The Bodyguard
3. Purple Rain
4. Grease
5. Dirty Dancing
6. Titanic
7. Top Gun
8. Footloose
9. Flashdance
10. The Wall
11. Pulp Kitchen
12. Pretty In Pink
13. The Lion King
14. Rocky Horror Picture Show
15. 8 Mile
16. Moulin Rouge
17. Breakfast Club
18. Beverly Hills Cop
19. Do the Right Thing
20. Tommy

Look, I understand that nowadays MMM just panders to people who actually like 80s movies, but c’mon. Seriously now. Anyway, I fought down the need to laugh & vomit long enough to compile a list of ten soundtracks, any one of which is better than anything* they listed:

• The Crow
• City Of Angels
• Dazed And Confused
• Dead Man Walking
• Friday Night Lights
• High Fidelity
• O Brother Where Art Thou
• Romeo & Juliet
• Singles
• Stealing Beauty

*except for maybe The Wall, whose status as “soundtrack” is a shaky at best.
