Forgive me if this topic already exists. I did a quick search and couldn't find it.

It seems like the era of excellent movie soundtracks is over. From the late 60s through about the late 90s, movie soundtracks had the potential to be some of the best collections of music to be released in any given year. 

I could list 10 different amazing soundtracks just from the 90s alone, but I'll start the thread with one that I really love:

"You're Gonna Miss Me" – 13th Floor Elevators

"Ev'rybody's Gonna Be Happy" – The Kinks

"I'm Wrong About Everything" – John Wesley Harding

"Oh! Sweet Nuthin'" – The Velvet Underground

"Always See Your Face" – Love

"Most of the Time" – Bob Dylan

"Fallen for You" – Sheila Nicholls

"Dry the Rain" – The Beta Band

"Shipbuilding" – Elvis Costello & The Attractions

"Cold Blooded Old Times" – Smog

"Let's Get It On" – Barry Jive & The Uptown Five (Jack Black)

"Lo Boob Oscillator" – Stereolab

"The Inside Game" – Royal Trux

"Who Loves the Sun" – The Velvet Underground

"I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever)" – Stevie Wonder


I mean...The Kinks, the Velvet Underground, Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan, the Beta Band, Stevie Wonder, and even a funny/excellent rendering of "Let's Get It On" by Jack Black?

Amazing track list. Elite. 





Your turn.
