Hi TJR, it's a great channel you have, always very interesting. You've really opened up a can of worms by branching out into soundtracks. By the way, I'm surprised that there are no CZcamsrs out there who specialise in reviewing film soundtracks. None that I'm aware of anyway. Here are ten of my favourites not in any particular order and avoiding more than one score from the same composer: The Pink Panther (Henry Mancini); Diamonds are Forever (John Barry); Jaws (John Williams); The Magnificent Seven (Elmer Bernstein) Where Eagles Dare (Ron Goodwin) The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (Ennio Morricone); Murder on the Orient Express (Richard Rodney Bennett); Enter the Dragon (Lalo Schifrin); The Adventures of Robin Hood (Erich Wolfgang Korngold) and The Italian Job (Quincy Jones). Keep up the good work!

Buddy Rich, Keith Moon, Neil Peert, the list goes on. All ultra talented.

Unfortunately John Bonham had a fragile masculine ego ! He simply was too much of a misogynist to be gracious about losing to a girl ! He also could never have played the drums and sang at the same time because he was a graceless drunk !

I would need to chuck in Mancini's "The Great Race", because each piece perfectly complements the scene or character it joins.

They should have had a kid. RIP lovely lady.

we have heaven is jon anderson'ssong and the fish is chris's, thanks for the video

Why do people have to compare one against another. Each has their area, and are good at what they do, and when someone compares one against the other they are really being disrespectful to the musicians. They do this to fill in that black hole they have in order to give themselves stability which is why we have so many people trying to outdo each other so they can feel superior. Anyone who is comfortable in their skin never behave in this way. Sad to think John Bonham would take offense to this. This shows me how shallow he is.

I have this box set and a triple vinyl set.

I remember this on tape, walked around with this on headphones in the mid to late eighties

Very good synopsis, the harmonica version is epic, changes song into something better

Totally agree. I'm gonna go away and listen to one of my favourite albums and make sure i give it my full attention.

Kiss is a terrible band.. sorry

It's a brilliant album; a psychedelic masterpiece. 10/10

My three favorites are: 2001: A Space Odyssey Phantasm The Exorcist Wildcard: Penn And Teller Get Killed

I have several copies of the 2001: A Space Odyssey soundtrack. It is my favorite movie of all time and the soundtrack music is as haunting as their accompanying film squences. In all truth, when I listen to this movie sountrack, it's like I'm hearing it for the first time all over again. Same thing for the movie itself, everytime I see it, it's my first time seeing it, 2001: A Space Odyssey never gets old.

I can agree with your point, but still, I am glad I own the first ever "Record Store Day" release by Led Zeppelin...

The Last of the Mohicans 1992 is the best I’ve heard. I like Jane Eyre soundtrack from 1970 by John Williams. Probably Somewhere in Time soundtrack by John Barry and Midnight Cowboy theme.

1 Ten Commandments 2 Greatest Story Ever Told 3 Serendipity 4 Winters Tale 5 Purple Rain

Meh. Zeppelin didn't get the love they deserved back in the 1970's.

It's a Wonderful Life, stop making sense, midnight in paris

Playboy readers in the '70s would vote for John Bonham over a pretty 18-year-old? Think! 🤣 That aside, she was an amazing player!

I always find discussions regarding "Who's the best this or that" as amusing. It always reminds me of how people argue who makes the best pizza. It's music and like pizza, it's up to the tastes of the consumer. That's the beauty of it. They would all be boring if they were all the same. I grew up in the 60's-70's and loved EVH, SRV, and David Gilmore. Funny thing is I'm not really a huge fan of Clapton or Hendrix but appreciate their talent. Just not my taste. Different styles, all great in their own right. Just enjoy what you like and appreciate them all.

All good choices except the animated one. I prefer the Dark knight!

I use a Tascam DA-3000 to record my vinyl to an SD Card in 192/24bit wav format. I can optionally record in DSD128 format with this unit. My turntable is connected to my PS Audio stellar phono pre-amp which is connected to my PS Audio Stellar Gold Pre-Amp. I connect the Stellar Gold to the Tascam DA-3000. I take the created file (recorded to a SD card in the Tascam) I generally, record at least 5 or more albums to the SD Card in the Tascam before I edit them in the Nero wav editor. I do this to separate the individual tracks from the wav files. I copy the albums to 8TB USB drives for backup. I then take the tracks I like from the individual albums and copy them to a 4TB SSD drive connected to my Roon Nucleus to playback through my system from playlists I create in Roon. I only down convert to copy to my phone or tablet when I am traveling.

Your favorite movie is Batman mask of the phantasm? Are you crazy dude?

Maybe another video with picks of TV soundtracks. The Mandalorian soundtrack is great and I know you love Grogu. Only Murders in the Building is another great show with a wonderful soundtrack.

I've been listening to Xanadu a lot lately. lol. Guilty pleasure. Grease. Twin Peaks. Sorcerer, by Tangerine Dream are a few faves. I like your list. I p/u New York New York s/t from the Scorsese pic. Paris TX, Superfly, Shaft, and Trouble Man are also great s/t.

In high school only had the Sting soundtrack on cassette. My dad had a few. Since then have enjoyed Gladiator, Last of the Mohicans , and a few more.

Soundtracks, interesting topic. I prefer rock oriented soundtracks. I don’t care for soundtracks comprised of individual songs. I like the composed stuff. Here’s some I like: 1. John Carpenter-Halloween 2. Giorgio Moroder-Cat People 3. Ennio Morricone-The Mission 4. Robert Rodrigues-Sin City 5. Lolo Schifrin-Mission Impossible (TV Series) Then there are soundtracks by rock bands. Things like Obscured By Clouds by Pink Floyd and Thief by Tangerine Dream. I love a lot of those.

What a great list of movies and accompanying soundtracks With 150 years of movies it is conceivable everyone could pick completely different lists and no one would be wrong Here are my top 10 My #1 stands alone and next 9 are as they come to me 1 . The Harder They Come : various but primarily Jimmy Cliff And greatest reggae collection of all time 2-10 Cal : Mark Knopfler ; some may say Princess Bride or Local Hero but this soundtrack from a small irish movie hold a special place for me Harold and Maude : Cat Stevens Yes culled for other albums but lust like The Graduate has a life of its own Paris Texas . Ry Cooder That iconic slide opening and the vocal recital with Harry Dean Stanton The Good The Bad and The Ugly : Ennio Morricone ; so many great Western soundtracks , The Magnificent 7 a close 2nd Once : The Swell Season Another Irish soundtrack with Glenn Hansard and Marketa Irglovas sublime soundtrack Time Square: Various from Robert Stigwoods RSO label Yes it break with your rules of compilations but it does have songs exclusive to movie Great collection The Jungle Book Had to include a Disney soundtrack , this just beat out Mary Poppins Suspiria : Goblin Of all the great horror soundtracks this is the one for me , Halloween a close 2nd The Hours : Philip Glass This is an album I love but I only watched movie once

1. The Ghost and Mrs Muir - Bernard Herrmann 2. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - Ennio Morricone 3. Bullitt - Lalo Schiffrin 4. Dances With Wolves - John Berry 5. The Natural - Randy Newman 6. The Taking of Pelham One, Two, Three - David Shire 7. Laura - David Raksin 8. Silver Streak - Henry Mancini 9. To Kill a Mockingbird - Elmer Bernstein 10. Shaft - Isaac Hayes 11. Black Beauty - Danny Elfman 12. Patton - Jerry Goldsmith 13. The Cowboys - John Williams Bakers' Dozen. But, I already see I forgot some wonderful composers. 1. Max Steiner 2. Franz Waxman 3. Maurice Jarre 4. Hans Zimmer 5. Nino Rota 6. Erick Korngold 7. Roy Webb 8. Charlie Chaplin 9. Alfred Newman 10. Alex North

My favorite Soundtrack could be Sgt. Pepper's wirh Bee Gees, Peter Frampton, Alice Cooper.

I grew up listening to my dad's "Star Wars" and "The Empire Strikes Back" movie soundtracks. I would be on the headphones, waving my arms, pretending to conduct the orchestra. 😊 But as an adult, this sort of traditional movie soundtrack album just doesn't appeal to me. I mostly like rock or pop soundtracks, made by only one rock or pop artist. Like for example, Prince's "Purple Rain". I rarely buy various artists soundtracks. Only if they're filled with mostly new songs, unavailable any place else at the time. The "South Park" soundtrack is a surprise here, next to the others.

John Williams ("Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade"; "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"); Hans Zimmer ("Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest"; "Dunkirk"); and Justin Hurwitz ("First Man"; "Babylon") are probably my go tos

Definitely a few of my favourites in your list, very informative as always, some of my favourites are The Commitments, Bram Stoker's Dracula (Wojciech Kilar), Suspiria (1977), Hair & Lawrence of Arabia.... how did i forget Rocky Horror Picture Show, jeez

Hey TJ, long time subscriber since your spirit video back in the day. I know you probably have an endless list of music to listen to but just wanted to mention specifically because you’re a Lynch fan and cited fire walk with me, if you’ve got around 32 mins to spare sometime, check out my band lovelettertypewriter’s album, “Pia Snow”. It’s streaming everywhere. Lyrically it’s all about fire walk with me. 90s Midwest emo.

1. Purple Rain. 2 Superfly 3.Shaft 4.Saturday Night fever 5. The Blues Brothers 6. Batman (prince) 7. Help! 8. Do the Right Thing. 9.The Graduate 10. The Empire Strikes Back

Until they induct The Cramps, the “Rock & Roll” part of the Hall of Fame is a lie.

Thanks for sharing your top 10 movie soundtracks TJ! Very cool! The 2 movie soundtracks I listen to most are Alamo Bay and Paris, Texas - both composed by Ry Cooder. And I like weird stuff like the soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange. Or does A Clockwork Orange have too much Beethoven to be considered, according to your criteria? I was going to say Wild at Heart right off the bat until you said compilations - which that is made up of, mostly. Death Proof is a compilation and has dialog too. But I like the way Quentin Tarantino arranges his compilations. He goes for the deep cuts, not typical stuff. Anyway, have a great weekend!

Hi, thanks for your video… I prefer the soundtrack of Clockwork Orange than 2001… Bullitt, Blues Brothers, Dead Man, Blackboard Jungle… and why not the beautiful Eastwood’s Grand Torino…

Interesting choices! I think music is, often, a very important part of a movie. Some movie soundtracks (only the actual music) might not be so interesting though. A movie can have a few hit songs and the rest is dated stuff OR awesome music for the credits but just strange sound effects for the rest of it. Some absolute favorites. Ennio Morricone - Cinema Paradiso (1988). As often.. It gets even better if you watched the movie but the music speaks volume on it's own. So beautiful and a strong record all the way through. Nino Rota - The Godfather Part II (1974). I actually prefer the first Godfather as a movie but as a whole I believe the soundtrack to the second movie is a bit stronger. Nino Rota might not be a huge name (to current generations) besides the Godfather but if you like the Godfather soundtracks search up more of his music. It's good! James Brown - Black Ceasar (1973). Never even heard of the movie in a different context but the album is a strong one from James Brown.

Prince - Batman

A Hard Days Night/Help????

👍👍😎✌️🤟

That's certainly an interesting list. Mine would likely be recordings of classic scores like TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR, THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, the original KING KONG, BEN-HUR, and others by giants of the industry like Elmer Bernstein, Herrmann, Korngold, Max Steiner, Rozsa, and their ilk.

This might be sappy but one (if not my first albums) is THE SOUND OF MUSIC. I love all the songs & particularly Julie Andrew's voice. I knew all the songs by heart.

Singles is a good one

I have been trying to look for a physical copy of the Rutles soundtrack on CD and vinyl... haven't found either yet!
