Oh yeah, it's time for this one. So many amazing soundtracks out there, I narrowed it down to 10. These are soundtracks that have made an impact on my life for one reason or another. So, I hope you all enjoy! Stay tuned for next weeks list. Gonna be a good one dammit.
10. The Doors Soundtrack - 1991 film 'The Doors'
If you don't like The Doors, might as well un-friend me now. Don't even bother trying to argue with me about this, The Doors kick ass and this soundtrack does Justice. The only negative is none of Val Kilmer's performances of the songs were actually included in the soundtrack, but that doesn't change the fact that these are amazing songs that will be relevant for all time. So, come on and Light my fire. Know what I mean?
9. Back To The Future Soundtrack - 1985 film 'Back To The Future'
Yup. Any time you ever hear 'The Power of Love' by Huey Lewis and the News you think of this movie. Hell, every time I hear 'Johnny B. Goode' I relive the scene with Marty on guitar. Classic. Amazing. Excuse me while I Youtube that scene right now.
8. The Punisher Soundtrack - 2004 film 'The Punisher'
Ok, maybe not the greatest superhero movie ever, don't get me wrong, it's still WAY better then that Captain America movie from 1990, but still, pretty damn tame to what The Punisher should be. The soundtrack on the other hand was pretty damn good. from the return of Drowning Pool after the ill timed passing of Dave Williams with "Step Up" to the amazing acoustic song 'In Time' by Mark Collie it's a great listen that I still play often.
7. Heavy Metal 2000 Soundtrack - 2000 film 'Heavy metal 2000' or 'Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K2'
Back in the day, this was one of my first introduction to a lot of amazing bands. Monster Magnet, MDFMK, Coal Chamber, Full Devil Jacket. This soundtrack was flat out amazing. I also really liked the movie. Also, on the movie front, after a bunch of issues with making a 3rd installment, in 2011 Robert Rodriguez announced that he bought the film rights, so I'm really stoked for that.
6. Lords of Dogtown Soundtrack - 2005 film 'Lords of Dogtown'
A soundtrack that makes you wish you were there. Bottom line to this one. Nazareth, Ted Nugent, Deep Purple, Bowie, Iggy Pop, Black Sabbath. Seriously, you can not go wrong with this soundtrack. Although, just thinking about it now, I'm fairly sure that 'Iron Man' has been used in soundtracks more times than anything else. Well, except, 'Dracula'. That songs been EVERY WHERE.
5. Tron Legacy Soundtrack - 2010 film 'Tron: Legacy'
Now, I'm generally not a fan of Daft Punk, but I gotta say, this soundtrack blew my mind. BOOM! Gone. All over the walls, it was hideous. From start to finish this makes amazing background music. Listened to it all on a late night drive across to Saskatchewan, and seriously made some cool ass driving music at night. Must have, must buy. Get it now.
4. House of 1000 Corpses Soundtrack - 2003 film 'House of 1000 Corpses'
Rob Zombie knows music, knows movies and knows how to have a movie soundtrack embody the essence of a movie. This was epic good times. Between the awesome songs, the instrumentals and audio samples this is a must have. Kudos to you Mr. Zombie.
3. The Wall Soundtrack - 1982 film 'Pink Floyd - The Wall'
You may all be satisfied now. I have included possibly the greatest soundtrack of all time. Songs that amaze and stun me to this day with a movie that, well, let's face it, is kinda messed up. Great watch, music is timeless and I'm not gonna lie, 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 2' is a staple for my Karaoke parties. love singing that song.
2. Underworld Soundtracks - 2003-2012 films 'Underworld Series'
A collection of amazing music. Where to start... Wes Borland, Puscifer, Milla Jovovich, Skinny Puppy, APC, Amy Lee. That's just on the first movie. Fantastic remixes, perfect songs, killer artists spanning 4 movie soundtracks. That is epicness.
1. Resident Evil Soundtracks - 2002 - 2010 films 'Resident Evil Series'
I spent more time back in the day watching 'Fight Club' and 'Resident Evil' #1 then anything else, I'm fairly sure. Just ask my friend Cindy. Hell I'm pretty sure I can quote every line in those movies. Resident Evil musically was amazing. Marilyn Manson did such an amazing job in the film and the soundtrack matched it perfectly. As the years went on the soundtracks became more and more epic. This is #1 without a doubt. Check out these artists that helped out through the years; Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Mudvayne, Killswitch Engage, Deftones, Rob Zombie, Flyleaf, It Dies Today, Nightwish, 36 Crazyfists, the list goes on and on. I gotta say 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse' was my favorite out of all of them. That album was perfect in my mind.
