I really do like soundtracks. One of my earliest favorite songs were from a movie and a TV Theme song. My first real soundtrack was Star Wars which I adored. The Heavy Metal Soundtrack is still one of my favorite albums. I think it is safe to say that I will always love sound tracks. I just a quick count. I have over 200 soundtrack albums.
As we discussed there are different kinds of soundtracks. There is the original orchestral score like you get with Star Wars, Jurassic Park or The Hunt For Red October. Then there are the collection of songs type of soundtrack like Heavy Metal, High Fidelity, or The Matrix. Then there is the cover songs adapted with a particular theme like Sucker Punch or O Brother Where Art Thou?. Another type is the fake songs by the fictitious band in the movie like Spinal Tap or Scott Pilgrim vs The World.
I like them all. I even have soundtracks of movies that I have never seen just because they had some good songs on them. Here’s a couple of good examples.
