wiffleball 4,645 Posted July 12, 2017 Man, I definitely want to drink with Parrot before I die. More often than not, we are vibing on the same groove. Came into here to say: "It may just be my 'era' and my recollection, but to me, the one Soundtrack (if there could be only one) that really made soundtracks relevant was "VisionQuest". I mean, just a great selection of artists - and not just old stuff or scored for that movie kind of stuff - som of the hottest artists of the time mixed in with a combination of original score, old school, etc. Again, for me, what stands out is: You can't count movies like "Grease", "Dirty Dancing" "Purple Rain" "Staying Alive" - Because they are basically (if not literally)-musicals. VisionQuest wasn't. The songs were, however, an integral part of advancing the storyline and setting the mood/vibe. Again, you can argue which one stands out - created the genre, but even Top Gun came out a year later - and a lot of that music was specially scored just for the movie. Whatever you choose - The mid-80's seemed to definitely set the bar for soundtracks in movies - and then, move to Television. Remember when Miami Vice was SO cutting edge because it was 'part MTV?'. There's a lot of popular TV out now that try (to varying degrees of success or failure) to integrate popular music into their storylines. - You didn't see that prior to then.

Not by me, but I have it in the CD player in my truck right now, and it's been there for months. Any Cameron Crowe flick will have a great ST. Same with Tarantino. Same with Scorsese. Same with John Hughes. Jerry McGuire, Say Anything, Vanilla Sky, Singles, Elizabethtown. All tremendous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
