The rock soundtrack from The Crow is good. But not nearly as good as Graeme Ravell's score, available as a separate album. _That_ music evokes all the deep melancholy from the film, what was intended in the production as well as the sadness related to the tragic death of Brandon Lee. Maybe not the best upbeat music for working in the shop, but still an amazing soundtrack.

The discomfort with sharing musical taste is so relatable. In middle school, I had a cousin I really liked that basically dismissed my whole musical taste. I liked to listen to dance-pop type stuff like cascada and he came across my iPod and looked through it without knowing who’s it was and was like, “man, this music is weird” That felt real bad and I immediately started to hide what I listen to. 20 years later and I still will tend to omit mentioning I like to listen to that stuff.

As much as I liked the 90's alternative rock my peers did and still do very much, I always knew they thought Phil was dorky soccer mom pop music in a way, even the Genesis stuff. But then in college in the late nineties-early 2000's I had co-workers my age at my job tell me that Phil Collins was great and he shouldn't be a guilty pleasure at all. Also when American Idol became a thing, some of the kids would sing PC songs and the judges would hype him up as a legendary artist. Throwing It All Away by Genesis is still my jam!

as someone who LOVES music & cinema, i have to give props to anything involving Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross as composers. the work they did for David Fincher's "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is impeccable. their remix of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" with Karen O. of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' that plays during the opening Title sequence (which itself is a visual masterpiece) is amazing. And, since You mentioned "Is Your Love Strong Enough" by Bryan Ferry which was part of the 'Legend' OST, Trent & Atticus have/d a side project with Trent's wife on vocals called How to Destroy Angels. They covered "Is Your Love Strong Enough" which plays over the credits of 'Dragon Tattoo' is bone chillingly amazing. i mean that entire film is great, but the OST/Score alone is worth watching for! obviously the score of "Sicario" by the late Johann Johannsson is superb in capturing the ominous vibe that movie has. "Moon" by Duncan Jones, 2009 (staring Sam Rockwell) has a great film score, composed by Clint Mansell. another piece of music i would recommend is "We Three Kings" by Maria Lopez-Gallego. is plays over the credits to Apollo 18, a movie which almost nobody, including myself liked. it was pretty unmemorable in many ways. but that piece of super depressing, yet beautiful piano music over the credits is amazing. as far as straight soundtracks, where to begin! The Crow obviously! Judgment Night (1993) was great. one of my favorites is Dead Presidents (1995). amazing collection of songs!

I feel you about your shyness around your music tastes. I grew up listening to ONLY country and classic rock, parents were born in the 50's, I was born in the 90's. Then we moved to Florida when I was 8 and I was bullied out of my love for country, moved onto rock. Rock love evolved through tons of sub-genres. Soft, hard, metal, heavy metal, hair metal, classic metal, death metal, black metal. But I also grew to like a couple rappers. And a few years ago, I started to listen to country again, almost entirely the 90's stuff I grew up on, though. I'm still shy about admitting I like it, especially to my family cause I know how they'll react hearing I like it again. So, I feel you, man.

I'm now 60. When I was in primary school, I discovered Burt Bacharach. Every Christmas, I'd get the latest ABBA album, which I darn near wore out, but my Dad had a DIY tape off a friend of Burt Bacharach. That tape, I wore out. Beach Boys is another one. I still have my first CD I ever bought. The box set of The Capitol Years. You're not alone.

The score for Kenneth Brannaugh’s “Dead Again” is fabulous, as is Peter Gabriel’s score for “The Last Temptation of Christ.” At the time, anyway, the score for “There Will Be Blood” felt like nothing that had ever been done before. Lesser known soundtracks that are fabulous, as are the movies they’re from: Dream with the Fishes, Jesus’ Son, and Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus.

Oh my gosh so with you on your movie score taste there. I would add to that Ennio Morricone, Ludovico Enaudi. Can’t go past a bit of Hans Zimmer too. A couple of my favourite scores of all time - Nick Cave & Warren Ellis for both Assasination of Jesse James and The Proposition. Stellar, sublime work.

During the pandemic I got into vintage audio equipment and was just constantly stalking thrift stores. I picked up a bunch of movie soundtracks on cassette and here are some absolute bangers (mostly from the ‘80s because cassette): The Big Chill, Cocktail, Footloose, Born on the Fourth of July, Top Gun. ‘80s Tom Cruise movies did not miss.

Oh, and... Since you like the LotR soundtrack (which is awesome), you owe it to yourself to check out Geoffrey Keezer's jazz arrangement of Gollum's Song. It's amazing. Another great non-pop/rock soundtrack is the music for The Secret Garden. Unfortunately, they did not deign to include the Linda Ronstadt song that closes the movie, "Winter Light", but that is another amazing song that deserves a listen (I admit though, it has more impact in the context of the movie). :)

Best way a show has ever used music, The Wire. It was pointed out that all the music in the scenes have a source within the scene that makes it fell real life. You reference the characters Stringer Bell & Omar and real people because of this. The music is always a character in the scene from a source so you feel those tense moments in scene are quite...like they should be in real life. Best sound design in a show ever

Ok Adam I love this question as it fits with me extremely well. I build allot of WWII U.S. Navy ship, and plane model's. and when I am working on them I play the Midway soundtrack by John Williams. it just puts me in the mood to work on the model's. I also when working on a Star Trek, or a Star Wars kit I listen to their movie soundtracks as well. and my family and friends have told me I am weird for doing it. would be interested in everyone else's opinion on that.

I had two 300 CD player carousels hooked together with fiber optic cable to an amp. It could fade in between songs & play favorites & playlists. I had it for years till mp3 players finally came out & did the same job but better. &, yes, it was huge & took up so much shelf space. Almost as much as my widescreen CRT.

Always been fond of scores, in particular those from, videogames. From, 8-bit beeps to full orchestral. Particular favorites, of the latter, from the series of shoot-em-ups originating on the original PlayStation, Medal of Honor, by one Michael Giacchino. The one for "Frontline" is hauntingly beautiful. I should check if he's done anything else... ;)

Respect for mentioning Christine, one of my all time favourites. King opened many of the chapters in the book with verses and choruses from the hits at the time; I was pleased Carpenter understood the importance of the music to add to the story without making it all about the music/artists. Personally, I felt the 'score' or signature sound when Christine was on screen (that hum with the crystal-like peaks) made it a complete picture; it was like the 'beat' of the film.
