560.0. "Best Soundtracks of the 80's" by RAB::KARDON (I must not think bad thoughts) Fri Dec 01 1989 19:24

    How about a note for the best soundtracks in the 80's?  Here it is!
    
    		Repo Man
    		Valley Girl
    		Earth Girls are Easy
    		Revenge of the Living Dead
    		Pretty in Pink
    
    Should have been a soundtrack:
    
    		Crimes of Passion

    Betty Blue (one of the best ever, IMHO)
    Bagdad Cafe (great naration on side two, title song superb too)
    Apocalypse Now ("****, I'm still only in Saigon")
    Midnight Express (Georgio M. version)
    
    Soundtrack albums have certainly changed a lot in the 80's.  Either
    they seem to help songs take off as singles, or the other way round.
    One way for Hollywood to get better box office returns, perhaps??
    
    Soundtracks are also pretty collectable, as many are deleted quite
    soon after release.  There's a place in Leeds called Movie Boulevard
    (naff name), that specialises in 'em.
    
    Agree with .1 about Repo Man - very good indeed.

    Just realised, that the latter two in the previous note, were in
    the late 70's (right) ....... but, hell, who cares!
