If the soundtrack has to be able to stand on its own, so does the movie, and they are even better together. I know there are many great 80’s movie soundtracks from smaller films or cult hits, but in my mind a film is a hit because of all the elements working together. Second, the soundtrack had to be from a popular or hit film at the time it was released. If you play the song, most people would be able to identify the movie. First, there has to be a seminal song on the soundtrack that immediately causes association with the film. So, in order to narrow down the very wide field I had to make some stipulations.
The 80’s had many very memorable scores, but that’s a topic for another day.) A movie’s SCORE is an entirely different (but related) thing where it is original music composed specifically for, and written around the film. (Note: I’m only looking at SOUNDTRACKS, you know, music recorded by artists but not specifically for the film they are featured in. In this article I set out to determine which are the 10 best soundtracks of the 1980’s. That influence of changing instruments, and changing styles was heard clearly in the movie soundtracks of the era. The 80’s saw an explosion of keyboards, synths, pads, and drum machines. As styles moved away from traditional rock, and soul, improving technology allowed the contributions and embracing of electronic instruments.
The 1980’s was a decade of significant sonic evolution in terms of music both mainstream and lesser-known.
