The question came across Twitter recently, and I figured my
answer was worthy of an explanation.
“What is the best movie soundtrack of all time?”
Not sure if that was the exact wording, but it’s close
enough.
You ask a lot of people, you’re going to get a lot of
different answers. Some people will say Saturday Night Fever. Some will say The
Bodyguard. Some will say Boomerang. Some will say Purple Rain. Some will say
New Jersey Drive (with very good reason: it’s #2 to me). I thought Boyz N The
Hood, CB4, and Poetic Justice all had their highlights. However, none of these
soundtracks is at the top of the list.
