Hey what is your overall favorite soundtrack from the 80's. By this I mean one that you actually listen to all of the songs.
I have a few: Top Gun and Footloose, oh and of course Dirty Dancing.
Valley Girl is good too. Anyone have one that they like that is a hard to find?

Good choices! I can listen to REal Genius and Karate Kid all day, along with Pretty and Pink. I know there are some more that I love but my mind is blank right now.

The Lost Boys soundtrack is awesome!
Tootles! Posted by TresFoxy (Member # 542) on :
This is an odd choice since I am pretty sure none of these songs made it on the radio but I love the Labrinth sound track. Can't go wrong with David Bowie!!! dance magic dance magic..... Then of course Karate Kid 1 and 2 are wonderful. The "Glory of Love" will be playing at my wedding!!! Posted by sam hain2 (Member # 1964) on :
Vision Quest soundtrack is awesome, and "Lunatic Fringe" by Red Rider off that soundtrack might be the best cruising main street song of all time.

Devolution here,
Lunatic Fringe rocks!!! I have a copy of the real genius soundtrack too, never released but it was on a website at one time. My favorite, Sixteen Candles, even though you can't get all the songs on a CD, unless you have been searching like me.
It will be mine, oh yes, it will be.

My favourite 80's soundtracks would have to be Heavenly Bodies to say nothing of Rad.
Posted by Bamersy (Member # 8808) on :
Metropolis-Here's My Heart by Pat Benatar all time fave.
Posted by Johnny Roarke is reckless (Member # 9826) on :
Over The Edge (1979)
Technically it's from 1979, but i think the film (and its soundtrack) set some standards for 'rebellious teen'-movies in the decade that followed.
Soundtrack includes Cheap Trick, The Cars and The Ramones.
