THE MOST ESSENTIAL

MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS

For decades, songs and movies have been matched. The most successful are effective tools, cross-promoting both the music and the film in which they are featured; giving one or both longevity. Here are 50 Motion Picture Soundtrack Albums that evoke memories of the films they appeared in. The criteria was to include only movie soundtracks which consisted largely of new material, rather than a compilation of older songs or remakes.

L ET IT BE

1970

The ‘Let It Be’ documentary was unleashed in the same year that The Beatles announced it was breaking up. Although the album was recorded prior to ‘Abbey Road’, it was issued after it. The LP captures John, Paul, George and Ringo during the period where the Fab Four was splintering. It therefore served as an unexpected swansong for the band.
