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.

ROCKETMAN

2019

The soundtrack for the biopic based on the life of Elton John is packed with hits by the legendary piano player. Taron Egerton who portrayed the rock star, bravely tackles the subject’s catalogue. The end result is a convincing and precise interpretation. Some tracks also feature other cast members, including Jamie Bell and Richard Madden. The LP closes with Egerton and John duetting on the Academy Award winner “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again”, the only new song; it sits comfortably alongside classics such as “I’m Still Standing”, “Tiny Dancer”, “Crocodile Rock” and “Your Song”.
