The Blues Brothers soundtrack changed my life and the way I play guitar & bass.

The Crow. Stone Temple Pilots, Pantera, Rage Against the Machine, The Cure, Helmet, on and on and on. And, a lot of the songs were specifically written for the movie.

The most revelatory soundtrack I’ve experienced was from “Oh Brother, where art thou”. The reason being, I always found Bluegrass really creepy until seeing this film and hearing its music. I immediately bought the soundtrack CD and have had a new fondness and appreciation for BG music ever since! 😊❤

Tron: Legacy is one of my favorite soundtracks to listen to while working. Side note it’s sad how many of us have scars from school like not talking about what we actual Iike.

That Lost Boys song was definitely one that stayed with me. I mainly remember the kids singing the "though shall not..." parts. It was kinda haunting.

"Music lives with us. Always there to remind us of the people, places and events of our times. An essence of what we once were and what we'll always be." This phrase was on a mural in one of my high school stairways. Its simple phrase that has a deep meaning.

The end credits song that has hit me the strongest is definitely Moby's Extreme Ways in the original Bourne. For some reason it just felt so right and created precisely the right atmosphere in my opinion.

Grosse Pointe Blank. The first CD I ever bought, before I owned a CD player! Still love it.

John Carpenter's 1982 "The Thing". Haunting score.

Never feel embarrassed for liking the things that bring you joy! I learned that from Adam!

Sorcerer 1977 with soundtrack by Tangerine Dream, absolutely entrancing

Recently watched “Baby Driver” and was very impressed with the great songs and how they intertwined with the story.

I agree with you on The Lost Boys. Not just the credit music, but the whole soundtrack. A few others are: The Big Chill, Sliver, Wild Orchid, Pump Up The Volume, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension is one my favorite, which never was released due to a dispute between composer and film company.

I always come back to Tool. The lyrics have touched every stage of my life and they have pushed the limits of what can be done with three musicians and a singer. Plus one of the greatest living drummers in the world right now.

I spent a ton of my childhood playing with lego listening to Casey Kasem in the 90s. It's so absurd how birds-of-a-feather I feel with Adam. Simpatico.

'Good Morning Vietnam' - got me through many an all-nighter at university...every track a winner

The discomfort with sharing musical taste is so relatable. In middle school, I had a cousin I really liked that basically dismissed my whole musical taste. I liked to listen to dance-pop type stuff like cascada and he came across my iPod and looked through it without knowing who’s it was and was like, “man, this music is weird” That felt real bad and I immediately started to hide what I listen to. 20 years later and I still will tend to omit mentioning I like to listen to that stuff.

Don't forget Conan 1982, Excalibur 1981, Dune 1984. Excellent soundtracks.
