The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (Expanded)»rank: 2603from: Capitol
: :The concluding chapter of director Sergio Leone's epochal Man With No Name trilogy ushered film scorer Ennio Morricone into the pop mainstream courtesy of a hit cover of its main title by American Hugo Montenegro. More importantly, it both showcased the composer's spectacularly inventive range and set him up for even greater triumphs to come with Leone and others. But aficionados of il Maestro Morricone's G,B&U soundtrack knew its original editions contained but the main thematic/musical elements of the spaghetti western ... |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Once More, with Feeling»rank: 1162by: Various Artists, Joss Whedon, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Christophe Beck
: :While the idea of infusing a weekly TV series with a Broadway musical ethos isn't exactly a new one--think Randy Newman's ambitious Cop Rock--it became something of a turn-of the-century television mini-trend. But few have reached as far--or succeeded--like this November 2001 episode of Fox Network's Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Penned by series creator-producer Joss Whedon and performed by Sarah Michelle Gellar and cast, it's a loving, loopy musical pastiche that takes potshots at everything from Andrew Lloyd Webber to alt-rock. ... |

The Music Man (1962 Film Soundtrack)»rank: 2938by: Meredith Willson, Robert Preston, Shirley Jones
: :ln light of all the hit Broadway musicals that have stumbled in their translation to the big screen, The Music Man stands out as an exception; it is one of the best-loved movie musicals of all time. A great deal of the credit goes to composer Meredith Willson, who resisted studio pressure to hire a big name for the title role (Frank Sinatra or Cary Grant) in favor of the Tony-winning stage star, Robert Preston, who turns in one of Hollywood's ... |

No Direction Home: The Soundtrack (The Bootleg Series Vol. 7)»rank: 1382by: Bob Dylan
: :Book-ended with an embryonic recording made by a high school friend and a live, boisterous take of 'Like a Rolling Stone' less than seven years later, the fifth release in the Bob Dylan Bootleg series (and the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's Dylan documentary of the same name) proffers just how far the folk idol turned rock star had come between his last year in a Minnesota high school and 1966's contentious UK tour. The double CD is sequenced chronologically and features ... |

Practical Magic: Music From The Motion Picture»rank: 2589from: Reprise / Wea
: :How do you put together a soundtrack for a comedy about witches--'90s style? Well, if she's young and her name is Sabrina, you compile an album of relentless teen pop and R&B hits. But if your witches are a little more mature (and, perhaps, suburban), as in Practical Magic, you use a different formula. And the brew found here is actually a good mix: Faith Hill gets as much play (one track) as Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell. Mitchell's 'A Case ... |

Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1992 Canadian Cast)»rank: 1469by: Tim Rice, Donny Osmond
: :Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat completed the transition from cantata for schoolkids to big-budget glitzfest with Steven Pimlott's 1991 London revival. Here's the 1992 Canadian version of that show, and even if it's not an ideal recording--Janet Metz as the narrator is no match for Laurie Beechman in the original Broadway cast and there's a little too much synthesizer in the orchestrations--this CD is valuable for the performance of former teen pop idol Donny ... |

Streets Of Fire: A Rock & Roll Fable (1984 Film)»rank: 1556from: MCA Records
: :The film soundtrack that acted as the vehicle to promote the late Dan Hartman's last hit single 'l Can Dream About You' as well as The Fixx's 'Deeper And Deeper', plus tracks from Marilyn Martin, Greg Phillinganes, Maria McKee, Ry Cooder, The Blasters and more. |

Dirty Dancing: Original Soundtrack From The Vestron Motion Picture»rank: 1804from: RCA
: :lf film and music fans sometimes wonder why soundtracks are often little more than pastiches of past pop hits and chart flavors of the moment, it's largely due to the blockbuster success of releases like this collection from 1987's surprise Patrcik Swayze/Jennifer Grey romantic hit. The film's retro-romantic concerns came shrewdly wrapped in a (largely manufactured) dance craze conceit tailor-made for such pop chestnuts as the Ronettes' 'Be My Baby,' the Zodiacs' 'Stay,' and the Five Satins' 'ln the Still of ... |
