now I have to second Above the Rim, second Dreamgirls, Purple Rain, and Waiting to Exhale.

Don’t forget about MenaceIISociety (“top of the world,” or MC Eight, wow I’m dated) or
Dead Presidents

Juice was okay too back when I was a rap head I have to plug New Jersey Drive Sdtk.

I think that the Boomerang really started the revolution in modern soundtracks. That was a hot album! I think my all time favorite is still Waiting to Exhale. I can still pull that cd out and sing every word to it when I am going through a little something.

If I had to pull together a list I would add “higher Learning” & “Low Down Dirty Shame”. I bump these often.

I liked the Preacher’s Wife soundtrack. And no, I don’t “buy soundtracks” anymore, but I did consider it when I saw I Think I Love My Wife.

space jam was a tight soundtrack!

HIT EM HIGH HIT EM HIGH HIT EM HIGH – HIT EM LOW HIT EM LOW HIT EM LOW!

Most importantly R Kelly had the blockbuster hit: we can watch bugs bunny in bently, pt 14.

still it doesn’t deserve topten.

love jones was tight, as was purple rain, as was superfly. to be a top soundtrack you have to crystalize definitive moment in time.

i’m just disappointed souljah boi’s “tell em: de ohficial soundtrak” didn’t make the cut.

clearly we’re witnessing alittle age-ism…. that’s all i’m saying.

MattPat -
I can’t deny that I Would Die 4 U and When Doves Cry are classics … despite Prince’s messiah complex in the former song. The truth is I haven’t heard enough of Purple Rain to say it shouldn’t be #1.

I’m just saying folks shouldn’t act like Mary J. Blige aint rip, “I was ya luvah and yo sek-kuh-terry!”

Dupree -
Only the Whitney Houston tracks on Bodyguard were cool. Side B was kinda garbage.

Leah -
I’m sure Lion King is on there. The soundtrack alone won like 10 awards.

Others emailed me privately and said don’t forget Space Jam (I Believe I Can Fly) and Love Jones (the official neo soul soundtrack).

Do people still by soundtracks … I mean of movies that are NOT musicals?
