Fitzz, are you familiar with 'Nighthawks' a very underated action film starring Stallonne and Billy Dee Williams? That's what you call a soundtrack!
Can't believe nobody mentioned Jean-Michel Jarre or Public Enemy!

Very familiar ...it's one of the few Stallone films I like...and Rutger Hauer as Wolfgar was a fantastic villain...and your spot on, the soundtrack was great.

In case nobody know's what the hell me and Fitzz are talking about (nothing new there) here's a sample video from the 'NightHawks' soundtrack. Old school 80s action with Keith Emerson on synth. We shall never see it's like again

Yeah, we do sort of wander into obscure areas now and again don't we.. ...And speaking of great soundtrack albums from the 80's...

Right so....no fancy pics for me either, however here go's..
1: Misplaced Childhood by Marillion
2: Master Of Puppets by Metallica
3: Pyromania by Def Leppard
4: A Night At The Opera by Queen
5: IV by Led Zepplin
I could try and quantify my choices, in fact I think I will....
Misplaced Childhood is one of the best fething albums ever written and performed by any rock band. Ever. With songs like 'Kayleigh' and 'Heart Of Lothian' as well as the less well known, but brilliant 'Blind Curve' it's true rock royalty playing at their very best...And Fish was a freaking poet.
Master Of Puppets, well what can you say about the best Metallica album? 'Orion', 'Sanitarium' and 'Master Of Puppets' all on the same cd? Hell yeah! It remains a masterclass in song writing and music, it's also of course the last studio album that the late great Cliff Burton played on. And his rumbling bass lines can be clearly heard all the way through the album, tying the tracks together like so much glue..
Pyromania, I make no secret of my love for Def Leppard. For me they are the only British rock group that does stadium rock perfectly (aside from Queen, but without Freddie, Queen are nowt) and I grew up listening too and loving Def Leppard. Tbh it was a straight toss up between this or 'Hysteria', but 'Rock Of Ages' swung it Pyromania's way in the end..
And speaking of Queen, 'A Night At The Opera' is, for me anyway, a true classic. From the opener 'Death On Two Legs' through to 'Bohemian Rhapsody' it's just fething brilliant. I can't think of another Queen album that I still listen too regularly, although 'News Of The World' is cracking as well..
And a top five list would not be complete without some Led Zep. 'IV' is absolutely, hands down, the best Led Zep album available to buy. At the top of thier game whilst they recorded this, it has some proper classic rock tunes on it such as 'Black Dog' 'Misty Mountain Hop' and of course, 'Stairway To Heaven'.

The Blackening by Machine Head is the most amazing album I have ever head. Please anyone who reads this go listen to the whole thing.
Recoil by Nonpoint was quite good.
The Marshal Mathers by Eminem is an album I almost have memorized. The lyrics are so sharp and memorable.
Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park is still something I regularly listen to.
The Golden Age of Grotesque by Marilyn Manson is another album that I can listen to infinitely.
Something about those albums and the way the tracks are arranged makes them so repeat worthy. The Blackening and Golden Age of Grotesque are particularly theatrical and flow well from song to song. The Blackening very specifically is arranged to be one long piece of music with multiple segments. Most of it's songs are long. Very amazing piece of work. Eminem and Manson's music feature a sort of ambiance I really enjoy in the backgrounds of many songs. Hybrid Theory's music is simple and to the point. Shinoda's vocals were good on that album, but in later works his voice was damaged. Recoil I like similarly to Hybrid Theory for it's simplicity.
Go listen to The Blackening someday.
