You'll never guess what I voted for! [Big Grin]

I am with you Mouse Avenger! I think the Purple One may just win this one! I also voted for Singles and Dazed and Confused.

I voted for Dazed and Confused, Grosse Point Blank, Pulp Fiction, Saturday Night Fever and Valley Girl.

My question though why isn't Grease on the list?
 
Posted by Nice Guy Sammy_Hain (Member # 3150) on :
 
or for that matter where is Fast Times at Ridgemont High?

I voted Rocky Horror Picture Show because my alltime favorite soundtrack wasn't listed. Believe it or not, Dumb and Dumber has an amazing soundtrack. I bought the CD straight after watching the film 12 years ago, and I still listen to it regularly today!

Spinal Tap gets my vote!!!!

Wow the majority of those are from the 80s too! I think that VH1 is so awesome all of the attention that they have given the 80s! Rock on!
 
Posted by Nice Guy Sammy_Hain (Member # 3150) on :
 
But still the great omissions are Fast Times and Grease. Hard to imagine a greatest movie soundtrack poll would leave out both of those.

Less than Zero and The Doors both got votes from me........

I cast my vote for "Purple Rain".

I won't be watching the countdown, though. I don't watch VH1 Classic anymore. It's not just because they're playing 90s videos. It's because they're also playing stuff like "Supergroup" and "Heavy: The History Of Metal". That's the same (bleep) they're playing on regular VH1. Give me *music videos*, for God's sake!

Sincerely,

John Kilduff

Sometimes I see 80's stuff like Drive Me Wild on there, if it makes you feel any better, RockSteady. [Smile]

I voted for "Pretty In Pink". That's a classic. I hope it ends up high on the list.

Is anyone else watching this awesome show this morning?

Here's a brief summary of the 80's movie soundtracks that made the list, plus some of the music videos they played:

#19. Pretty In Pink Soundtrack

They played the title track video "Pretty In Pink" by The Psychedelic Furs. That was one incredible music video.

#13. The Breakfast Club Soundtrack

"Don't You (Forget About Me") music video by Simple Minds.

#12. Dirty Dancing Soundtrack

"(I've Had) The Time Of My Life" by Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes and Eric Carmen's "Hungry Eyes".

#10. Eddie & The Cruisers Soundtrack

On The Dark Side

#8. Footloose Soundtrack

Holding Out For A Hero
Footloose
Let's Hear It For The Boy

#7. ***Valley Girl Soundtrack*** [Big Grin]

Melt With You by Modern English - this video is weak...it would have served them better to play the montage from the movie.

#6. Top Gun Soundtrack

Take My Breath Away
Danger Zone

#2 Purple Rain

When Doves Cry

Btw, Mouse Avenger you were cheated by the #1 soundtrack which turned out to be The Rocky Horror Picture Show . VH1 Classic later found a link from their official website and it caused a landslide tilt in the vote. But who am I to complain because I posted the link here and tons of 80's movies made the list as well.

In a bit of irony that Sammy was eluding to...VH1 Classic is showing the movie "Grease" right after the soundtrack countdown. Do you think that as just coincidental or as a make up attempt?
 
Posted by Nice Guy Sammy_Hain (Member # 3150) on :
 
where was Dazed and Confused on the list?
 
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
 
Sam, Dazed & Confused was an impressive #4.

So long as Purple Rain was in the top 10, I'm cool with it. [Smile]
