Soundtracks

Some people like listening to pop, others like rock, I like listening to movie soundtracks. For proof, just look at my 2023 Apple Music replay stats.

For some reason there are two "Soundtrack" genres, and "Original Score" literally means soundtrack, so I basically only listen to soundtracks.

In my view, 50% of a movie's value is determined by its soundtrack, so some mediocre movies actually get highly rated in my book. If a movie has a good soundtrack and the actual movie itself is good(narrative/cinematography all those other stuff), that would be the best. It is quite rare though.

By the way my favorite artist is John Williams, and I wish to go to his concert before it's to late. He's an absolute legend.

Ultimate Soundtrack Playlist

This playlist includes what I think are some of the best tracks in existence. I tried to limit the number of tracks for each movie/show, so things like StarWars (which has like a hundred legendary tracks) isn't accurately reflected.
