Battlefield Earth - Original Soundtrack

Advantages: Beautiful music that you can listen to for years
Disadvantages: None! (Though to fully appreciate this, listen to the OST's for the 1st 2 movies 1st.

...signature. The final track on the soundtrack - "Into The West" - was performed by Annie Lennox and won an Oscar for "Best Original Song". I personally have quite a large collection of music from a whole variety of genre's. often, i will make playlists in which i will have only rock music or only classical music and so forth. I have never wanted or felt the need to add the LOTR soundtracks to any of these playlists. These soundtracks are in a league of their own. They create the sounds of various places and cultures from the entire world of middle-earth and for this reason, it could never blend with other music. They stand proud on their own and the Return of the King soundtrack is no exception. It is certainly my favourite of the three soundtracks. The same themes are present that were in the FOTR soundtrack though they have grown and changed... Read review

Advantages: Iconic and legendary tracks, nice cover art
Disadvantages: Some tracks are merely repetitions of earlier tracks

...The soundtrack to the film '2001: A Space Odyssey' is regarded in many different ways, just as the film itself is. Containing very little original material, but rather being an original combination of classical sounds, the soundtrack is powerful, harrowing and reminiscent of the images of the film.

Advantages: All my fav songs come from this film
Disadvantages: its not a pop record so britney lovers turn away now!

...Literally the best soundtrack that is on earth at this moment, i love it! All of the songs fit the film so well and there isnt a track on the album you'll want to skip, with its fusion of brit rock, dance and beautiful ballads. The ambience that this soundtrack creates is amazing, it puts you through so many emotions, such as angst and realisation during Placebo's 'Every You, Every Me' and love and sorrow as Counting Crows 'I am ready' pulls on your heart strings, this album is deifnately amazing. I particularly like the song 'Bittersweet Symphony' by The Verve because it really suits the scene of Katherines Demise as she gets her cummupance! Also Blurs 'Coffe and TV' is just a nice easy listening track that can make you feel different each time you hear it, the same with Skunk Anancies 'Secretly'. All of the songs on this soundtrack...
