Damone’s Top 10 Movie Soundtracks of All Time

🎨 Artist Notes

Style: Bold screen-printed punk zine meets retro rental store. Echoes of Frank Kozik and Art Chantry—saturated reds, VHS blues, cassette-tape chaos, and Vans soul.

🎤 Here’s the deal, kid

Movie soundtracks aren’t background music—they’re the heartbeat, the gut punch, the sleazy cousin who shows up late and makes the party unforgettable. The best ones don’t just support the scene—they become the scene. They hijack your stereo, spin your guts into gold, and tattoo a moment on your soul.

🔥 The 10 That Still Kick In the Doors

⚡ 1. “Rockstar” (2001)
A glam-metal fairytale soaked in sweat and desperation. “We All Die Young” is your new religion. This one doesn’t blink—it roars.
🎧 Standout: “We All Die Young” – Steel Dragon (feat. Jeff Scott Soto)

⚡ 2. “Natural Born Killers” (1994)
Trent Reznor cracked your skull and stitched it back with razorwire. Soundtrack as fever dream.
🎧 Standout: “Burn” – Nine Inch Nails

⚡ 3. “Saturday Night Fever” (1977)
This isn’t disco—it’s survival. Bee Gees invented the strut. Polyester never stood a chance.
🎧 Standout: “Stayin’ Alive” – Bee Gees

⚡ 4. “Pulp Fiction” (1994)
Tarantino turned your mixtape obsession into art. Surf, soul, and sass with a bullet.
🎧 Standout: “Son of a Preacher Man” – Dusty Springfield

⚡ 5. “The Big Chill” (1983)
Soul music for the wrecked and romantic. Marvin Gaye heals wounds you didn’t know you had.
🎧 Standout: “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg” – The Temptations

⚡ 6. “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” (1982)
This is teenage heartbreak in cassette form. Foghat’s “Slow Ride” is a rite of passage.
🎧 Standout: “Slow Ride” – Foghat

⚡ 7. “The Crow” (1994)
Goth grunge with a vengeance. Brandon Lee haunts every track. The Cure’s “Burn” will follow you down alleyways.
🎧 Standout: “Burn” – The Cure

⚡ 8. “Trainspotting” (1996)
Britpunk, techno, and chemical romance. Iggy Pop’s “Lust for Life” is the ultimate hit-and-run.
🎧 Standout: “Lust for Life” – Iggy Pop

⚡ 9. “Dazed and Confused” (1993)
This one smells like weed, teenage sweat, and spilled Schlitz. “Sweet Emotion” = musical kegstand.
🎧 Standout: “Sweet Emotion” – Aerosmith

⚡ 10. “Almost Famous” (2000)
A love letter to everything sacred about rock. “Tiny Dancer” hits like your first heartbreak under tour bus stars.
🎧 Standout: “Tiny Dancer” – Elton John

💥 Honorable Mention

⚡ “Guardians of the Galaxy” (2014)
Awesome Mix Vol. 1 is what your soul sounds like if you grew up near a K-Mart with a killer tape rack.
🎧 Standout: “Hooked on a Feeling” – Blue Swede

✅ Damone’s Moves

• 🎬 Soundtracks are time machines. The needle drop is the time jump.
• 🎸 A great film scene means nothing without the perfect track behind it.
• 💿 If it doesn’t make you want to start a band, it doesn’t belong on the list.

❌ The Attitude Rejects

• 🚫 “Soundtracks don’t matter.” Try saying that after “Stuck in the Middle With You.”
• 🚫 Scores > Soundtracks. Nah, kid. Not unless your name’s Morricone.
• 🚫 “I just stream the songs I like.” That’s why your playlists suck.

🕯️ Damone’s Final Word

These aren’t just albums—they’re the mixtapes that raised us. They played through heartbreak, hangovers, breakups, breakdowns, first gigs, last dances, and stolen moments behind a bowling alley. They still ring out when your bones crack or your heart swells. If you haven’t played one of these front to back in the last year, you owe yourself a rewatch and a replay.

Still tappin’, still burnin’.
That’s the Attitude.
