Comment:

Maybe other decades had better movies, but we're willing to bet that no other decade had better movie [i]soundtracks[/i] — soundtracks that, in many cases, outlasted the films themselves. Former Stevie Wonder sideman Michael Sembello cranks out a wonder of his own, ratcheting the hi-NRG, high-wattage tension of "Maniac" to seam-splitting proportions as Jennifer Beals turns [i]Flashdance[/i] into "splashdance" under the strobe lights' stark sparks. Survivor packs a hammer-fisted combination of body-blow power chords and ring-rattling vocals in "Eye of the Tiger," their chart-topping theme for [i]Rocky III[/i]. And ex-Righteous Brother Bill Medley gets his lovin' feelin' back, pairing with Jennifer Warnes — and racking up both a GRAMMY® Award [i]and[/i] Academy Award® in the process — for [i]Dirty Dancing[/i]'s sweet 'n' sexy centerpiece, "(I've Had) The Time of My Life." From [i]Ghostbusters[/i] to [i]Against All Odds[/i], from [i]Purple Rain[/i] to [i]Fame[/i], every one of these box-office blockbusters has an equally impressive theme song — and we're bringing you the best of the best.
