Agreed, ruins the Powerslave album IMO

I seemed to recall your grudge against the 'fruit act' Dem, so I was expecting something along these lines in regards to Thief... I wouldn't let that put you off seeing it though. It's one of Mann's best along with Manhunter in my opinion... not like that Heat bollocks.

I've just realised I haven't included Queen's soundtrack for Flash Gordon, but I don't know what it would replace.

Heat...no...don't start arguing with B_E...he's trying to wind you up.

On a serious note though. Although i don't agree with much in your top 10, it just goes to show the almost limitless range of a film score and the wide variety of styles which can be applied. I also notice you steer clear of classic theme music when it comes to a score. The likes of Bernstein, Williams etc.

Title song aside it could replace Flash of the Blade at the bottom of the barrel.

I like all of the songs and, after a while, it just becomes the film without pictures.

Nice to see The Crow and Taxi Driver get some more love Nos.

Great choices with assault and Maniac B_E. Both Maniac and it's Remake almost made my list.
