Indiewire Best Scores of the 1980s

Indiewire has published a list of their (well, two writers’) best scores of the 1980s.

Check it out—but be warned, it’s approaching film scoring from an indie-film perspective. (It is, after all, Indiewire.)

There is some overlap with what soundtrack collectors would pick—The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Blade Runner, RoboCop—but lots more that film music fans probably don’t know or care about at all.

I mean, I’m me, and I still haven’t heard some of these!

But I appreciate hearing a different perspective.
