I usually don't bother with soundtracks. There aren't too many consistent ones to make them worth buying for those rare unreleased tracks.

For me, the most consistent soundtrack was Transformers: The Movie. Not a miss on that one (though the Weird Al track seems out-of-place.) Thankfully, it's also one of the easier soundtracks to get.

And I was lucky to find Shocker, which I have specifically for the Bonfire cover track and for Saraya's best-ever ballad.

I'd love to get ahold of Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (lots of unreleased tracks from obscure bands.) as well as Hearts of Fire (for five unreleased Fiona tracks.) I hit soundtrack bins all the time but always come up empty.

Less on the priority list, Terminator, for three Tane Cain/Trianglz tracks, since her first album was never released to cd, and the second probably won't ever see the light of day.

But you know what I'd really like to see? I'd like to see Stan Bush and/or Vince DiCola release soundtrack albums, collecting everything they've done over movie soundtracks. Both did a TON in the 80's soundtracks and would be worthy purchases.
