I've already thought about a few tracks, though they may be rather well-known. Even though I've seen my share of movies in my lifetime, I wouldn't call myself a big movie buff, so my selection may be somewhat limited.

^^^ Meltdowner, I opted not to allow video games this round. I think that would be worthy of its own round.

^ Raff, I'm looking forward, or should I say listening forward, to hearing ones that I know. I'm hoping for some nostalgic "feelies" in this poll. Knownness won't discourage me from voting for a choice this round.

BTW, I'll mention my other favourites after all the nominations are placed, as people might abstain from nominating them if I did it earlier.

^ If the collaboration. plus him solo, is not in PA, then I think it's fine. Heck, I won't complain if someone does a Phil Collins soundtrack except that I'd then be expected to listen to it. :lol:

I was really tempted to open it up to ones in PA. Love Goblin and others. Vangelis and Oldfield,and Peter Gabriel?, would get votes if nominated, and I love Fabio Frizzi and Alian Goaraguer and others. Will I did leave that issue open to discussion, I do think it better to exclude those that are in PA. It still feels a shame to me. That said, we can always create prog polls on soundtracks in PA (I've done various ones in the past). There isn't as much soundtrack variety in PA, so it's easier to cover a lot of ground than with ones not in PA in a non-interactive way, or interactive in having an "other" option.

I have that soundtrack, and love the film. I love various Zbigniew Preisner soundtracks for Kieslowski films. My personal favourites are for Blue, White and Red (the Three Colours trilogy).

And just a note lest people forget, I plan to copy-paste the names into the poll from your post and would like the format to be Composer - "Track Name" - Film name. Such standardised formatting will make it easier for me and if people don't all post the relevant info (composer, name of track, film) I might make mistakes. Making minor adjustments is not a big deal as long as you have posted in text the relevant info and I don't have look it up/ research or type it myself. It is easier if I can just copy post it (in one line) into the poll options and we all use the same format.

My third alternative:  One of my all-time favorite movies is "O Brother Where Art Thou", so I have to include one from that soundtrack.

It's important to respect the rule of NON-PROG SONGS here. We are not here to post Goblin, that everyone here in PA knows just for their soundtracks. The spirit of these Interactive polls is to share our fave non-prog music, especially if it is music less-known. So, it's the opposite than to post Goblin or Vangelis or Oldfield or Gabriel: they are very well-known prog artists and their music for films are famous. No interest in this. Instead, in the Prog Poll category it is possible to post the prog songs, if someone wants to open Interactive Survey there, and in that case, in my opinion, the rules were far too restrictive, because choosing only between albums with less than 50 reviews it seems to me excessive.  I would have excluded only the first 10 albums in each category and the first 200 albums in the general ranking.
