Best 90s Soundtrack Tournament Round 2
The Batman helped remind us of the greatness of the Batman Forever soundtrack. And Batman soundtrack. And Batman Returns. And Batman and Robin. So we decided to figure out the best 90s soundtrack.
We polled our writers on their favorite 90s soundtracks. What follows are the 32 remaining picks.
We did not include The Bodyguard, Dead Man, Night on Earth or Spiceworld since those are albums by one artist and could be considered typical, non-film albums. We did not include The Nightmare Before Christmas because it’s an original score. We did not include Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me because it’s an original score with one song from the TV series.
Our four conferences are separated by release date. We decided to include Josie and the Pussycats as a 90s film since it’s as 90s a film as you can get without being released in the 90s.
Our films are ranked by their AllMusic rating. Since the rating is a culmination of reviews, it seems to be the fairest representation of critical acclaim.
If you’d like to see the 32 OST the following soundtracks defeated, check out Round 1. Only one matchup went to a runoff. Congrats to the Reality Bites soundtrack and condolences to the Singles soundtrack.
