So to kick things off, let’s talk to one of cinema’s most accomplished music supervisors. These are the people who find songs and secure their usage in films, which means they likely played a huge role in shaping your music taste today. Among them, music supervisors are an essential and undersung part of process. Though directors are often given sole credit for a movie’s soundtrack, many people help bring music to the big screen. (We're excluding musicals from both lists, as they feel like a different category entirely.) These are usually multi-artist compilation albums, and almost always include songs with vocals and lyrics. Stay tuned for the best original scores list later in the week. Today, we discuss soundtracks, which we’re defining as collections of songs that have been used in films.

In looking at the greatest movie music of all time, Pitchfork is publishing two separate lists this week: best soundtracks and best original scores. When sound and vision meet, transcendence ensues. It’s impossible to do. Throughout film history, songs have added glory to struggle, majesty to landscapes, depth to heroes and villains alike. Or Super Fly without Curtis Mayfield’s haunted croon. Or Pulp Fiction without Dick Dale’s cataclysmic surf-rock guitar.
What would the movies be without music? Imagine Do the Right Thing without Radio Raheem’s blaring boombox.
