Our good friend Stan Bush dropped us a line to let us know that the 1986 Transformers movie soundtrack has just been honored by totalscifionline.com. They have listed their Top 10 Sci-Fi movie soundtracks of all-time. Not surprisingly, the original Star Wars (or Episode IV: A new Hope, if you prefer) took top honors but the animated Transformers movie found its way onto the list at #10.

Here is what totalscifionline.com had to say about the Transformers soundtrack.

Queen’s gloriously bombastic score for Flash Gordon also ranked highly, as did the classical soundtrack to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Perhaps surprisingly, the soundtrack to 1986’s Transformers: The Movie clocked in at number 10 ahead of more obvious choices, proving that Vince DiCola and Stan Bush have still got – to quote the soundtrack’s most famous song – “The Touch”.

You may view the original article which has the complete Top 10 here.

Not a surprise, really. I would say it's the greatest soundtrack I have ever heard.

For me,3 tracks comes in my mind:
-Unicron Theme(Pretty cool)
-Death of Optimus Prime(Sad,but very welll done0
-The Touch(Not the most amazing music ever,but seems to fit the movie and the time,the feel,you know?)

I was a little surprised, the other movies are much bigger "names" so it shows how much that soundtrack kicks butt.

This made me smile.

Nice.

Not surprising that Star Wars and Star Trek made the top five. In fact, Star Trek is in there twice (#2 and #4).

It is a great soundtrack.

My favorite cuts are

"Instruments of Destruction"
"Nothin's Gonna Stand in Our Way"
"Dare"
"Transformers (theme)"
"Dare"
"The Touch"

I do like the instrumental stuff too, but these just kick ass.

ROCK ON!!!

I agree, man, this is really, in my view, the best soundtrack I own. I love every track and don't just like 3 and skip the other 10, like one would do for another soundtrack. I was even listening to the thing when I came acrossed this article. The music is just so darn good and perfect for this movie. Vince DiCola and Stan Bush, I gotta say, nice job fellas

Hell yeah! I still listen to this soundtrack at least once a month. I actually burned some tracks so I could listen to it in my car!

FINALLY, people are realizing what we knew all along; this soundtrack kicks ass!

Woo hoo for a movie that bombed at the boxoffice when originally released it has had a long afterlife. I too have it on a mix mp3 cd in the car as well as having it on my mp3 player.
