I know some people are obssesive about soundtracks. They love the scores, the composers, the exclusive tracks, but what if you were asked to name your top 5 soundtracks? What would you say? Would you go with a score? Would you cite the album that has a rare cut from one of your favorite bands? Would you look at the soundtrack as musically cohesive?

My wife has been a UB40 fan for their entire career, and so I have come to know them very well . Labour of Love from UB40 is a great album that I've listened to countless times, and recently I bought a Jimmy Cliff album.
