Top Gun (1986) must be counted one of the most influential movies of the 1980s. It propelled Tom Cruise to superstar status, and jetted director Tony (True Romance, 1994; Enemy of the State, 1998) Scott's career into the stratosphere. It also allowed producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer to perfect their multiplex-friendly blockbuster formula of join-the-dots plot, MTV-inspired visuals and rapid-fire action. Not least, it all but invented the modern pop soundtrack. Certainly it was the success of Simon and Garfunkel's The Graduate (1967) which inspired many song soundtracks in the pre-Star Wars (1977) decade, but since Top Gun, soundtrack pop has been gunning for the top like never before. Two singles dominate the album, Berlin's massive hit, 'Take My Breath Away', and Kenny Loggins' 'Danger Zone', both co-written by Giorgio Moroder, who also scored Midnight Express (1978) and penned Blondie's 'Call Me' from American Gigolo (1980). Most of the remainder is up-beat, energetic American AOR stadium pop-rock by bands like Cheap Trick and Loverboy, huge names at the time of the film's release. Rounding out the collection is the electro-instrumental 'Top Gun Anthem' by Harold Faltermeyer, the man behind 'The Heat Is On' from Simpson and Bruckheimer's previous box-office bonanza, Beverly Hills Cop (1984). All in all, a landmark soundtrack. --Gary S. Dalkin

Rating:  - Awesome!
This soundtrack is good but it is missing all the original score! I noticed someone uploaded a picture of the back side of the disc and I noticed that there are the score tracks. I believe that was a fan made cd case. Is that true!??
Rating: - Great
It is a soundtrack. If that is what you want, then this is it.

Years ago I started exercising to this disc on an exercise tape, and really enjoyed it. So, since times have changed, I want to put it on my Blackberry, and go run with it. The tape got here quickly, in good condition, and I am loving it.
Rating: - Essential
I will be brief: any fans of music of movies of the 80's needs to have this soundtrack. It's easily my favorite soundtrack of all time. Track for track, there is something for everyone. It's a shame that soundtracks aren't made like this anymore.
Rating: - Great!
Has some extra compared to the vinyl version I bought a very long time ago :-)
Seems better than the other compiles of Top Gun.
