This year was particularly great for the compilation and musical soundtracks. The soundtrack for Black Panther and A Star Is Born got more nominations than just about every other artist at this years Grammy’s. Yet, the thing that always gets ignored by the general audience is how good the musical score soundtracks are for each of the year’s great films. Much of it is worth listening to outside the confines of just watching the films and some rivals even Beethoven or Mozart. This year had a few big stand outs for me and here’s the list of the best musical score soundtracks of 2018!
10. Daniel Hart – The Old Man and the Gun
9. Kris Bowers – Green Book
8. Alexandre Desplat – Isle of Dogs
7. John Williams and John Powell – Solo: A Star Wars Story
6. Nicholas Britell – If Beale Street Could Talk
5. Marc Shaiman – Mary Poppins Returns
4. Lorne Balfe – Mission Impossible: Fallout
3. Justin Hurwitz – First Man
2. Alan Silvestri – Ready Player One
1. Ludwig Goransson – Black Panther
