What are the best soundtracks of all time? I guess it's all a matter of opinion, but I'd say that these soundtracks are pretty fantastic. In fact, you probably already own them. Find out the top 20 soundtracks here and enter to win a live-action Beauty and The Beast Soundtrack. This unbiased post is sponsored by Disney.

What does it take to make a good soundtrack? A good soundtrack should be like a fashion collection. The songs should be cohesive. Every song should make sense and give you the same vibe. You should be comfortable listening to the full soundtrack without skipping a song. Not every soundtrack is enjoyable. Just because you like one song, doesn't necessarily mean that you'll like the others. It takes a really good director to find or create music that blends together beautifully. The soundtrack should give you the same feelings that the movies did. And maybe, just maybe, you'll find a song or two that you haven't heard of before.

Guardians of The Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY AWESOME MIX VOL. 1 is the collection of songs featured in the film. Music plays a major role in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY as the 1970s songs featured in the film are part of the storyline in a unique way. Explaining how the songs come to play in the story, director James Gunn says, ‘One of the main story points in the movie is that Quill has this compilation tape (Awesome Mix #1) that he got from his mother before she died that she made for him. It was of songs that she loved, all songs from the 1970s, and that's the only thing he has left of his mother and that's the only thing he has left of his home on Earth. He uses that as a connection to his past and to the sadness that he feels of having left all that and lost all that.

Waiting to Exhale

Waiting to Exhale is the exception that proves the rule about mish-mash '90s soundtrack albums. Even though it features 22 different female voices, the album boasts a rare continuity because Babyface wrote or cowrote 15 of the songs and produced all 16. Moreover, the gifted R&B artist used every song to explore the film's theme of women trying to balance self-respect and romantic desire. Not only has Babyface (nee Kenny Edmonds) created a fascinating song suite, he has produced one of the best middle-of-the-road-pop, adult- contemporary albums of the decade. Mary J. Blige stakes out a claim as the new diva on the block with an astonishing performance on “Not Gon' Cry.” Babyface's music and lyrics suggest a woman barely holding back a swelling flood of anger and heartache, and Blige's brilliant vocal captures both the agitation and the restraint. —Geoffrey Himes
