In part two of My Favorite Music of 2017 we get to
combine both of my extracurricular passions—music and movies (and a little TV).
I listen to just about as much soundtrack music as I do popular music. I
probably even try more soundtrack music out, but these are the ones I kept
coming back to over and over again throughout the year. I divided the music
into three categories—movie scores, television scores and compilation soundtracks.
The compilations are new to this year’s entries. Popular music has long been an
element in movies, and at about the time of the Miami Vice television series
producers and studios realized that good music compilation soundtracks could be
additional moneymakers. They soon became a staple. I kept this list down this
year, because I really don’t listen to a whole lot of pop compilation albums.
But there were a few entries that really struck me this year. Here are my
favorite music soundtracks of 2017. (All release dates are 2017 unless noted).
