This movie has a great soundtrack!
Back then albums were worth fighting over. You couldn't just get on the internet and download replacements. It took time and money to establish a really good collection.

Somewhat related, but I scored the St. Elmo's Fire soundtrack album for $1.00 at a local yard sale. It's framed on display in my 3 Season Porch now (with some other 80's Classics).

She took Thriller and Mahler.(Kevin is so fond of Mahler.)
-Di

I think, yeah! And Billy Joel's The Nylon Curtain?

what was the record she took along with thriller?

Yes, they were worth fighting over. That was one of the few scenes that rang true with me. And it doesn't matter that those titles could be replaced it's the actual copies that mattered the most, and still do for some of us.

"Thanks. Gary Newman?"
It's Gary Numan, not Newman; show some respect. And Telekon and The Pleasure Principle were works of art.

I have two from The Alarm, framed.

I would be dead if I took my husband's Gary Newman. There's a picture disc on the turntable right now.

"You're not getting my Wall! That cost me $40 bucks!"
"Fine! You don't get Never Mind the Bollokcs!"
"Ok, well, here's the Kiss solo stuff."
"Thanks. Gary Newman?"

"You can have all the Billy Joel! Except The Stranger." Cracks me up every time.

When I was growing up almost everyone I knew was really into music. We would have fought over albums. My buddy's brother was estranged for about ten years. One of his biggest gripes was that his brother took the liberty of keeping dozens of his compact discs.

haha
(although being annoyingly serious:
actually people already had CDs in 1985 and they were out and out big by just a couple years later. Records were really well on the way out in '85, at least among the set younger than those in this movie, the ones still in high school or early college. Tapes, Sony Walkman were huge. By '87 you'd be lucky to spot a record player in more than a handful of dorm rooms.)

No. Music from the '80s will always be the best. Apart from the electronic instrumental dance music of the mid '90s - Exit Planet Dust; Music For The Jilted Generation; In Sides.

Yeah, in a year they'll want to replace them with cassettes. In 10 years,with CDs. In 20 years, they'll be so over that era of music and will chuck them in the trash. In 30 years they'll add them to their Spotify nostalgia list.

It's obviously not really about the albums.
