That record is nothing w/o Dare To Be Stupid.

"Dare to Be Stupid" is in the movie, in the scene where the Autobots are dancing around with the crazy Eric Idle junk robots.

The original soundtrack is one of the most hilariously cheesy, misused soundtracks of the 80s, but it's fun on its own. The new soundtrack, on the other hand, is a giant vortex of suck. I actually like HIM, but for a freaking Transformers movie? And the Goo Goo Dolls? In 2007? Plus the theme done by a band that clearly has no business doing a Transformers theme... It boggles the mind.

the '86 OST wins, hands down

eight years pass...

The original '86 soundtrack wins it alone for the Unicron theme alone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfcmin_p7xs

Bonus points for El P sampling the Death of Optimus theme on Cannibal Ox's The Cold Vein:

four months pass...

The original's thirty years old this week. Saw it opening weekend.
