Is the Heavy Metal (1981) movie soundtrack the best ever?

I think it is. If not best ever, it's easily the most nostalgic and magical. Am I wrong?
Here is a list of songs from the Heavy Metal soundtrack:
1. "Heavy Metal" - Sammy Hagar
2. "Heartbeat" - Riggs
3. "Working in the Coal Mine" - Devo
4. "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" - Blue Öyster Cult
5. "Reach Out" - Cheap Trick
6. "Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride)" - Don Felder
7. "True Companion" - Donald Fagen
8. "Crazy (A Suitable Case for Treatment)" - Nazareth
9. "Radar Rider" - Riggs
10. "Open Arms" - Journey
11. "Queen Bee" - Grand Funk Railroad
12. "I Must Be Dreamin" - Cheap Trick
13. "The Mob Rules" (alternate version) - Black Sabbath
14. "All of You" - Don Felder
15. "Prefabricated" - Trust
16. "Blue Lamp" - Stevie Nicks

I've always loved both the movie and the music with the one exception of "Open Arms" which is puke-worthy power ballad hell.

but perfectly fits the time period. You can't pick apart the soundtrack because of that one song.

After Space Jam, it's Dazed and Confused. Aside from how great the songs are in their own right, it's hard to really capture the feeling of the era/plot of the movie without that soundtrack. Almost Famous would be right after that.

Pretty much everything you listed there are albums by one single artist that more or less had movies constructed around them after the fact as opposed to what most soundtracks are which is music that happened to be used in a particular movie by various artists.
All of those are very good but I would think of them as albums first and soundtracks as a subsequence.

The Beatles movies were released before the albums. So the songs were created for the movies and released as albums afterward. Also, both albums included songs that were not part of the soundtracks. Tommy and The Wall were film adaptations of concept albums.

Simply put... Yes.

No. It was criticized at the time for being rather lackluster on the choice of songs. Only a couple of real good ones on it.

The correct answer is A Harder They Come... Purple Rain shouldn't count

Why yes, yes it is.
