One of the best soundtracks of the ‘80s or any year.
It includes songs by The Psychedelic Furs, New Order, The Smiths, Echo & the Bunnymen, INXS, OMD, Suzanne Vega with Joe Jackson, Jesse Johnson, Belouis Some and more.
Full Soundtrack
Otis- “Try a little Tenderness” playing in the gif
In addition to their soundtrack song "Shellshock", New Order also contributed an instrumental version of "Thieves Like Us" and the instrumental "Elegia", both of which appear in the film but not on the soundtrack.

Incredible soundtrack. Left of Center is such an underrated song. I never understood why Nik Kershaw’s version of his song wasn’t on the soundtrack. It’s great.

When was this song played in the movie?

For 80s alternative music, probably, although the cover of the Nik Kershaw tune is pretty weak.

The best soundtrack of the 1980's top to bottom was this one.

Ok. Top to bottom, what 80's soundtacks is better? It's sure not pretty in pink, and I love 80's synthpop music...
My supposition is: I will concede that there are other soundtracks from the 80's that have better and more popular individual songs. But as a whole body of work, RepoMan stays true to it's roots and is the most consistent staying within it's genera. Just because other songs were more popular, don't mean they were "better".

Not in 1,000,000 years. It's not even the best bratpack soundtrack. That honor belongs to the Breakfast club.
To me, Don't Your Forget About Me off breakfast club is the quintessential 80s song and >>>> Don't Leave Now.

Do Wot You Want by INXS could have been such a good song but it was unfinished. They never wrote a 2nd verse for it.
