Amazon.co.uk Review
Top Gun (1986) must be counted one of the most influential movies of the 1980s. It propelled Tom Cruise to superstar status, and jetted director Tony (True Romance, 1994; Enemy of the State, 1998) Scott's career into the stratosphere. It also allowed producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer to perfect their multiplex-friendly blockbuster formula of join-the-dots plot, MTV-inspired visuals and rapid-fire action. Not least, it all but invented the modern pop soundtrack. Certainly it was the success of Simon and Garfunkel's The Graduate (1967) which inspired many song soundtracks in the pre-Star Wars (1977) decade, but since Top Gun, soundtrack pop has been gunning for the top like never before. Two singles dominate the album, Berlin's massive hit, "Take My Breath Away", and Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone", both co-written by Giorgio Moroder, who also scored Midnight Express (1978) and penned Blondie's "Call Me" from American Gigolo (1980). Most of the remainder is up-beat, energetic American AOR stadium pop-rock by bands like Cheap Trick and Loverboy, huge names at the time of the film's release. Rounding out the collection is the electro-instrumental "Top Gun Anthem" by Harold Faltermeyer, the man behind "The Heat Is On" from Simpson and Bruckheimer's previous box-office bonanza, Beverly Hills Cop (1984). All in all, a landmark soundtrack. --Gary S. Dalkin

Fantastic! December 18, 2003
12 out of 14 found this review helpful
Although undeniably eighties and more than a little cheesey at times, this soundtrack is fantastic. Not only does it transport you instantly back to that feel good feeling you got when watching the film for the first, second and third time, but it makes great driving music in the way it sub-conciously makes you believe that somehow your car has transformed into an F-14 fighter and that you can make the speed of sound. Admittedly my car can't make this kind of speed so instead I unavoidbly end up singing along to all of the tracks.If you loved the film, you'll love every moment of this soundtrack. A must have for any true Top Gun lover's CD collection.
An 80's classic November 20, 2001

There is an excellent mixture of some "lost" hits.
Miami Sound Machine, Kenny Loggins, Berlin's "Take my Breath Away."
I can't imagine growing tired of this album. It's made for excellent driving music... gets me through rush hour but also through long, dark exhausting, lonely nights on the highway. (I travel a lot.)
Highly recommend it to any 80's music fans regardless.

This album has to be the best i have ever listened to! With Dangerzone and Mightywings kicking off and the gloriously clever TG Anthem bringing things to a dramatic climax this album maintains a clever mix of Rock and Pop throughout; Love It!

What can you say other that THIS ALBUM IS GENIUS. With Kenny 'The Kenmeister' Loggins' rocking Danger Zone kicking off procedings in fine style, the 'soundtrack of the century' never looks back. Loggins, behind such hits as Footloose and no others returns with gay anthem 'Playing With The Boys' only a track later to take the album to heights only ever experienced before in Jon Bon Jovi's Destination Anywhere album. German rockers Berlin chip in with the soulful casio keyboard sensation Take My Breath Away- before the album is rounded off in the best possible way by The Top Gun Anthem- an emotional piece over seen by the genius of Harold 'Falto, The Faltman' Faltermeyer and the god-like Steve 'Stevo, The Stevster' Stevens. When the album finishes and the tears are wiped from the eyes, you will open up the CD player to remove one of the finest albums in living memory. Sensational.
Flying high! January 9, 2004

This album is a real true feel good album and for fans of the film is a must. There isnt a bad track on it and even the instrumental 'Top Gun Anthem' just cannot be bypassed.
