Various Artists — Pulp Fiction (Original Soundtrack)

The soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 cult classic is a needle-drop masterclass — surf rock, soul, country and pulp dialogue snippets weaving through a film that rewired American cinema. Dick Dale’s “Misirlou,” Chuck Berry’s “You Never Can Tell,” Urge Overkill’s “Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon” and Kool & The Gang’s “Jungle Boogie” all live here. A perfect example of how the right music can re-canonise old songs for a whole new generation.
