The Back to the Future soundtrack, released in 1985 by MCA Records alongside Robert Zemeckis’ classic Universal Pictures film starring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover, and Thomas F. Wilson, is an energetic mix of pop songs and Alan Silvestri’s rousing orchestral score. The film, produced by Steven Spielberg and written by Bob Gale, cemented its place in pop culture with both its story and its music.

Two of the most iconic tracks come from Huey Lewis and the News: the chart-topping “The Power of Love,” which earned an Academy Award nomination, and “Back in Time,” written specifically for Marty McFly’s time-traveling adventures. The soundtrack also includes Lindsey Buckingham’s “Time Bomb Town,” Eric Clapton’s “Heaven Is One Step Away,” and classic 1950s rock ’n’ roll numbers like The Penguins’ “Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)” and Marvin Berry and the Starlighters’ rendition of Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode,” which Marty famously shreds on stage at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.
