Baby Driver (Music from the Motion Picture)

The soundtrack is anything but incidental for this 2017 car-chase crime thriller, where the lead character is driven by music. Pedal hits the metal from the get-go with The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion’s funkified garage-rock blast, then shifts through bouncy Motown (Carla Thomas, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas), throbbing ’70s rock (Focus, Golden Earring), and cruisy tunes that hug the curves (The Commodores, Beck). The punchy punk of The Damned and the snappy folk-pop of Simon & Garfunkel coexist on an eclectic collection that never stops moving.
