Sez VCTB in the intersting post Science fiction: division versus diversity: "...perhaps the issue isn't one of a decline in science fiction readership alone, but of a decline in people who really care about reading fiction as anything other than simple escapism."

Re: Top 10 SF/F Soundtracks

The Lord Of The Rings trilogy is number 1??? Better than the original Star Wars? WTH is that guy smoking? And the soundtrack for Raiders beats the LotR soundtrack's hairy, hobbity behind.

Hmmmm....might be by length of soundtrack. The LotR movies had more music per minute than Raiders or SW, I think.

You could do it by variant soundtracks, orchestras covering, inclusions in other media. In that case, SW would win, especially if you include the disco version!
