Cat Stevens is a musical genius, not sure about his Muslim alter ego.

Pink Floyd - Zabriskie Point

Its final scene, celebrating the destruction of consumerism, has ironically been copied in a recent commercial!

A word here for musician/actor John Tams who as well as acting in Sharpe co-wrote all the music ( with Dominic Muldowney ) and sang in many of the episodes. He also composed the music for Raggedy Rawney ( Bob Hoskins directorial debut ) in which he also acted and in a double whammy co-wrote the music for Stuart Burge's TV version of The Rainbow and acted in Ken Russell's cinema version.

Joe Strummer did some film music for a couple, most remembered for the film Walker.

Dick Nolan of It Bites did the music for the series House.

oh and didn't John Lydon do the music for that film (can't be arsed to google it) he was in in the early 80's?

Surpised that nobody mentioned, Alan Price's score for "O Lucky Man."

Also the cult folk trio The Roches contributed to the soundtrack of the movie"Crossing Delancey." not actually sure if all their songs on the soundtrack were composed specifially for the movie, I know that one song,"Anti Sex Backlash of the 80's." appeared on one of their albums. The movie also featured their cover of the 50's classic."Come Softly To Me.

Suzzy Roche had a small role in the movie. Suzzy was once linked to Louden Wainwright and they had a child called Lucy who is also a singer.
