6. The Wicker Man – Matching the eerie movie, the soundtrack to 1973 cult classic is rightly heralded as a classic. Composed by Paul Giovanni and Magnet, the folk songs have a primeval and sinister underbelly most notably ‘Sumer Is Icumen In’ sung in Middle English fervently by the islanders at the film’s climax. Yet it’s ‘Willow’s Song’ (mimed by Britt Ekeland) that perfectly captures the spirit of the film – a curious song that has been covered by a host of acts since.
