...i.e. albums with only a snippet of score, or maybe no score at all.

Still secretly love all the songs on Tuff Turf.

And, apart from the title track, I played the song side of The Terminator album much more than I ever played the score.

Still secretly love all the songs on Tuff Turf.
Some great songs written/produced by Jonathan Elias there. I need to buy that LP, as it's not on CD.
A shame that the score by Elias is still unreleased though.

Lots of favorites mentioned here but one that's not, and one that never got an official release as far as I know, is REAL GENIUS.
Also a huge fan of TEEN WOLF.
Knowing full well the nightmare that must be involved in untangling the rights issues, my fervent hope is that the success of FERRIS BUELLER makes a few deluxe score/songtrack releases and rereleases like these possible some day soon. Thomas Newman's back catalog would benefit greatly, not only with higher profile stuff like THE LOST BOYS but other, less polished gems like GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN.
Yes, the Newman stuff is very much welcomed! Real Genius is a great score.

'Electric Dreams'- every track a winner.
There are 2 or 3 songs in 'Flashdance' that I like, but I could never bring myself to buy the album.

One of my favorites is 1982's "Party Party" songtrack album:
https://www.discogs.com/Various-Party-Party-Original-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack/release/1580353
Did not see the film at the time, but this disc is packed with goodies from many of my favorite "new wave" artists of the day -- Elvis Costello, Bananarama, Madness, Bad Manners -- and most of the tracks were unique to this album. Many of the songs are covers of older tunes -- Altered Images covers Del Shannon's "Little Town Flirt," the Selecter's Pauline Black covers Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry." Bananarama's cover of the Sex Pistols' "No Feelings" is wonderfully silly, and the instrumental break in Modern Romance's "Band Of Gold" made me laugh out loud as it strains (but doesn't quite make it) to break into "Also Sprach Zarathustra."
The film has a ton of music in it in addition to the songs on the soundtrack, but I'm not sure it even has any "underscore" music -- it may all be "source music" new wave songs played at the party -- ?
