The RRROWOWOWRRRRRR sound Godzilla makes is synonymous with giant monster coolness. But so is the BOOMP BOOMP BOOMP music that goes along with the Big G's building-smashing strolls through Tokyo and environs. And let's not forget all the other awesome soundtracks and noises you can hear in monster movies featuring spinning, flying turtle Gamara and firey-fingered Giant Robot. If you're a monster movie fan – and who isn't? – then you'll become an instant devotee of Lawrence Tuczynski's site about giant monster movie music.

Tuczynski constantly updates his site, but he appears not to have redesigned it since 1998, which is part of its charm. This is the most exhaustive list of monster movie music I've ever seen, with pointers on where to find the best stuff and Tuczynski's own reviews and liner notes. How can you not want the Dinosaur Sentai Juranger single, which Tuczynski claims is "adventure sounding"?
