Stehako's rating:

Hugo - Original Soundtrack - Howard Shore

Howard Shore creates a beautiful score. This opening scene shows his mastery at work as the music moves with the movements and the clock sounds compliment the strings.

Shutter Island (Music From The Motion Picture)

Stehako's rating:

The Bootleg Series, Vol. 7: No Direction Home - The Soundtrack

9.5

The Bootleg Series, Vol. 7: No Direction Home - The Soundtrack... - Bob Dylan

Scorsese can take a figure like Bob Dylan and make him even more interesting.

Stehako's rating:

The Aviator - Various Artists

Unlike most Scorsese films, this one was more score-heavy. He exercised the talents of Howard Shore and still created memorable music in an unconventional way.
But there were also grain performances from all three Wainwrights!

U2 represents the Irish here in the ending of the film:

Voters of this music list - View all

Scorsese's films are dynamic and top-notch in every aspect of the film making process. His music choices and direction is one of my favorite aspects.
I hope this list give you a good idea as to what I'm talking about

Below is an ok montage of many of his films overlayed with music from these films.

*I'd like to give a special thanks to Robbie Robertson for his work with contributing/consulting in Marty's films like Shutter Island, Gangs of New York, The Departed, and Raging Bull.
