  Repo Man is the soundtrack album to the eponymous 1984 film, Repo Man. The soundtrack features songs by punk rock acts such as the Plugz, Black Flag, the Circle Jerks, Suicidal Tendencies, Iggy Pop and others.

Iggy Pop volunteered to write the title song after his manager viewed a screening of the film.
  
  ## Background
  
  A website Creative Noise noted the soundtrack as a snapshot of the early-1980s Los Angeles hardcore punk scene of the time. Director Alex Cox wanted the music to serve as a backdrop to the story of the life of the repo men.

  Noel Murray of The Dissolve website in 2013 considered Black Flag's "TV Party", Suicidal Tendencies's "Institutionalized", Circle Jerks' "Coup d'État", and Fear's "Let's Have a War" the highlights of the soundtrack. Stephen Cook of AllMusic rated the soundtrack four and a half stars out of five.
