Loved the music, yes, especially songs that work very well outside the film. Mostly Scott's own band, not that one in particular.
But when we're talking pure film scores I know
plenty of films that kick that flick's ass. Anything by Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman and John Williams for starters.
But even when we're talking out-of-film-music-scores, I know at least one example that's so much more awesome, though I must admit that the scene in question helps a great deal:
Now that's a phat beat. That's my 2010 fav for a reason. Yeah, even above Inception despite that being the better film. I don't care, Iron Man 2 was pure unfiltered entertainement. Kept me grinning non-stop for 90 minutes. Delicious.

In order of soundtracks it goes like this:
Forest Gump > Oh Brother Where Art Thou > The Good, The Bad and The Ugly > Scott Pilgrim > other

Oh Brother Where Art Thou goes without saying of course. Gods that movie is brilliant.
