the rock of ages soundtrack is making me want to swear off music forever

Has anybody else noted that the song that Rock of Ages is named after is not in fact present on the soundtrack?

they tried to get Tom Cruise to say "gunter glieben glauchen globen" and he went into a fetal position having Valkyrie flashbacks

Seriously, I only just found out about this abomination, and I'm so angry that I want everyone involved to be buried up to the neck in sand and then covered in marmalade and ants.

i get being dismissive or lol check out this bullshit about the Rock of Ages movie but i don't really understand actual anger, unless you're especially reverent of the stage musical, or the original '80s rock songs, or think the actors would otherwise being engaged in something more dignified. as it is, i'm like whatever guys, go ahead and make a trainwreck, it's not like you were going to make anything of substance otherwise!

i mean sure Baldwin has better things to do but it's not like he took a break from 30 Rock to make this movie or anything

It's not like I think Brand/Cruise/Baldwin/et al could be doing something better with their time - probably anything they'd be involved in would be an undignified mess. And I don't care about the stage musical or the original 80's songs. It's just that I'm insulted that somebody thought that this would be entertainment. I literally just found out, so maybe the anger will wear off. Or maybe not, because of the trio of bellends involved.

"natural one" is so so dope. the guitar hook alone is one of the best things that happened in the 90s.

that Nada Surf song was hella gimmicky but fairly inoffensive but it reminds me of one of the worst summers of my HS life so fuck it

It’s the kind of song some emotional 90’s teenager used as lubricant to gaze into the eyes of his 16 year old girlfriend who works in the food court and isn’t trying to fuck him.

The Crow OST at #4!
What makes it great: A melancholy and tortured companion on your worst days, and a deeply dark motivator on the best days.Really the soundtrack to: Your goth phase.Most memorable song: "Big Empty," Stone Temple Pilots. Look, maybe it's true that all STP songs sound the same, but that sound is pretty great.Sleeper favorite: "Snakedriver," The Jesus and Mary Chain. A wonderfully dark and dense take on a classic pop theme: the kiss that changes everything.Low point: "Slip Slid Melting," For Love Not Lisa. On an album full of songs that your coolest friend still knows by heart, this song commits the sin of being utterly forgettable.

Honestly kind of impressed by the endurance it must have taken to listen to 99 soundtracks in their entirety.

but also
Most memorable song: “Wild Wild West,” Will Smith. OMFG tiny Jaden at the beginning of this track is all of us.
