I don't think I need any further proof. You people are out of your fucking minds.

A little more context would be nice.

Ned at dali's place (donut), Sunday, 18 December 2005 18:58 (twenty years ago)

Referring to the top half of this thread, before it turned into "name that soundtrack" - most of these records are not especially bad. This is just another 90's-hatorz thread. If you hate the 90s you hate music.

billstevejim (billstevejim), Sunday, 18 December 2005 19:32 (twenty years ago)

See, I was about to say the opposite. Reading the top half of this thread kind of redeemed my faith in ILM. I

There was no original Frampton on the Reality Bites soundtrack? That seems so wrong.

Sundar (sundar), Sunday, 18 December 2005 20:03 (twenty years ago)

Good for you and your faith.

Seems to me that most of the people who posted these albums looked at the bands involved and judged the records based on the few that they recognize, without having heard the actual songs.

Romeo + Juliet is not a bad album at all. It has "Talk Show Host" and "Lovefool," which are 2 of the best songs ever made.

billstevejim (billstevejim), Sunday, 18 December 2005 21:40 (twenty years ago)

If you want a not-so-great 90's comp, may I suggest the John Lennon tribute album "Working Class Hero." The 3 or 4 best songs are listenable, but mediocre efforts, and most of the rest is not quite as enjoyable.

And I absolutely hate that Zeppelin tribute record that included STP's cover of "Dancing Days" (worst thing they ever did by far) and 4 Non Blondes ugly version of "Hey Hey What Can I Do."

billstevejim (billstevejim), Sunday, 18 December 2005 21:51 (twenty years ago)

It also has One Inch Punch, Des'Ree, and the fucking Wannadies.

The Wannadies don't get enough hate around these parts, or in the wider world in general.

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 18 December 2005 21:53 (twenty years ago)

romeo and juliet has that gavin friday tune as well.

gear (gear), Sunday, 18 December 2005 22:02 (twenty years ago)

Today at work I listened to the soundtracks to The Crow, Suburbia, and Mad Love.

Tracks 3 through 12 on The Crow are all good songs. The Cure song is eh, and the Medicene song is annoying. The other 2 are shit. 10 out of 14 isn't bad. The Crow soundtrack is not worth the title of this thread.

There are 2 good songs on Mad Love. (#3 and #6 I think.)

The Suburbia soundtrack has some shockingly outstanding moments (an 8-minute version of "Sunday" by Sonic Youth?!!?), but much like most of the albums discussed here, it's unfortuantely uneven.

billstevejim (billstevejim), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 02:35 (twenty years ago)

If for no other reason, The Crow ST gets a pass simply for being the first American release to contain "Snakedriver" by JAMC - definitely a high point of their twilight years (and certainly a staple of their live sets from around that time).

I never owned it, though, so Question: Is the Crow version of Time Baby III the one that has backing vocals by Liz Fraser? If so, then bonus.

Steve Gertz (sgertz), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 02:50 (twenty years ago)

man the first half of this thread really DOES reaffirm my faith in ilm

u saved me (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 02:58 (twenty years ago)

i love that someone posted the 'van wilder' soundtrack. did you know the original cut of that movie was 143 minutes long?

maura (maura), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 03:07 (twenty years ago)

what happened to the missing minutes? this is worse than the magnificent ambersons

good thing comics don't have 'official' soundtracks

kephm (kephm), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 06:42 (twenty years ago)

I missed this thread. Good reference source.

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 07:03 (twenty years ago)

i made the "hudson hawk" soundtrack a staff rec at my store for a joke and somebody bought it. i still haven't looked at the track listing, i'm afraid bruce willis will be on it.

fortunate hazel (f. hazel), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 07:38 (twenty years ago)

Hahahaha Jess, I never properly lambasted you for being young and foolish on this thread!

Dan (Crow OST Is Awesome) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 12:56 (twenty years ago)

Anything with "No Rain" or "You Get What You Give" on it can't be all bad.

any movie with "no rain" in it (and i mean IN IT, not merely on the soundtrack or hidden away in the end credits) is classic and worthy of any award you can throw at it.

bob abernethy (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 13:35 (twenty years ago)


i still say THE BEACH is way way worse. made me actually sick. seriously just thinking about it upsets me.

piscesboy, Wednesday, 21 December 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

I hope that mid 90s rock never gets a hip revival. Actually, I kind of do.

flkflk, Wednesday, 21 December 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

Every generation's music has got to have its detractors. Imagine a not-so-distant future where 16-year-olds upchuck over the notion of a Franz Ferdinand or Sufjan Stevens while their parents protest, "Hey, kids, that's when music was REAL."

Terrible Cold (Terrible Cold), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 17:51 (twenty years ago)

Oh, like they're not doing that now.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 17:52 (twenty years ago)

"Beacon Light" is a GREAT Ween track.

I still have that SATURDAY MORNING comp. Don't exhume it very often, but Frente's "Open Up Your Heart And Let The Sun Shine In" is quite lovely.

David A. (Davant), Thursday, 22 December 2005 20:18 (twenty years ago)

I kind of covet the "Strange Days" soundtrack (despite the Skunk Anansie).

Dan (Yay "Hardly Wait") Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 22 December 2005 20:21 (twenty years ago)

9. Strange Days - Prong/Ray Manzarek

:-O :'-(

u saved me (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 22 December 2005 20:21 (twenty years ago)

Okay, in all honesty I look at that soundtrack and only see Lords Of Acid, Tricky, Juliette Lewis and Graeme Revell.

Dan (There Are Other Songs??? GET OUT!) Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 22 December 2005 20:25 (twenty years ago)

SHOOTING FISH!

1 Me and You Versus the World Space 3:37
2 Beautiful Alone Strangelove 3:13
3 The Day Before Yesterday's Man Supernaturals 3:23
4 Golden Skin Silver Sun 2:58
5 Twist Symposium 2:00
6 Neighbourhood Space 3:28
7 What the World Needs Now Is Love Jackie DeShannon 3:06
8 I'm a Better Man (For Having Loved You) David McAlmont 2:58
9 Body Medusa [Leftfield Mix] Supereal 4:23
10 Friends Wannadies 2:55
11 Bluetonic Bluetones 4:08
12 Do You Know the Way to San Jose? Dionne Warwick 2:53
13 In Charge Dubstar 2:32
14 To Be the One Passion Star 3:02
15 In Pursuit of Happiness Divine Comedy 3:31
16 Shooting Fish Stanislas Syrewicz 4:03

I mean, look at it! LOOK AT IT! Symposium, Silver Sun, Dubstar, Space...it's like they went out of their way to make sure it would be unbearably dated within about five years of the film's release.

Also, this has got me a-wondering - does anyone still listen to Space, and if so, would they ever admit to it? I've nothing particular against them as a band, it's just not something I could imagine a normal person ever wanting to revisit. They just seem so rooted in that particular period of time(96-98) that going back and listening to them now would just be too strange.

STRANGELOVE! Jesus Christ...

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 22 December 2005 22:31 (twenty years ago)

I almost downloaded "Female Of The Species" three years ago.

Dan (So, No) Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 22 December 2005 22:31 (twenty years ago)

Weird, I heard "Female Of The Species" for the first time a few days ago - actually the same day I listened to those 3 soundtracks.

"Beacon Light" is a GREAT Ween track.

Right on! And I like the X-Files version of "Walking After You" also.

If you hate the 90s you hate music.

this line has restored my faith in a nuclear holocaust

Banana Nutrament (ghostface), Thursday, 22 December 2005 23:54 (twenty years ago)

I'm curious to understand why a number of people don't like music made in the '90s--or the '90s, in particular. And I mean, a detailed, rational explanation that doesn't involve the word "suck." Not that I don't think one is possible; I'm just curious to hear that perspective. Did you feel it was all crammed down your gullet? Was it all superficial and pretentious? What happened?

Because personally, having come of age in the '80s, I would gladly take most anything recorded post-NEVERMIND over a large portion of the Top 40 twaddle popular through my senior year of high school (1990). I mean, Rick Astley vs. Soundgarden? Come on.

Terrible Cold (Terrible Cold), Friday, 23 December 2005 00:29 (twenty years ago)

Every generation's music has got to have its detractors. Imagine a not-so-distant future where 16-year-olds upchuck over the notion of a Franz Ferdinand or Sufjan Stevens while their parents protest, "Hey, kids, that's when music was REAL."

I'm sure if I were to visit friends w/teenage kids I wouldn't have to imagine anything!

Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Friday, 23 December 2005 00:36 (twenty years ago)

Rick Astley - had hooks, made music you could dance to, v. cheerful likeable personality, classic fifties-crooner style voice

Soundgarden - 2nd album is OK but all else unlistenable, lyrics make healthy people wish they'd never been born, I can't front on the guitar solos but the rest of the package is just ugh

Astley by KO

Banana Nutrament (ghostface), Friday, 23 December 2005 01:03 (twenty years ago)

Rick Astley for me too - not discounting the lovely 'Jesus Christ Pose'. Such lovely drumming.

ratty, Friday, 23 December 2005 01:06 (twenty years ago)

Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Friday, 23 December 2005 01:53 (twenty years ago)

If you hate the 90s you hate music.

So... basically you hate music then.
