the crow ost is the worst record i have ever heard

Black Panther was a legit huge soundtrack album.

I'm still not sure I've ever even seen Judgement Night but that soundtrack was formative

IMO money should have been taken away from Metallica for "I Disappear"

also jail time

xpost very creative concept too. wish more soundtracks did the whole genre pairing exercise.

i heard from other parents that Sing/Sing 2 were hot soundtracks and watched the movies, which actually would have been good except for the music choices. just basic unimaginative picks.

in Sing 2, Bono voicing an ex-rock star lion in seclusion whose big hit was I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For is just almost too surreal to be bad.

i was going to mention the City of Industry soundtrack, which is pretty solid albeit not alt-rock.

Massive Attack – Three
Lush – Last Night (Darkest Hour Mix)
Tricky – Overcome
Bomb The Bass – Bug Powder Dust (UK Album Version)
Death In Vegas – Rocco (Sing For A Drink Mix)
Palm Skin Productions – Walking Through Water
Lionrock – Call A Cab
Butter 08 – Degobrah (Jupiter Mix)
Photek – The Hidden Camera (Static Mix)
Red – Mr. Jones

They're hot soundtracks for kids... my daughter would refuse to hear the original versions of the songs, she only wanted the Sing versions (I think she's over that now!)

The first Sing made my son really get into Elton John's original "I'm Still Standing".

it all just gave me Shrek vibes for some reason, i don't blame the kids for being into all that tho

judgement night is peak “objectively average/bad movie + insanely great soundtrack”

i would specifically spend time digging through the soundtrack section at the record store looking for movies i’d never heard of & checking the track listing because of this

like in high school i often tried to see the movies then buy the soundtrack but after seeing judgement night in a theater on a trip to usa i quickly realized the pitfalls of this as a blanket strategy

Wenders tried to work some of the Until the End of the World magic w/Faraway So Close

I've got nothing good to say about the Judgment Night soundtrack EXCEPT the Teenage Fanclub & De La Soul track is still one of the great rock/hip hop collaborations. Maybe the greatest. Still sounds fantastic today.

Hackers another fine example of the genre... the soundtrack got a 2-CD deluxe edition soundtrack in 2020! Which added this classic idealization of what hacking is like:

was just flipping through thread and yeah: Black Panther is exactly this right now.

We used to play The Saint soundtrack in the CD store where I was working in '97---played it loud, but I was usually busy, so kind of background to that---still, seemed pretty good at the time:

American releas
1. "The Saint Theme" Orbital 4:32
2. "6 Underground (Nellee Hooper Edit)" Sneaker Pimps 3:53
3. "Oil 1" Moby 5:31
4. "Atom Bomb" Fluke 3:54
5. "Roses Fade (Mojo Mix)" Luscious Jackson 2:31
6. "Setting Sun (Instrumental)" The Chemical Brothers 7:00
7. "Pearl's Girl" Underworld 9:32
8. "Out of My Mind" Duran Duran 4:16

10. "Little Wonder (Danny Saber Dance Mix)" David Bowie 5:30

"6 Underground (Nellee Hooper Edit)" Sneaker Pimps = most 1997 track ID conceivable

lol otm

also i fkn love this song

Man, how did Duncan Sheik squeeze in on that one?

A dumb joke instantly comes to mind, but I won’t make it.

The soundtrack to That Summer from 1979 was an amazing comp for the time. I still haven't seen the movie.

https://www.discogs.com/release/780184-Various-That-Summer
Ian Dury And The Blockheads– Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll
Mink DeVille– Spanish Stroll
Elvis Costello– (I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea
The Boomtown Rats– She's So Modern
Zones (2)– New Life
The Only Ones– Another Girl, Another Planet
Wreckless Eric– Whole Wide World
Patti Smith Group– Because The Night
The Boomtown Rats– Kicks
Ramones– Rockaway Beach
The Undertones– Teenage Kicks
Eddie And The Hot Rods– Do Anything You Wanna Do
Ian Dury And The Blockheads– What A Waste
Nick Lowe– I Love The Sound Of Breaking Glass
Elvis Costello– Watching The Detectives
Richard Hell & The Voidoids– Blank Generation

I don't know all of those, but maaan, so many aces---I wonder what a kid coming across this now would think? I never could get into Peter Perrett's voice (had no prob w Verlaine), but all I had was cobbled-for-the-US Special View, and I'm told he was better elsewhere. Soundtrack momentum might knock away my cavils.

Huh and the film was Ray Winstone's debut!

I knew at least a couple of people in the 90s who had a CD collection that was at least 50% 90s movie soundtracks. Major label mixtapes.

Man, how did Duncan Sheik squeeze in on that one?

Feel like a lot of these soundtracks have one or two totally baffling picks. Like the Hackers soundtrack: Leftfield, Prodigy, Underworld, uh... Squeeze? I do remember it in the movie so I guess it earned its place?

Dead Man Walking was almost two separate things in media, though overlapping in atmosphere, points of view, and some music:

The album is a collection of music thematically linked to the 1995 film Dead Man Walking. Although all the songs were inspired by the storyline, only four of them were featured in their entirety in the movie.[1] A separate album of the film's instrumental score, composed by David Robbins, was released by Columbia Records in April 1996.[2]

The film's executive producers, brothers Tim and David Robbins, personally solicited a number of their favorite musicians for contributions to the project. "We contacted artists we particularly admired," said David.[2] The contributors were provided with scripts, rough cuts, and other materials to help inspire their work.[2] Many of the resulting pieces have lyrical content based on particular characters – Suzanne Vega wrote her song from the perspective of the nun, Sister Helen Prejean; Steve Earle took the point of view of a prison guard; and Bruce Springsteen, in the film's title track, spoke as the convict himself.[2]

1 "Dead Man Walkin'" Bruce Springsteen 2:43
2 "In Your Mind" Johnny Cash 4:14
3 "Woman on the Tier (I'll See You Through)" Suzanne Vega 2:25
4 "Promises" Lyle Lovett 3:03
5 "The Face of Love" Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan with Eddie Vedder 5:39
6 "The Fall of Troy" Tom Waits 2:59
7 "Quality of Mercy" Michelle Shocked 3:38
8 "Dead Man Walking (A Dream Like This)" Mary Chapin Carpenter 3:34
9 "Walk Away" Tom Waits 2:43
10 "Ellis Unit One" Steve Earle 4:39
11 "Walkin Blind" Patti Smith 4:39
12 "The Long Road" Eddie Vedder with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan 5:31

Yep. At least half those tracks rank among the act's best work (Springsteen, Cash, Lovett, Vega, Eddie VedderO0.

i feel like there's a good poll to be done on the biggest/best OST pop track but I'm not sure anyone's beating Coolio

I guess they can't
I guess they won't
I guess they front
that's why that poll is outta luck, foo

write in for Deepest Bluest (My Hat Is Like A Shark's Fin)

when i worked at a record store the other employees would play THE BEACH soundtrack NONSTOP

Springsteen was consistent in delivering his best songs from the 90’s on film soundtracks (e.g. “Missing” which appears at the beginning of Sean Penn’s The Crossing Guard (1995) and “Lift Me Up” from the end credits of John Sayles’ incredible Limbo (1999))

The Hunger Games soundtracks kept this going in the 2010s

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 2013

1. "Atlas"
Coldplay 3:56
2. "Silhouettes"
Of Monsters and Men 4:31
3. "Elastic Heart"

5. "We Remain"

6. "Devil May Cry"

7. "Who We Are"

8. "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"

10. "Mirror"

11. "Capitol Letter"

12. "Shooting Arrows at the Sky"

I know Cale and Buckley had already released their covers years earlier, but didn't the "Shrek" soundtrack really jumpstart the "Hallelujah" revival?"

Yeah, and that led to Buckley’s version being used in a lot of 9/11 memorial montages a few months later

We're going to have to deal with the Small Soldiers soundtrack (1998) at some point.

1. "War" (Bone Thugs-n-Harmony with Henry Rollins, Tom Morello and Flea)
2. "Another One Bites The Dust (Small Soldiers Remix)" (Queen featuring. Wyclef Jean, Pras, Free & Canibus)
3. "The Stroke" (Billy Squier & Dallas Austin)
4. "Love Is a Battlefield" (Pat Benatar, Queen Latifah & DJ Kay Gee)
5. "Rock and Roll (Part 2)" (Gary Glitter & Dutch)
6. "Love Removal Machine" (The Cult & Mickey Petralia)
7. "My City Was Gone" (The Pretenders, Kool Keith & Butcher Brothers)
8. "Surrender" (Cheap Trick & Rich Costey)
9. "Tom Sawyer" (Rush & DJ Z-Trip)
10. "War" (Edwin Starr)

(which I mentioned upthread 18 years ago - sheesh)

ha I think this thread has my one of my first ever posts on ILX. I don't remember posting under that name but it's definitely me. I was also completely OTM.

The NIN Dead Souls cover is great fuiud.

The Henry Rollins Suicide cover is dogshit

The Pantera cover of Poison Idea is a bit rubbish but listen to the original it fucking rules

More xpost Springsteen songs for or on soundtracks In his acceptance speech, he said the Oscar should have been shared with Neil Young:

1. "Streets of Philadelphia" Bruce Springsteen 3:56
2. "Lovetown" Peter Gabriel 5:29
3. "It's in Your Eyes" Pauletta Washington 3:46
4. "Ibo Lele (Dreams Come True)" RAM 4:15
5. "Please Send Me Someone to Love" Sade 3:44
6. "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" Spin Doctors 2:41
7. "I Don't Wanna Talk About It" Indigo Girls 3:41
8. "La mamma morta" (From the Opera Andrea Chénier) Maria Callas 4:53
9. "Philadelphia" Neil Young 4:06
10. "Precedent" Howard Shore 4:03
...The director deliberately asked Bruce Springsteen to make the feature song for this film. However, Springsteen's first contribution, "Tunnel of Love," was rejected by Demme.[29]

It is notable for being one of the first mainstream Hollywood films to explicitly address HIV/AIDS and homophobia, in addition to being one of the first mainstream Hollywood films to portray gay people in a positive light.

That's from 1993 (Spin Doctors '93 as Hell)

An interesting fact about PHILADELPHIA is that, per Jonathan Demme, when he screened the film at the White House, Bill Clinton had to “excuse himself to go to the bathroom” during every intimate scene

As a Saint Etienne completist I’ve got the soundtrack to 1998 film Mojo somewhere. Never seen it but soundtrack features some pretty good covers of early 60s tracks along with some period pieces.

Donald Byrd– Christo Redentor 5:42
Little Lewis*– Crazy Crazy Momma 2:39
J.J. Jackson* & The Jackaels*– Ooh Ma Liddi 2:35

David McAlmont– I Put A Spell On You 3:44
Little Lewis*– Don't Make Me Wait 2:36
Beth Orton– I Love How You Love Me 2:37
Marc Almond– One Night Of Sin 2:42
Nick Cave– Mojo 3:34

An interesting fact about PHILADELPHIA is that, per Jonathan Demme, when he screened the film at the White House, Bill Clinton had to “excuse himself to go to the bathroom” during every intimate scene

― beamish13,

So he only left once.

I think Demme meant every scene where Hanks/Banderas showed affection towards each other, of which there are several instances

The guy did sign the Defense of Marriage Act and pretended like it didn’t exist in his autobiography.

The Trainspotting soundtracks are two soundtrack albums released following the film adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel of the same name.

The first album was released in February 1996 in the UK and 9 July 1996 in the US. The comparatively huge fanbase for both the film and the original soundtrack prompted a release of a second soundtrack on 21 October 1997. This second album included songs from the film that didn't make the cut for the first album, as well as songs that didn't appear in the final film, but were involved at earlier stages or were used as inspiration by the filmmakers, and one duplicate song.

I wasn't on ilx 18 years ago, but I was probably one of the DJs that j0n williams listened to play the songs on the soundtrack he mentions 18 years ago... on modern rock radio when he was in 8th grade ... we had computerized playlists, I had no choice ... sorry

I never picked up that second Trainspotting soundtrack CD, but always liked that they included "Golden Years", which was spotlighted in the book.

Me, Myself & Irene

A1 Foo Fighters– Breakout
A2 Smash Mouth– Do It Again
A3 Third Eye Blind– Deep Inside Of You
A4 The Offspring– Totalimmortal
A5 Ellis Paul– The World Ain't Slowin' Down
A6 Wilco– Any Major Dude Will Tell You
A7 Ivy– Only A Fool Would Say That
A8 Hootie & The Blowfish– Can't Find The Time To Tell You
B1 Brian Setzer Orchestra– Bodhisattva
B2 The Push Stars– Bad Sneakers
B3 Marvelous 3– Reelin' In The Years
B4 Pete Yorn– Strange Condition
B5 Ben Folds Five– Barrytown
B6 Billy "Pink" Goodrum– Razor Boy
B7 Tom Wolfe (2)– Where He Can Hide

A little disappointed they couldn't get Dan covers out of the Foos, 3EB, Offspring, and Hootie.
