Favorite soundtrack album

Posted: Sat Jan 13, 2007 3:08 am

It seems to me, some of the best music out there can be found on soundtrack albums....anyone agree?

List some of your recommendations...here's a couple of mine..

Dead Man Walking....mellow, acoustic, bluesy...

Kill Bill....fun, fun, fun....there's something on there for everybody! One of my faves!!

Anybody else? The Crow maybe?........?

my fav soundtrack albums have to be:
the rocky horror picture show
grease (this ones my ultimate fav)
bring it on
and coyote ugly

Sometimes it's funny that even though a movie sucks, the soundtrack album is good!

I'm not implying that all those movies sucked.....sorry if it sounded that way!

Only one of them did.

I loved the music from Amelie. They were playing it at work the other day and it made me really happy, and I was having a crappy day.

The soundtrack from "The Graduate" is good too. Love that Simon and Garfunkel stuff.

ive got a new one to add to my list, high school musical

Posted: Thu Jan 18, 2007 8:50 pm

Simon and Garfunkels' early stuff is great....I have it all!

I got a "Best Of" CD of S&G for Christmas a couple years back. I love listening to it, especially when I'm in a folk/emo/hippie mood. Which is a lot.

Posted: Thu Jan 18, 2007 11:06 pm

I love most kinds of music, but the past couple of years I've gotten back into my love of singer/songwriter acoustic stuff....Gort=emo (?)

If you like great acoustic mellow stuff, check out Joshua Radin...SOOO GOOD!!
I heard a piece of one of his songs in the background of 'Scrubs'
It was the song "Winter" and it's on his first album...check it out!!!

I like Danny Elfman soundtracks the best like Nightmare Before Christmas, Bettlejuice

Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 6:47 pm

Danny Elfman ROCKS

Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 7:09 pm

Used to, anyway.........OINGO BOINGO!!!!!

Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 7:10 pm

Meh, I like the soundtracks he wrote for all those Tim Burton movies.

Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 7:31 pm

Aren't they mostly instrumentals?
Kinda like Mark Mothersbough did after leaving DEVO......

Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 7:36 pm

Mostly, yeah. But "Nightmare Before Christmas" has some songs on it. Good stuff, that.

Posted: Wed Jan 31, 2007 8:51 pm

I agree, NBC has great songs! I also like the LOTR soundtrack (although that's more classical sort of music than songy sort of music!), but then I'm a LOTR obsessive!!!

Posted: Wed Jan 31, 2007 9:30 pm

Too bad about the 'Hobbit' news, eh??

Posted: Wed Jan 31, 2007 10:15 pm

Which Hobbit news? (It's 10:15 in the evening... you can't expect me to be awake!)

Posted: Wed Jan 31, 2007 10:26 pm

They're not making it!!!!!!
At least not with Peter Jackson.....!!!
Copyright issues might prevent the film from EVER being made, and even then it probably will be without Jackson........what idiots!!

Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2007 6:09 am

The soundtrack from the first Mortal Kombat movie was pretty good too, I remember one of my friends had it and we would dance to it like there was no tomorrow. That and Janet Jackson. Those were the days....

Posted: Tue Feb 06, 2007 10:26 pm

Oh, THAT Hobbit news! I'm very sad about that, it's an awesome book! (I may be just a tad biased since I'm a huge Tolkien fan, and I love dragons!

)

Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2007 8:22 am

Sorry for double posting, but on topic again... I like the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack!!!

Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2007 6:07 am

I second that, I have the soundtrack. The last song on the 2nd CD, the one that Minnie Driver sings, tears out my heart every time I hear it.

Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2007 1:27 pm

I tried to buy the new Evanescence cd yesterday, but both stores I went to didn't have it.....oh well.......

Back to soundtracks...
The Mother In Law was a terrible movie ( I heard that...didn't see it )....but I have the cd and it's great!!! Both you girls would like it!!!

Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2007 3:51 pm

I actually own the cd single for I-eeee-I-will always love you-woo-woo-woo......

I think it's really rare now.

Other than that, Whitney belongs in my slag thread.....what a waste of flesh!!

Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2007 4:16 am

My favorite album I guess is American apathy by Dope. I like all my music though.

Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2007 11:00 pm

I forgot to mention another great soundtrack cd...Clockwork Orange rules!!

Well the movie was just wrong

Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2007 5:06 am

Yet another movie I have yet to see...

I really like the soundtrack to "Lost in Translation"

Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2007 3:09 pm

While it was not favored by the books author, Anthony Burgess.....I loved it.....more than the book.

It can't be wrong if it feels so right!!! LOL

Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2007 3:51 pm

I paged through the book once, it looks very interesting. I may just buy it sometime.

Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2007 3:53 pm

See the movie.....or at least get the soundtrack cd.....sample it at Amazon....

It's mostly Beethoven.....electonically synthesized...Wendy Carlos stuff...

Posted: Sun Apr 01, 2007 11:48 pm

I though Curious George - Jack Johnson was pretty good

Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2007 1:31 am

Yeah...his first album is great!!

Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2007 1:52 pm

im too keen on his music to be honest, he just seems to drone on and on

Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2007 2:55 pm

That's why I said 1st album....that's the only one ya need....

All the songs are quite similar....kind of like AC/DC...if you have the song 'Back in Black'....you've heard all their songs....

Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:58 pm

I love AC/DC...but you're pretty much right.

Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2007 4:23 pm

I've never liked scream-rock.....sing, pal, sing!!!

Oh....that's right!!!

He can't!!

LOL

Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2007 4:27 pm

Well, then, apparently that's another difference between us.

I don't think we can be friends anymore.

I AM SO TOTALLY KIDDING

Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2007 4:50 pm

You're probably a 'Rush' fan too, eh???

Bleccccccchhh!

That always starts a fight.....but I hate 'em!!

Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2007 5:18 pm

I've actually never heard a Rush song, at least that I know of.

Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2007 5:29 pm

The famous one is 'Tom Sawyer'.........I think I'm the only guy that hates it!!

Plus....I make fun of Kiss fans, too!!!

HeeHee......

(even though when they were a new band, I saw them 3 times in two days....)

Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2007 4:35 pm

Agreed, but he's got a few songs like Gone Going that don't drag on

.

Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2007 4:57 pm

That's a good point....

I'm a Beatles fan, and have had people say..."all the songs sound the same"

But I LIKE that......because they all sound like Beatles songs!!!

(and they don't all sound alike....just recognisable as Beatles....)

Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2007 8:27 pm

Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2007 8:41 pm

I'm sad now.

Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2007 8:42 pm

Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2007 2:45 pm

Somebody's Baby - Jackson Browne
Raised on the Radio - The Ravyns
Uptown Boys - Louise Goffin
