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?........?

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.

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. :P

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!!!

Danny Elfman ROCKS

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

gort

30-01-2007, 07:31 PM

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

30-01-2007, 07:36 PM

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

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!!!

gort

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

Pazuzu

31-01-2007, 10:15 PM

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

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....

Pazuzu

06-02-2007, 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!!
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! :))

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

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.

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!!!

12-03-2007, 04:13 AM

I like The Departed and School of Rock
For Non Vocal stuff though National Treasure has some very cool music

28-03-2007, 04:43 AM

28-03-2007, 06:06 AM

Yet another movie I have yet to see...

I really like the soundtrack to "Lost in Translation"

gort

28-03-2007, 04:09 PM

Well the movie was just wrong

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

28-03-2007, 04:51 PM

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

gort

28-03-2007, 04:53 PM

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

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

I though Curious George - Jack Johnson was pretty good :P
im too keen on his music to be honest, he just seems to drone on and on

gort

02-04-2007, 03:55 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....

1B-DI

02-04-2007, 04:58 PM

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

gort

02-04-2007, 05:23 PM

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

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

He can't!!

LOL

02-04-2007, 05:27 PM

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

I don't think we can be friends anymore.

I AM SO TOTALLY KIDDING :D

02-04-2007, 05:50 PM

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

Bleccccccchhh!

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

1B-DI

02-04-2007, 06:18 PM

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

gort

02-04-2007, 06:29 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....)
