Give it too me. What is your favorite soundtrack that is mainly composed of songs from various artists?

Good Will Hunting
or
Rushmore

Vanilla Sky

Oh. And my all time fave:

The Big Chill.

Both soundtracks.

Since you like the Rushmore soundtrack....try where they got it all...
The box set Nuggets-Artifacts from a forgotten era, psychedelic garage sounds from the 60's.
It comes in two volumes, each with 4 discs, one from the U.S. & one from Britain.

Footloose

(sentimental fave, first tape I ever bought... but the 15th anniversary cd has added songs)

Best. Soundtrack. Ever.

Actually, I was going to use that as an example of what I consider to be a great soundtrack. Agreed

Repo Man
01–Repo Man - Iggy Pop
02–TV Party - Black Flag
03–Institutionalized - Suicidal Tendencies
04–Coup d'Etat - Circle Jerks
05–El Clavo y la Cruz - Plugz
06–Pablo Picasso - Burning Sensations
07–Let's Have a War - Fear
08–When the Sh*t Hits the Fan - Circle Jerks
09–Hombre Secreto (Secret Agent Man) - Plugz
10–Bad Man - Juicy Bananas
11–Reel Ten - Plugz

Check out the soundtracks for The Matrix, Spawn, and Godzilla (the one w/Matthew Broderick).

I hate almost all soundtracks.


But the best various artist album is:
The Small Faces Tribute album - UK import

Singles

Not a filler song amongst the lot.

Trainspotting
Feeling Minnesota

"Shooting Fish"

I'd go with Vanilla Sky

Spawn, Judgement Night, Blade, Blade 2, The Saint, Austin Powers, City of Angels, Romeo + Juliet, The Crow, just to name a few..

ap2 the sixties version
batman forever (u2's last great song imo)

Repo Man is great

Dead Man Walking, reald depressing, very moving...

O Brother, Where Art Thou: although everyone has jumped on the old-timey bandwagon, the music is very good...

I agree.

And the Smashing Pumpkins song is my vote for best song ending an album.

I also like the Forrest Gump soundtrack.

Singles
The Crow (soundtrack album and the score both, actually)
Pulp Fiction
Repo Man

The Crow

- Jesus And Mary Chain
- My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult (their best song ever!)
- The Cure
- Nine Inch Nails
- Helmet
- Medicine

and that's just getting started

Second Puplp Fiction, Vanilla Sky and Trainspotting. Also wanna mention Snatch...

LurkerDan -

Thanks for reminding me. I forgot all about the O, Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack and I listened to that a lot and still do.

Great soundtrack.
