So a little blog idea poaching today on the Bsides...so scandalous I know.
I got this idea from the blog, 'Cut The Crap Movie Reviews' by Aiden R....
And I quote..."The idea behind this little ditty is that I’m stuck on a desert island with enough rations and hard liquor to last me a lifetime, but I’ve only got one CD with 12 choice tracks on it and a good ol’ Discman with infinite battery power to last me the rest of my days."
The rules as set out by Aiden...
- No instrumentals. Not my style. Sorry, Jonny Greenwood, Clint Mansell and Trent Reznor.
- Can only choose one song from a given movie.
- No repeat bands.
- The movie can’t suck.
So here are my picks....whether the movies I picked are good or not...that I suppose some are debatable...but I like them so there.
1. David Garza - Slave (Great Expectations)
2. The Cure - Burn (The Crow)
3. Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You (Empire Records)
4. The Velvet Underground - Oh! Sweet Nuthin' (High Fidelity)
5. Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - If You Leave (Pretty in Pink)
6. Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me) (The Breakfast Club)
7. Pearl Jam - State of Love and Trust (Singles)
8. Stereophonics - Don't Let Me Down (I Am Sam)
9. U2 - All I Want Is You (Reality Bites)
10. Iggy Pop - Lust for Life (Trainspotting)
11. The Soggy Bottom Boys - I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow (O Brother, Where Art Thou?)
12. Al Green (feat Booker T & The MGs) - A Change Is Gonna Come (ALI)
So what 12 songs from the world of movie soundtracks would you pick?
