Giving the Sountracks genre a whirl again…
"Reflections of Earth" – Disney, Walt Disney World Millenium Celebration
"Creation of Tron" – Wendy Carlos, Tron
"The Prophecy" – Howard Shore, The Fellowship of the Ring
"The Unsung War" – Keiko Kobayashi, ACE COMBAT 5: The Unsung War
"Vespertillo" – Hans Zimmer, Batman Begins
"Love's Dream" – Rick Wakeman, Lisztomania
"Kaonashi (No Face)" – Joe Hisaishi, Spirited Away
"Kids Return" – Joe Hisaishi, Kids Return
"Dream" – Brad Mehldau, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
"National Treasure Suite" – Trevor Rabin, National Treasure
trivia: Many don't realize this, but since video games can earn as much as (or more than) a mainstream movie, many of their soundtracks are as outstanding as their movie counterparts.
"The Prophecy" – Howard Shore, The Fellowship of the Ring:
I need to pick up the LOTR Soundtracks. We played some of the songs in band back in the day and it was awesome.
I have an unhealthy love of the Offspring. I know they have passed their prime (probably a while ago) and almost all their stuff sounds almost the same, but dammit, theirs was the first CD I owned and the album that got me into the rock/alternative genre that still dominates my playlists. That's my explanation for my completist approach to the Offspring discography. Unsurprisingly given all that – I like 'Million Miles Away'.
Peephole – System of a Down – (self-titled)
You Make Me Feel Like a Whore – Everclear – Sparkle and Fade
Over and Out – Foo Fighters – In Your Honor
I’m Designer – Queens of the Stone Age – Era Vulgaris
South Bound Saurez – Led Zeppelin – In Through the Out Door
Till the Morning Comes – Neil Young – After the Gold Rush
Shame – System of a Down & Wu-Tang Clan – Loud Rocks
No. 13 Baby – Pixies – Doolittle
Good Times, Bad Times – Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin I
Far Pavilions – … And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead – The Century of Self
And I've got a couple Zeppelin tracks to tie in with yours.
Nice.
I still listen to Americana all the way through a couple of times a month. They're definitely past their prime, but am a sucker for whatever they produce.
