    I think singles is so great as an OST if only becasue it was the reason I was exposed to Paul Westerberg and teh Replacements

    Singles
    I Am Sam
    Royal Tennenbaums

    are all up there for me, but yes 'Singles' is the best IMO.

    Singles by far. THose other ones posted are good, but singles is great.
    He is alive but feels absolutely nothing.
    So is he?
    When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him.
    By nine he had deciphered the illusion trading magic for fact.
    No tradebacks...
    So this is what it's like to be an adult
    If he only knew now what he knew then...

    Singles is my favorite soundtrack, but I wouldn't say it's far and away the best. Other good ones:

    The Crow
    Animal House (just for fun)
    Pulp Fiction
    Reservoir Dogs
    I Am Sam

    i bought singles entirely for chloe dancer/crown of thorns because i downloaded it and literally fell in love with it. then i realised i got a bloody good album as well for my cash. breath and state of love and trust are two of my favourite PJ songs and seasons and birth ritual are brilliant (birth ritual being particularly astonishing, chris's singing is mental)

    the soundtrack for 'the life aquatic' is good. vintage bowie, iggy & the stooges, etc. the seu george covers of bowie songs are great, too.

    Rushmore has a great soundtrack. (A great movie too - my favourite Bill Murray performance).
  • facepollutionfacepollution Posts: 6,834
    Yeah the Singles soundtrack is definitely my favourite, the quality throughout is amazing. Cornell's vocals on Birth Ritual are amazing, maybe his best, definitely one for the doubters to hear. Plus Seasons is an incredible song, showing a whole other side to Cornell, the lyrics are amazing, from time to time this is my favouite song of all time....

    Time for the left field entry, how about The Gladiator soundtrack, I don't listen to classical music at all but lisa gerrard has an amazing voice.

    my real choice would be singles too
