Best movie soundtrack from a rock group?

[Archae]

To me, the obvious choice:

Queen, "Flash Gordon."

:yourock:

[VelmaD]

1. Flash!

Ah-ah.

He'll save everyone of us. *snort*

[Ruffhowse]

2. Beatles-Yellow Submarine

[Archae]

3. That one is good too.

n/t

[Magrittes Pipe]

4. "Highlander" was better.

Then again... QUEEN???

Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine did some amazing work in "Lost in Translation." Without his music and Scarlett Johansson's ass, that movie woulda sucked.

[Tom Kitten]

5. Is Neil Young a rock group?

I liked the soundtrack to Dead Man...whenever I hear it I think back to the movie which I found excellent but somewhat disturbing...


(on edit: changed "liked" to "like")

[mitchum]

8. Another vote for Young's Dead Man score

[Screaming Lord Byron]

11. Works for me,

[Fenris]

18. Agreed.

[gollygee]

6. Hmm define "rock group" (m)

do Simon and Garfunkle count?

I suppose a concert movie wouldn't count - if it did I'd say Ziggy Stardust.

[Spinzonner]

7. Saturday Night Fever

Bee Gees

[jpgray]

9. A Hard Day's Night

It's also one of my favorite albums from the boys.

[VOX]

10. Simon and Garfunkel - "The Graduate"

Assuming, of course, that a duo is a group. :)

[acmavm]

12. No one will probably even know what I'm talking about but I loved

Mark Knopfler's music for a movie called Local Hero. I also love the movie.

[-..__...]

13. This is Spinal Tap.

What's not to love?



(edit: should have replied to original post... I hate it when I do this).

[Screaming Lord Byron]

14. Yeah, the Scottish movie about a small town threatened by big business.

Was it the oil industry? It's been a while.

[FrankBooth]

31. Great movie

but I don't remember the score/soundtrack at all. I do love the first Dire Straits album though, wore it out when I was in 8th grade.

[Semi_subversive]

15. Tommy byThe Who

Strange flick, fantastic music

[zeemike]

16. Pink Floyd...The Wall

But all of the above were great also

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

29. My favorite too.

[walldude]

33. While Queens "Flash"

was the first thing to pop into my head, it's The Wall hands down. Like all other Floyd albums it still resonates today. Since Dark Side Of The Moon not a generation has gone by that didn't have a huge Pink Floyd following. The Wall is now in production for a Broadway play.

[Tom Kitten]

17. Come to think of it... "Superfly"...

by Curtis Mayfield...perhaps thee classic rock soundtrack!

[BigMcLargehuge]

26. a second for Superfly

Mayfield was the man. LOVE the way the soundtrack was 180 degrees opposite of the Superfly character.

[LifeDuringWartime]

19. pink floyd - obscured by clouds

although "more" and "the wall" are also great soundtracks

[Tom Kitten]

23. Yes on More

The Nile Song, Cirrus Minor, Ibizar Bar are bonafide Pink Floyd classic songs...
And one must not overlook the soundtrack to "Zabriskie Point"...from Pink Floyd (I love "The Crumbling Wall", also for Heartbeat, Pigmeat" and "Come In Number 54 Your Time Is Up"!) to Patti Page...that soundtrack lp is also a classic!

[BlackVelvetElvis]

20. Hedwig and the Angry Inch

I believe the band was Cheater. Correct me if I'm off.
One of the best soundtracks ever.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

24. Are there separate albums for the stage and movie soundtracks?

[BlackVelvetElvis]

25. Oh yeah!

Amazon Link

I haven't heard that one!

[DemWitch]

21. Electric Light Orchestra/The Tubes/Olivia Newton John

Xanadu... Seriously!

Let the guffawing begin...

[Berserker]

30. Did the thread not say

Best movie soundtrack from a rock group?

"Electric Light Orchestra/The Tubes/Olivia Newton John"
:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[DemWitch]

34. Well...

ELO and The Tubes are rock. And Olivia DID do Grease which is rock n roll... so... OK, OK, OK I can't even rationalize this one... :)

[Kat45]

22. Not exactly a rock group, but Ry Cooder for "Crossroads"

(the blues movie, not the Britney movie)

[MrScorpio]

27. My two faves are "THE DOORS" & "THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME"

Then "HELL UP IN HARLEM" by Edwin Starr

[GAspnes]

28. Prince

Purple Rain.


Of course.

[KTM]

32. Maybe not a Rock Group, but damn sweet...

Mickey Hart's unused soundtrack for Apocalypse Now... way cool. And hey, what about Gabriel's music for Last Temptation !
