batman forever soundtrack poll

ahah this polls a goodo

NOT EVEN FUCKING CLOSE

"Kiss from a Rose" - Seal – 3:38

The Riddlaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I love this soundtrack. Nick Cave and Brandy and Seal and Method Man--so many hot singles, yet who is this soundtrack's target audience?!

The first girl I ever had a serious crush on had this soundtrack. :D

there's even 'serious crush' material on the soundtrack - sunny day real estate!

How many singles were on this?

Seal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ateQQc-AgEM
U2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31bd0bNI-jA
Method Man: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uVBa-qyLiw

I bet you could glean the entire plot of the movie just by watching those videos.

this is the first u2 song i ever heard and it gave me a seriously confused view of their oevure

I remember I was so fucking pissed when "There Is a Light" wasn't on the Nick Cave rarities box. WTF, Nick?

this has the only U2 song I ever liked. But Seal wins.

seal is going to run away with this, and he should, thats like the best song probably ever, but there is so much good shit on this CD

who is this soundtrack's target audience?!

middle schoolers, i think

That's when I got it, doesn't seem to have done me any harm other than being responsible for me buying Nocturama however many years later.

yeah i got it in middle school and like every song on it i think

probably didnt admit to liking the seal track tho

this has the only U2 song I ever liked

Same here. Well, this and New Year's Day. I think I'll vote for Seal though, cos they'll still be playin it on Magic FM in like 300 years.

"Smash It Up" - The Offspring (The Damned cover)– 3:26

Why?

Had no idea that track was by the Flaming Lips. Always thought it was great, and really well placed, in the film. I spose the explanation is simply that my likings for the film and the band didn't coincide.

even though i've gone off the lips somewhat, that is a very good song and i might vote for it yet...

I remember being astounded by that Seal tune, like I had no idea he was capable of something like that a capella section…or maybe that's Trevor Horn?

funny that that U2 tune could be the first that someone heard… it is very very good…

That Offspring cover was a single too! It was played enough on alt-rock stations back in the day to be one at least.

funny that that U2 tune could be the first that someone heard

i'll say. u2 were without doubt the most ubiquitous band from my youth.

Is it just me, or is that U2 song the last unquestionably great thing they did?

I like all the singles but love Massive Attack's Marvelettes cover.

Seal. Most most most most definitely.

i think i prefer the batman & robin soundtrack

i think youre wrong

this is one of my favorite albums, i finally hunted down the promo only double vinyl version. the CD is one of the best bargain bin values out there, i recommend it to everyone.

the seal joint is one of my all time favorite songs (one of the ones i have listened to 40+ times in a row to try to see if it ever got old, it didnt) but because it was on his album first i didnt pick it for this poll. i decided to go with the brandy track due to the ill lenny kravitz work and the fact that it was exclusive. i also love the massive attack, mazzy star, and method man joints too. really the whole thing is dope except the offspring joint.

Is it just me, or is that U2 song the last unquestionably great thing they did?

It probably is. Certainly nothing they've done since springs to mind. It's the last time Bono's ego and singing persona helped one of their songs rather than being a massive hindrance.

the flaming lips song was also a single.

It's awesome "Kiss From A Rose" is getting this much love -- it certainly didn't in 1995.

"It's awesome "Kiss From A Rose" is getting this much love -- it certainly didn't in 1995.

-- Alfred, Lord Sotosyn"

you mean the year it won grammys for song of the year and record of the year?

Uh, from fans, bub. I thought Seal was ok to pretty good then: the first album had some killer (no pun intended) tunes and production, the second was more of the same.

i love those first 2 Seal records. i wasn't into him until "Kiss From A Rose", but then i went back and i am down.

"Kiss From a Rose" is awesome because it has a great fucking melody. Point blank.

that song was EVERYWHERE when it came out

ill lenny kravitz work

uuhhhh

"uuhhhh

-- winston"

just listen to it, IIRC he played all the instruments and produced it. probably the best thing he's ever been involved with.

in 7th grade i used "kiss from a rose" on a mixtape i made some girl

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I remember I was so fucking pissed when "There Is a Light" wasn't on the Nick Cave rarities box. WTF, Nick?

cos it's a Bad Seeds rarities box, not a Nick solo rarities box.

some seriously out of character pipecockisms on this thread

good times

also i think we've found al's wedding playlist

haha this also reminded me of when my v. straight friend in jr. high kept talking about how hott val kilmer was until i dropped the bomb that 'val' wasn't the chick on the poster

hahahaha

seal is going to run away with this, and he should, thats like the best song probably ever

Even though they themselves hate the track, I'm going with the Massive Attack song.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
