DEFINITIVE Top Five All Time Movie Soundtracks

People of the Face: Here are the DEFINITIVE Top Five All Time Best Movie Soundtracks: COMPILATIONS Only*

1. Until the End of the World: REM, Talking Heads, Lou Reed, Elvis Costello, KD Lang, Neneh Cherry, Nick Cave's I'll Love You Till the End of the World is a top 10 great story song.

2. The Harder They Come - If you made a movie about a renegade reggae singer then this is the soundtrack you would have to have. Cheating a little because it's mostly Jimmy Cliff.

3. Trainspotting - Seamless integration of music and film from the opening Iggy Pop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCxgqHqakXc to Temptation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyJbUN9MU7Q to Mile End to Perfect Day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6uBkJSbQO0&t=41s

4. Repo Man This movie and the Decline of Western Civilization Part I taught me everything I know about 80's L.A. Punk. Great movie, great songs

5. Royal Tenenbaums - The best of the twee Wes Anderson soundtracks: Kinks, Eliot Smith, Nico's These Days, John Lennon, Me and Julio, Clash, Lou again.

Honourable Mention: Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, Rushmore, 24 Hour Party People, O Brother Where Art Thou, Inside Llewyn Davis, Pretty in Pink, Zero Effect, Natural Born Killers without the stupid movie dialog, Pump up the Volume

*Rules: 
1. No single artist movies: Leaves out all time greats - Superfly, Purple Rain, Hard Days Night, Shaft
2. No performance movies: No Stop Making Sense, The Last Waltz, Woodstock
3. No music docs: No DOA, Muscle Shoals, Buena Vista Social Club

Others:
Do The Right Thing - Out because it hinges too much on one great song
Baby Driver - not eligible because it feels like he picked the songs first then built great sequences around them to hold together a mediocre film
Guardians of the Galaxy- doesn't count because they just made a cheesy, catchy 80's mixtape
Big Chill - Boomer nostalgia mixtape

Most Criminally Boring Bands of the Mid-90s

People of the Internet: Here is the DEFINITIVE list of the most criminally boring bands of the mid-90's:

 5. Sarah McLachlan...I can't even remember one of her songs, but I can remember they played her on the radio all the time. Also, sad dogs.

4. Stone Temple Pilots...Apparently, if you try too hard to sound like Pearl Jam you die of a heroin overdose (too soon?) 

3. Dave Matthews Band...Ants...marching? To what, an ant parade?

2. Hootie and the Blowfish...If you rip off Bob Dylan and then name drop him in the same song, this does not make things right, Hootie.

1. Gin Blossoms...Why does this band exist? Why?!! Why not any other decent band from the 90's? Velocity Girl? Possum Dixon? Buffalo Tom?
