Saturday Spotlight On Soundtracks (from movies where the music is better than the film) ~ Twenty-one
This may be one of the first soundtracks in the modern times (nod to Bob Dylan there) to have “popular” bands doing covers of ‘80s songs. Paving the way for many of the soundtracks below (especially 50 First Dates). Of course, back in ’99 bands like Semisonic, Sister Hazel and Letters to Cleo were “popular”. Overall, not a bad soundtrack.
Letters to Cleo ~ I Want You To Want Me
Semisonic ~ FNT
The Cardigans ~ War
Madness ~ Wings of a Dove
Buy 10 Things
Other soundtracks ~ Vanilla Sky ~ Zoolander ~ Next Stop Wonderland ~ Just Like Heaven ~ City of Angels ~ Bewitched ~ I Am Sam ~ Brazil ~ Monster in Law ~ Ladder 49 ~ Big Bad Love ~ Starsky & Hutch ~ 50 First Dates ~ Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood ~ Swing Kids ~ Wicker Park ~ French Kiss ~ Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back ~ Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants ~ Aeon Flux

i do love semisonic and the band they were before-Trip Shakespeare are one of my top bands ever,theres been loads of live trips stuff turning up on eztree recently (I have a good friend in holland who downloads torrents- i've never been able to work out how to do such things)theirs even been a trips dvd, oh joy.
actors who sing- what about Bill Mumy from Lost In Space, Babylon 5?
he has done quite a few more straight forward solo albums in recent years but its his role as half of the wonderfully strange Barnes And Barnes- (fisheads fisheads!!)that makes him a talent to be cherished.

FNT and the Cardigans' War are great songs. I was about to download them when I realized I *own* this CD. D'oh!!
I believe Letters to Cleo's I Want You To Want Me tops Cheap Trick, but then I never was a Cheap Trick fan. LTC appears in the movie as the final credits roll, performing this song on the roof of the school building, as a helicopter circles, filming them.
