The CD will also contain classic tracks from Bob Dylan (''Man in the Long Black Coat'') and David Bowie (''Heroes''), and the first new single from Jesus and Mary Chain (''All Things Must Pass'') in a decade.

Makes me a little sad to see W&L amongst this quasi alternative, unfunky rock shit....

My big question is are W&Ls tracks on here actual songs or just scene music?

Wonderwall said:

Good question.

i don't get why they never throw a regular song into the mix...you'd think they could.

Maybe the studio doesn't want them too do so. They have on some other shows, iirc.

Bob Dylan, Wilco, Bowie, Iggy...may not be funky but the girls are in some class A company.

Excellent W&L are lucky to be around that kind of talent, as far as FUNKY, when the hell were W&L funky? They were around the funk, but they never had it.

I agree...they fell more into the alternative mold if you want to label them. But Are You My Baby? from Fruit at the Bottom is definitely one hell of a funky little gem.

Wonderwall said:

as is Skeleton Key.

I've never heard any music on Heroes aside from Wendy & Lisa's score. Where on earth did they come up with all this other music? Has anyone ever heard any of these songs on an episode of Heores?
