Some people will think that I'm crazy
But I reall think Glitter was -
is overlooked. It's a very, very good
record, better than The Emancipation
of Mimi (that's just me).

That was one of the songs that made me fall in love with them at the time. That movie sorta bugged me, but I that soundtrack; it takes me back to my senior year in high school when I hear it.

Anx said:

yeah. the movie wasn't nearly as good as i remember it to be, but the soundtrack is terrific! love concrete blonde. johnette napolitano has a great voice.

anyone who gives the Cabs their due is a-ok in my books. I've never heard that particular album, mind you.

Reggae's never meant much to me. I tried in '88 or so - a friend convinced me that I'd never be cool if I didn't develop a taste for it, and I guess I didn't have a mind of my own back then. However, this album is pretty much undeniable, Rivers of Babylon and Johnny Too Bad in particular.



I really love a lot of Ennio Morricone's scores. If I had to pick just one it would be the Mission:

Saturday Night Fever
Grease

1. claudine
2.saturday night fever
3.set it off
4. waiting to exhale
5.the klumps

I'm adding on to my on topic because you guys just reminded me a few that I also like so I'm adding 2 more to my list:
1. Superfly
2. Friday
That's it for now.
