"Had we fought a war for our country so that our daughters could scream and swoon over young men who looked like this, who sounded like that?"
NVDL: Sad that they left out "Walking on the Moon" by The Police.
Take the music of Watchmen, for example. Like few that preceded it, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' comic sampled pop culture's musical history like skilled DJs. From Wagner, Billie Holiday and Elvis to the Dead, Dylan and Iggy, Watchmen cited music in nearly every chapter to keep its dense narrative afloat. Sure enough, some of those tunes made Watchmen's official soundtrack, released Tuesday, which is great news for fans incapable of making their own playlists or mix discs.

I just saw the movie and I have to say the soundtrack absolutely sucked. It kept taking me back out of the world of the movie into, instead, the world of "WTF is with these bad and over-done song choices?"
Great movie. TERRIBLE song choices all throughout. It's like they didn't even try. Must have wasted all the big bucks on the special effects when a bit more should have been put into hiring someone who can actually compose music instead of just make an iTunes playlist.
