Music looks relevant to the theme and times and is a trend among many movies to take the Simon And Garfunkel approach to add some validity and romance to a movie. Normally I would look at a soundtrack like this and say "really?" The music editor took a very easy road approach but considering the source content I think it works. I am glad there is some Philip Glass in there and a little sprinkle of Flight of the Valkyrie. I personally prefer that style for a movie like this but hey, you gotta sell cds right?
Music From The Motion Picture Watchmen track-listing is as follows:
Desolation Row - My Chemical Romance Unforgettable - Nat King Cole The Times They Are A-Changin' - Bob Dylan The Sound Of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel Me & Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin I'm Your Boogie Man - KC & The Sunshine Band You're My Thrill - Billie Holiday Pruit Igoe & Prophecies - The Philip Glass Ensemble Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix Ride of the Valkyries - Budapest Symphony Orchestra Pirate Jenny - Nina Simone* *used in the end credits of the "Tales From The Black Freighter" DVD.
