Rock/Folk
Wes Anderson initially intended for the Rushmore soundtrack to be composed mainly of songs by The Kinks, but it ended up being a pleasant, mostly mellow assortment of more obscure songs from John Lennon ("Oh Yoko!") and Rod Stewart's group Faces ("Ooh La La") with some classic Cat Stevens ("The Wind") mixed in, finished off with random shit like crooning from Frenchman Yves Montand. A bit weird, but then if you fuck with Wes Anderson's quirky movies, you no doubt fuck with his very particular taste in music.

Um, best song "Uptown Anthem"???? FOH. "Know The Ledge" might be the best rap song EVER, let alone on this kinda shitty soundtrack.

the only wes anderson movie this ist features is rushmore, and that's at 32? FOH. Tenenbaums is in the top 10. Seu Jorge's Bowie covers for life aquatic deserve a spot as well. His soundtrancks are like art (kudos, music supervisor randal poster).

More Than A Game? Drake, Kanye, Lil Wayne, Eminem-Forever? That alone makes it a great soundtrack, but it also has Drop It Low.
