Soul
There's a reason these songs are played (literally) thousands of times a day on oldies stations across the country (and it's not 'cause half of America's grandparents were conceived when they were on the charts)—each one is classic '60s Americana (with a little Procul Harum thrown in for good measure). And if you get a little bored rockin' to the oldies, just change the lyrics: "If you feel like givin' me/A lifetime supply of lotion..."

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.
