Rock
Music was so important to this druggie classic that two soundtracks were released for the film. The first is your typical, songs featured in the movie type of OST. The other dropped a year later with songs that inspired the filmmakers. Both are stacked with the kind of cool guy post-punk that a lot of kids are drawing from in the indie scene today. If names like Brian Eno, New Order, and Joy Division aren't mainstays in your iTunes library, this soundtrack isn't a bad place to start.

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.
