Rock
We've all gotten our ex-girlfriends to do awesome stuff for us, but Spike Jonze turned it up by getting his former girl, Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs fame, to handle the soundtrack for his most recent film. She killed it too. Karen's quirky vocal habits and knack for songwriting probably would have sufficed, but homegirl got a who's who of indie rock supporting cast (as well as a chorus of wild-ass kids) to help out. In turn, we got one of the hottest movie soundtracks, well, ever. Sure beats the repeat smash.

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.
