The Seattle sound was a huge influence during my early college years (it might already be obvious). A big part of that was the forgettable movie "Singles" with the killer soundtrack. Cool tracks from Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Screaming Trees, and multiple tracks from Paul Westerberg. "Dyslexic Heart" was probably the best known Westerberg track, but I prefer "Waiting For Somebody."
Enter Sandman - Metallica
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Even Flow - Pearl Jam
Waiting For Somebody - Paul Westerberg
It might not be obvious why I'd have this song on my college-years soundtrack over some of the other rackss. That's mostly because I already have tracks from the other bands previously (or possibly planned). It's unfortunately true that multiple tracks from this movie soundtrack played in my personal soundtrack, but I felt that I should just pick one. This album was my gateway to Alice In Chains especially, and "Would?" is a huge track. Picking a representative track is a bit different from picking a favorite, isn't it?
No really good versions of a video for this track were on YouTube, so here are videos for other great songs from the Singles Soundtrack.
Nearly Lost You - Screaming Trees
Would - Alice In Chains
Battle of Evermore - Lovemongers (never knew that was the gals from Heart)
Drown - Smashing Pumpkins
Chloe Dancer / Crown Of Thorns - Mother Love Bone
Breath - Pearl Jam
