I think I have to go with Moby's 'First Cool Hive,' which scores the final scene into the credits with such hauntingly emotional musicality that I can't imagine any other song, or even a piece of Marco Beltrami's iconic score for that matter, over it.

Now it's impossible to imagine a Scream movie without this song!įunny enough, this track was something of a hot commodity for '90s soundtracks, also appearing on Dumb and Dumber and Songs in the Key of X: Music from and Inspired by the X-Files. The Scream soundtrack also gave us the first use of what would become the franchise's kind of unofficial theme with this Nick Cave greatest hit from 1994, used pitch-perfectly over The Town That Dreaded Sundown sequence in which Woodsboro closes up shop due to the curfew. 'Red Right Hand' - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds The songs are so inherently scored to the scenes that they go hand in hand, which is maybe why this is the most nostalgic of the Scream soundtracks-needle-drop after needle-drop. I can hear every track and tell you what scene it plays over. The thing about these ten tracks (plus a couple of B-sides) is a majority of them actually appear in the film, not only used but used well! I mean, can you imagine any song other than 'Don't Fear The Reaper' over Sidney and Billy's makeup and makeout scene? Or anything other than Birdbrain's 'Youth of America' to kick-off Stu's murder party?!

That, of course, is featured on the soundtrack, while Cooper's original version is the one iconically used in the movie. And then, of course, a loungey yet screechy cover of Alice Cooper's 'School's Out' from supergroup The Last Hard Men, featuring Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach and The Breeders guitarist/vocalist Kelley Deal. There are additional interesting covers of '70s and '80s hits, SoHo covering The Icicle Works' 'Birds Fly (Whisper To A Scream)' which sadly does not appear on the actual soundtrack release. The first Scream soundtrack was certainly no exception to this trend, with a perfect Gen X blend of Grunge, Hard Rock, Industrial, Techno, and a kind of brooding gothy nineties singer-songwriter vibe.įittingly for Kevin Williamson's groundbreaking script, there are even a few meta music references, with tracks like Gus Black's cover of Blue Öyster Cult's 'Don't Fear The Reaper' - an obvious nod to the song's use in John Carpenter's Halloween.

I flip through CDs and scan the liner notes of the slasher franchise with the oddest, decade-defining track-lists.Ĭoming out of the '80s into the mid-'90s, you couldn't have a movie targeting teens without a soundtrack full of bangers - a cinematic mixtape made up of chart-topping rockstars and emerging artists alike. So set aside a couple of hours, make yourselves comfortable somewhere where people won't judge you for your viewing habits, and vegetate your way through the best music videos of the 2000s.Has there ever been a Horror franchise with such star-studded soundtracks?! From '90s nostalgia to Alternative Rock & Hip-Hop chart toppers to…Creed. But we only had room for a cool hundred, and the coolest hundred we found. Sure, the record industry may not be what it once was, but that doesn't mean that the past decade hasn't seen hundreds, nay, thousands of videos that deserved consideration in our countdown. Pop stars like Britney Spears made the decade's biggest pop songs that much more iconic, while rappers like Kanye West created visuals that would be remembered as not only the best of the decade, but also as some of the best videos of all time, full stop. While we don't dispute the star power of those putting out the videos in the '80s and '90s, the 2000s welcomed a cinematic renaissance that helped music videos for pop rock and burgeoning rap alike reach a new level of iconic. Some might argue that these were the golden years of the music video, but we beg to differ. Short films integrating a song dates back to the time when film itself was first invented, but skyrocketed in popularity in the 80s with the advent of MTV (Music Television), which originally made music videos its primary and only programming to watch.
