I truly believe this soundtrack defined those in high school from maybe 1996-2002. https://youtu.be/lqKZwvH2bAQ?si=f_Pf3Tsr8QVc81vG

Yes! The instrumental soundtrack is great too. I think that and the Lion King were the first soundtracks I really loved.

Yes! I was so obsessed that I chose to walk down the aisle to the instrumental version of kissing you from that iconic aquarium scene. So good š
HelpImOverthinking@reddit
That's awesome!

I just watched this movie for the first time last week. I still don't like Shakespeare. I also would have picked Paul Rudd over Leo, 100% of the time lol

I love how he ended up being in so many weird shows I enjoy and I didnāt notice this was him until I did a rewatch of the movie a few years ago. lol
Lost and from (new season starts this month sometime) :)

No way. For me it was Tromeo and Juliet.

Sublime and a weird ass Troma movie. Teenage me loved it. lol

C0BRA_V1P3R@reddit
Fuck yeah! Those Motƶrhead and Unsane tracks were both bangers.
dumbass_sempervirens@reddit
Great, now I have to listen to it again.
Starting with Lovefool.

The choir pieces⦠ahhhh.

It was #1 Crush for me.

Shirley Manson is the very definition of ārock goddessā to me.

We got to see Garbage live a few years ago and the show was phenomenal she is amazing and we had so much fun.
SaquonB26@reddit
Jealous!
graveybrains@reddit
Between her and the Jesus and Mary Chain I really am only happy when it rains.
bord_de_lac@reddit
Oh this song definitely went on a breakup playlist I had to make for myself a couple of years ago. Calling it an unhealthy relationship would be an understatement.
graveybrains@reddit
Dear, I fear you're facing a problem
AlwaysUseAFake@reddit
It was such a good album.Ā Recently rediscovered it.Ā Ā
I had a dream last night is just so good.
giraffemoo@reddit
If you put this CD in a computer, it had it's own little music player that had a slideshow of photos from the movie. This was a long time ago and I forget that else it did.
SpicyChill77@reddit (OP)
YES! I totally forgot about this.
Awkward-Coffee9761@reddit
I was so psyched when my indoor track coach let me bring the music for practice one day (we had kicked off the warmup to STP Creep for 600 weeks in a row and I couldn't take it) - brought this and made it through 1.5 songs, until that Local God F bomb echoed across the gym. Still one of the best soundtracks ever, and my heart still sinks a little at that part even now lol.

My teenage awakening.
Normal-Reward7257@reddit
He was so hot in this movie
firesticks@reddit
Like a permanent paradigm shift for me as a 16 year old in what I found attractive.

I had a moment when I didnāt know if this post would land. I thought this soundtrack was niche to my friends but happy it had the impact I thought.
Juliet_1982@reddit
This is one of the best soundtracks of all time. #4 exit music by Radiohead is still one of my favorite songs.
SpicyChill77@reddit (OP)
100% agree.
periperiwinklesauce@reddit
Volume 2 was so great too!
SpicyChill77@reddit (OP)
I need to pull out volume 2 again.
graveybrains@reddit
Peace? I hate the word.

This has by far been my favorite character of his. We donāt talk about my other favorite of his!
selftaughtgenius@reddit
He was absolutely INCREDIBLE in this film.
Just perfection. And gorgeous.
MsBlondeViking@reddit
Agree with you on all three. He did so amazing. Especially as most of his roles I love him in, heās goofy.
seanymphcalypso@reddit
Loved him intensely as Miss Chi Chi Rodriguez! But I have to agree, heās never been a disappointment to see on screen š«¶
graveybrains@reddit
Well, now I want to talk about it. Is it Luigi, Chi Chi Rodriguez, Sid, or the clown from Spawn?
6thBornSOB@reddit
No Hangin with the Homeboys!?
graveybrains@reddit
Why wouldn't they want to talk about that one?

instant_ramen_chef@reddit
That first line.
What thou art drawn amoung these heartless hinds? Turn thee, Benvolio. And look upon thy death.
Cold, smooth, sadistic. Perfection.
HelpImOverthinking@reddit
Yep this started my love for him. I still love when he shows up in a movie.
MsBlondeViking@reddit
Same! His voice is instantly recognizable. And I get excited each time lol. Was happy to hear him show up in Zootopia 2.

As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.

I had a dream last night
MeatPopsicle10@reddit
Everybodyās Free is such a sweet song. My brother was severely disabled and I used to sing this to him.
Appropriate_Jelly_79@reddit
Absolutely. I still listen to it regularly.
MeatPopsicle10@reddit
This was one of my lullabies to my kids! Iām horrible with remembering lyrics but this is one of a handful of songs that I actually know
BlossomingOrchard@reddit
Still listen to the soundtrack, it's so good
aga8833@reddit
Defining.
Alternative-Light514@reddit
Little Star has become on of my reference tracks when testing hifi. When the song fills out, the sax comes in, the choir, š¤. It was prob my least favorite track back then, but upon realizing how great it sounds, itās grown on me over the years
HeywoodJaBlessMe@reddit
Yeah....loved it back then and love it now. I spin the vinyl all the time.
Talk Show Host remains my favorite Radiohead song to this day.
Alternative-Light514@reddit
Iām reeaaaad-y. Buh, dun. Dun. Dunnn.
Adventurous_Pin_344@reddit
SAME!!! Such a good song.
thecatsofwar@reddit
The When Doves Cry cover is fire.
SnooCats7584@reddit
The other day at work I asked my coworkers what their favorite movie soundtrack was and they didnāt have an answer, so I played this while we worked on a repetitive task for an hour without students around. I like Talk Show Host best, and then probably To You I Bestow. Wish that Exit Music for a Film had made it onto the album though.
jess_ica@reddit
Talk Show Host, To You I Bestow, & #1 Crush were my trinity from this one. Ugh. Repeat forever.
instant_ramen_chef@reddit
Made out with a girl while Kissing You by Desiree played on a boom box in her den.
Low_Basket_9986@reddit
My first CD!
sassyfontaine@reddit
Truly a masterpiece
sweat-it-all-out@reddit
I'm a proud Garbage fan.
HowsMyBuddy@reddit
This is the tape that made me realize I had never had good speakers in a car or in my room. My Panasonic shelf system had 3w output. In 2000 I bought my friendās floor speakers and an amp. I still have the speakers, and still crank an awful lot of Garbage.
sophietehbeanz@reddit
I really didnāt understand what they were talking about until my sister who was a senior at the time had taken me to go see this movie. She explained everything to me and what it meant. It was the best movie ever. I ended up seeing it again with my friend and enjoyed it even more a second time.
intensenerd@reddit
We were a little obsessed in the late 90ās yes.
firegecko5@reddit
For my friends and I, it was The Matrix soundtrack.
CherryCherry5@reddit
It's one of my most favourite soundtracks ever.
belushi99@reddit
I just watched this this morning!
