06: Who's afraid of the big black bat?: Batman Forever

Sidetracked with Abbie and Jon

Jun 1 2022 • 1 hr 16 mins

Once again we travel back to 1995 for the heyday of big money making soundtracks that actually rock with Batman Forever. Produced by RZA and released on Atlantic Records, this soundtrack is SO much more than U2 and "Kiss From a Rose". We talk our love of Brandy, and Lenny Kravitz's covert performance on this gem; we also get deep into our love of Sunny Day Real Estate and The Offspring (pre-Pretty Fly days). If you have watched the film recently, you will completely understand why this soundtrack was the catalyst for proceeding soundtracks to add the caveat "music INSPIRED by the movie"

Track Listing: "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 – "One Time Too Many" by PJ Harvey – "Where Are You Now?" by Brandy – "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal – "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game" by Massive Attack and Tracey Thorn (The Marvelettes cover) – "Nobody Lives Without Love" by Eddi Reader – "Tell Me Now" by Mazzy Star – "Smash It Up" by the Offspring (The Damned cover) – "There Is a Light" by Nick Cave – "The Riddler" by Method Man – "The Passenger" by Michael Hutchence (Iggy Pop cover) – "Crossing the River" by the Devlins – "8" by Sunny Day Real Estate – "Bad Days" by the Flaming Lips –
