Best 90s Soundtrack
The films of the 1990s were big, bold, and left a lasting impression on audiences and future filmmakers alike. The best 90s soundtracks were no different. After the 1980s saw an explosion in commercially viable movie soundtracks, the 90s upped the ante, stacking major films with exclusive songs from some of the day's biggest music artists, or carefully curating track lists of future indie darlings. Now, 20-plus years later, the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast wants to determine the best 1990s film soundtrack! Soundtracks discussed include: The Lion King, Wayne’s World, Clueless, The Wedding Singer, William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet, The Craft, Empire Records, Reality Bites, Dazed and Confused, Pulp Fiction, The Bodyguard, Singles, and more.
Listen as Host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Jim Czadzeck, Karissa Kloss, and Kate Racculia discuss and debate 16 of the most impactful film soundtracks of the 90s, ultimately naming their favorite of the bunch.
