Never heard of it.

Tom Lehrer is an older and more political version of Wierd Al Yankovic.

Heh...okay. Not sure I'd all that a "soundtrack", though.

Not all Woodstock albums would be considered "soundtracks", but one is a triple album that is the soundtrack to a documentary on The Woodstock Music and Arts Festival.

Both good choices. I like your taste, PT2K

Thanks! Your choices are great too!

Sentimental favorite: Pink Floyd - "Dark Side of the Moon"

First album I ever bought with my own money I earned cutting lawns.

Personal favorite: (tie)Stevie Ray Vaughan - "Texas Flood" and The White Stripes - "White Blood Cells"

Well, for personal reasons.

It was kinda like love at first sound.

Weird favorite: Love -"Forever Changes"

A girl introduced it to me. She gave it to me for Christmas (she gave me the album too). lol ..j/k.. Not really weird but I couldn't think of anything different yet still rock.

Classic favorite: The Beatles---"Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

That was the hardest to choose.

Soundtrack favorite: "Pulp Fiction"

Love how Quentin Tarantino uses music in his movies. Hearing each song you remember each scene you heard it in.
