The Wedding Singer: Music From The Motion Picture by Various Artists (1998) - Soundtrack
Sounding like a flashback of the first few years of MTV, the soundtrack ofThe Wedding Singerstarts as an intended goof and ends up quite listenable, thanks. While a couple of these songs (Musical Youth's "Pass the Dutchie" in particular) had already fallen off the cultural radar by 1985, when the movie's action takes place, what's most impressive is the staying power most of them hold. If anything, the Psychedelic Furs' "Love My Way" sounds even better than it did then, and of course "How Soon Is Now," and "Blue Monday" are classics that have transcended their era: Just ask Matt Pinfield. Or Adam Sandler. Or Steven Morrissey.--Rickey Wright
