a few of mine that come to mind:
-"Porque te Vas"- Jeanette, CRIA CUERVOS
-"Le Chanson de Slogan"- Serge Gainsbourg + Jane Birkin, SLOGAN
-"Am I Black Enough for You?"- Schoolly D, KING OF NEW YORK
-"It Could Have Been Me"-?Gerri Thomas?, WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR?
-"Dancing in Heaven (orbital Be-Bop)- Q Feel, GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN
-"Blank Generation"- Richard Hell and the Voidoids, BLANK GENERATION
-"Prisoner"- Barbra Streisand, The Eyes of Laura Mars
-"Blue"- LaTour, BASIC INSTINCT
Good to see STREETS OF FIRE and FLETCH represented! Both are personal faves of mine as well. Also good to see REAL GENIUS represented. I can't believe that they never released an official soundtrack album!
Her,Suzanne,
Ah, "Prisoner"...I forgot that one! There's a few on your list that I don't know. Love "Blank Generation," though I don't usually associate it with the Lommel film.
J.D.,
Yes, I know of your affinity for FLETCH and STREETS OF FIRE! Yes, REAL GENIUS is one of the better soundtracks to not be officially released.
