Movie Soundtrack – Batman Forever – Music Suggestion

Granted, the Batman Forever movie wasn’t so great (wasn’t terrible, but wasn’t the best), but I bought the soundtrack on CD-Rom around 1995 (I still have it), later ripped the songs to my hard drive, have them on my iPod, and it’s a really good soundtrack.

Some of the songs are mid to fast tempo, so they’re good for biking or running to, while slower numbers are good for walking to.

The biggest hit from this soundtrack, the best known song, is probably Seal’s “Kiss From A Rose.” But there are so many other great songs on this disc.

Michael Hutchence (former lead singer of Aussie band INXS) did one of the tracks on the soundtrack: “The Passenger.”

(If you like the “Passenger” song, be aware that Siouxsie and the Banshees also did an excellent cover of that song in the 1980s that you may want to check out (listen to it on You Tube (audio only), and/or buy The Passenger by Siouxsie and the Banshees via Amazon’s site).)
