Top 10: Rock/Pop Music To Be Used In Epic Movies

My first list: 'The Top 10 Rock/Pop Music that could be used in Epic Movie Scenes'.

Long title huh? haha. What I mean by this is, what songs would best replace those grand, instrumental background music when something inspirational happens in the movie. And this could be either by way of the song title, the song lyrics, or usually just the artist themselves. haha.

Anyway, I'll try to update this list with pics or videos later on. I don't know how and aidah is cooking so she can't teach me yet. :P

Enjoy!

10. Movie: 300. Song: Underoath - Desperate Times, Desperate Measures.

- I think the song title makes it an obvious choice, but in addidtion to that, can you just imagine how awesome the final battle scene would be if this song was used. Especially the opening riff. haha.

9.  Movie: V For Vendetta. Song: Muse - Uprising

- Choice lyrics: "They will not force us, They will stop degrading us, They will not control us, We will be victorious". Now imagine that chorus, being sung at the same time when those people in the masks were marching down towards the end of the movie. Tak naik bulu roma ke?

8. Movie: Hannibal/Silence Of The Lambs. Song: Chiodos - Is It Progression If A Cannibal Uses A Fork?

- Again, I chose this song more for the title rather than the song itself. But even the first few words from the song seem to fit into the movie. Choice lyrics: "Listen up sweetie. We all know that you're a beautiful girl in a horrible world". You can just imagine Dr. Hannibal Lecter saying that to Jodie Foster right before he dives into a nice plate of human brains :D

7. Movie: 40 Days 40 Nights. Song: Halifax - Better Than Sex

- Again, just the song title. Its such an obvious match with the movie. I mean, throughout the whole movie Josh Hartnett is trying to find something that is better than sex, but ultimately (as like most guys) he fails and realises that almost NOTHING beats sex :P hahah.  

6. Movie: The 'Saw' Series. Song: My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Okay

- This is obviously chosen for its humour. haha. Imagine how annoyed the victims would be if they were hearing this while they were being tortured. It would be an obvious mockery of their own situation. haha. Choice lyrics: "I'm not okay, I'm not okay, I'm not okay, You wear me out".

5. Movie: Resident Evil 1/2/3. Song: Matchbook Romance - Monsters

- Another obvious choice due to its title. It would also be funny if the hordes of zombies in the movies just walk around in massive zombie groups, then stop, and suddenly break into and song and dance, singing this. Choice lyrics: "We are, We are the shaken, We are the monsters, Underneath your bed, Yeah, Believe what you read".

4. Movie: Matrix Reloaded. Song: Kings Of Leon - Use Somebody

- Remember the fighting scene where Neo was fighting the countless hordes of Agent Smith's? Now, imagine if this song was playing in the background. Kind of the obvious thoughts of Mr. Anderson, don't you think? Choice lyrics: "I've been roaming around, Always looking down, And all I see, You know that I could use somebody".

3. Movie: Back To The Future Series. Song: Aqua - Turn Back Time

- Again, kind of an obvious choice. haha. Damn my first list and already i'm getting lazy :P. Choice lyrics: "If only I could turn back time, I would stay for the night".

2. Movie: Armageddon. Song: Lostprophets - Its Not The End Of The World (But I Can See It From Here)

- Imagine the final moments of the movie. Instead of the whole emotional and sad scene about Bruce Willis, how much funnier would it be if the attention shifted to the NASA station on Earth with this song playing instead? Choice lyrics: "Its not the end of the world now baby, So come on dry those tears, Its not the end of the world now darling, But I can see it from here".

1. Movie: I Am Legend. Song: Saosin - You're Not Alone

- I think this is the most perfect match on the list. The movie shows us just how lonely Will Smith is in the movie because he though he was the only human left on earth. But if only he knew of the other survivors earlier on. The lines to the chorus just really fits into the movie. I mean, imagine if Will Smith waas listening to this during the movie. I'm sure he'd have more of the spirit to keep on living :P haha. Choice lyrics:"You're not alone, There is more to this I know, You can make it out, You will live to tell".


Anyway, there goes my first list. Hope you like it, and obviously I could be wrong or you could have other ideas. Just leave it on the comments alright? :D

lists

Since a few months ago, I discovered I have a new obsession: Lists. I love reading lists. I mean, all those random lists. Lists of information that doesn't really benefit your brain and knowledge. haha.

Its just so fun to read. And although its mostly pointless information, its still fun to those all these random trivia. and some lists are even surprisingly educational. My favourite source for lists: Cracked.com, Oddee.com, and listverse.com, and Goal.com's weekly top 10 list.

Anyway, I figured rather than always blogging about random daily life, I'll start writing about my very own lists. Lists that I myself create. :P haha.
