Superheroics - My Playlist

[dewline]

Something I've been cobbling together as a collection of inspirational music if I want to get into a frame of mind for writing or illustrating such things. Alphabetical in order of Title, followed by cover artist (if used, and where known) and original composer of record:

The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai - Neil Norman and His Cosmic Orchestra - Michael Boddicker
Airwolf - Sylvester Levay/Derek Wadsworth/Daniel Caine Orchestra - Sylvester Levay
All My Friends Are Superheroes - Courtney Farquhar
Batman Beyond Main Title - Kristopher Carter
Batman Theme - Danny Elfman
Battle Without Honor or Humanity (from "Kill Bill") - cover artist unknown - Tomoyasu Hotei
Drops Of Jupiter - Train - Charlie Colin, Jimmy Stafford, Pat Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss & Scott Underwood
Enterprising Young Men - Michael Giacchino
The Equaliser Busy Equalising - Stewart Copeland
Justice League Unlimited - Michael McCuistion
Main Titles - Spider-Man - Danny Elfman
The Night Starts Here - Stars
Superman March - John Williams; Boston Pops Orchestra
Theme from the Saint - 1997 - Orbital - Edwin Astley
UNIT Rocks - Murray Gold
What Are You Going to Do When You Are Not Saving the World? - Hans Zimmer
When Heroes Go Down - Suzanne Vega

Have you got a playlist of your own for this sort of thing?

I have a whole soundtrack I did for writing my superhero novel "Stuff of Legend".

Pop songs that spring to mind:

Land of Confusion -- Genesis
Kryptonite -- 3 Doors Down

I should've remembered those two...

You and seawasp have picked some good ones, but I might add:

The Avengers theme - Laurie Johnson
UFO theme - Barry Gray

And a number of other songs by Barry Gray who's titles escape me.

Not sure that either of those would qualify.

Although, by that same logic, I'd have to throw out the Hotei piece, right?
