Best movie soundtrack ever? Opinions may vary, but you can't deny how powerful and fitting of a role the musical backdrop plays on the gritty, heroin-induced trip that is the cult smash Trainspotting. Just as in the film, which celebrates a 20th anniversary this year, the 14-tracker starts with 's "Lust For Life," and includes tracks by ("Deep Blue Day"), ("Perfect Day"), ("Trainspotting"), ("Sing"), ("Born Slippy (Nuxx)), Elastica ("2:1"), ("Mile End"), and more. It's an exceptional look at the musical wave of the '90s in the UK where Britpop, techno, and electronic sounds coincided, with older rock/proto-punk also remaining influential.
