In fact, apart from Eddie Murphy, they are the only band that has appeared on every soundtrack. This time they appear twice, also performing Losing Steak , which is another stellar performance. From there the soundtrack takes a welcoming step back in time with The Ramones Do You Remember Rock N Roll Radio?
, Led Zeppelin s Immigrant Song , and Wings Live And Let Die . It was a surprise to hear such classics on a soundtrack, since the others have been more pop albums than rock, and more about newer bands, rather than older ones. However, after listening to the rest of the soundtrack, the songs meld within the soundtrack, especially The Immigrant Song , which compliments Wolfmother s classic rock-sounding The Joker And The Thief .
Both tracks have such a similar style of sound, that it s hard to separate the two from each other. Fergie s version of Barracuda was another surprise. I d heard, before buying the album, that she had covered Heart and was prepared to skip through the song.
Although vocally, she has always had the strength to produce great music, I didn t think she would be able to give Barracuda the justice it deserved. I was wrong. Fergie s cover of Barracuda is one of the best songs on the soundtrack.
She really nails each line, delivering it with the same oomph Ann Wilson delivered the first time around. In honesty, hearing the first couple of lines delivered with such strength, I thought it was Ann Wilson singing. Fergie has updated the classic rock track for a whole new generation to fall in love with all over again.
