Well, I love the Buffy/Angel love theme. I also like the club mix of "Living Dead Girl" that Faith dances (and fights) to in "Angel" when she first heads to LA.

What is best in life?
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you and to hear the lamentation of their women...

Where did you find a site to download these songs for free? Would love to download some. I don't have any Buffy soundtracks but plan to buy them one of these days.

Hey Siri. This site offers some of Beck's stuff from the first few seasons of Buffy for download. If you open the files in windows media player you can save them onto your computer.

This site doesn't have the stuff from the soundtracks, so don't worry about ethical quandries!!

Yeah, I'd have to go with 'Hush' too.
I also like haunting 'The Wish' music and 'The Prom'--I loved that 'Wild Horses' song.
And I love the Nerf Herder theme too btw. Used it as my cell phone ringer for a long time.

Oh. My. God. I did not just read that. "That 'Wild Horses' Song" is probably the greatest rock ballad ever written. Unfortunately, some bright spark decided to replace the original version with some girl leathering it. The low point of season 3 was that song kicking in - it was clearly chosen for the lyric "Let's do some living, after we die", but what I don't understand is why they didn't just use the Stones version.
Why mess with perfection?

Are you kidding? Do you have any idea how much a Stones song costs? If they'd gone with the Stones version the finale would have looked like this:

*Buffy stakes vampire*

Vampire: Aaah! *throws dust in the air and runs away very fast*
Major: *wearing a green outfit and a snake mask* Aha! I am a demon! Bow before me!
Buffy: Giles! Time to blow up the school!

*Giles pushes the plunger*

*stage hand holds a sign up in front of the camera that reads KA-BOOM!

The Scoobies stand in front of a small bonfire

Buffy: Whoa! That was some battle, huh?

LOL! The Stones can be a bit steep with their royalty demands, it's true. But this was back when Buffy was a very successful show commercially, so maybe they could have afforded it (though I guess maybe not if 'The Departed' couldn't afford to put Gimme Shelter as well as Let It Loose on their soundtrack!). Anyway, Mick and Keith would have seen some cash for the use of that song anyway. But

My favourite Stones money grabbing story is when they basically broke The Verve for swiping the riff for Bittersweet Symphony from The Last Time. You don't fuck with Mick Jagger's lawyers...

I actually think the Sundays version works better in the scene. It has some of the sullen forlorn desperation of the original but with a voice that's more girly and teenager.
