While most ’80s soundtracks offer collections of radio-friendly hits from haircut bands, the Some Kind of Wonderful soundtrack features quirky non-hits from bands like the Jesus & Mary Chain, Flesh for Lulu, and the Apartments. This delightfully non-mainstream soundtrack features Stephen Duffy’s “Lonesome,” the March Violets’ unforgettable cover of the Rolling Stones’ “Miss Amanda Jones,” and Pete Shelley’s “Do Anything.” The highlight of the CD is unquestionably Lick the Tins’ gravel-voiced, tin-whistle-driven cover of “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” Just listening to this CD can throw you into a John Hughes nostalgia tailspin that you may not want to come out of. –L.A.
