All great songs, all would have available before Quill left Earth, and no repeated artists from previous soundtrack. Plus I think they work thematically with Quill and Gamora’s unspoken thing.
He now also has access to everything up to the modern day; presumably Tony Stark will hook him up with some Metallica and I’m sure he and Thor will enjoy jamming out to some Led Zeppelin once Quill gets over his insecurities. Hopefully Peter Parker updates some of his tastes, though I doubt he’s going to care for anything with too much Auto-Tune.
I have to wonder, though…what will he think about a Footloose remake?
Peter Quill: “You mean the evil minister dad guy is played by that guy from Innerspace? Hey, have they made any more Star Wars movies? Were they any good?”
Peter Parker: “Uh…Mr. Stark, what should I tell him?”
Tony Stark: “Mr. Lord, George Lucas vowed to never make another Star Wars film and sold the franchise to Disney, which produced the best sequels ever made.”
Quill: “Really? Is Han Solo still best anti-hero ever? It was so cool when he shot Greedo first.”
Parker: “Uh…”
Stark: “Enough pop culture! Let’s just focus on the matter at hand, okay? I have to get home by dinner so Pepper can nag at me for saving the galaxy.”
Nice. I went with “Why Cant We Be Friends” though for the irony factor.I can totally see this playing while the Guardians carve a slow-motion swath through an army of mooks.
