Rock Challenge - Remote Edition [Vol. 2]

Favorite Song Resuscitated by a Quentin Tarantino Movie.

1. Bobby Womack - Across 110th Street (from Jackie Brown)
2. Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) (from Kill Bill Vol. 1)
3. April March - Chick Habit (from Death Proof)

Tarantino has a knack for putting together amazing soundtracks to his movies. I heard him say he uses popular tunes because he doesn't trust a composer to come up with something as good. Either way, I think he has done well to expose people to music that they either never knew or that they'd forgotten about completely. These three are some of my favorites because they work so well within the movies, and on their own.

Not yet familiar with the Rock Challenge? Check out Volume 1 (complete with history and pseudo-instructions)

Basically, just take a listen to the songs in consecutive order (right click to download) and then pick one that sticks out based on whatever criteria you see fit (on the poll in the top right of the page).
