I am talking individual songs. For an entire soundtrack i would consider Tarantino for Pulp Fiction.

Three best soundtracks off the top of my head:

1. Clueless (truly underrated)
2. Singles (stellar and timely artifact)
3. Rushmore (carries the movie)

Top 5 Wiggles Songs

2. Henry, the Octopus - Laid back Haiwaian vibe
3. The song about the camel - I'm pretty sure they rip off the Clash

5. Ba, ba, ba, ba, balabambina - what a chorus!

In my darker moments, travelling all day with the family in our cosy sedan, overdosing on the Wiggles CDs, I have actually considered making a Wiggles best of - for myself - seriously, these guys can get in the groooove.

I agree. On my list, I would probably drop Tical and add ...Cuban Linx. I would also probably drop ODB and add the highly underrated Legend of the Liquid Sword. I guess it would probably be a little top-heavy, but oh well.

Damn I DID forget. That record is probably better than Tical too. As for ODB, I know there may be some disagreement on that one, but I love that record.
