    Not entirely my thing either, but pretty harmless I guess.

    Reminds me of an English-language Sigur Ros track - apart from the lead singer's isn't Jonsi-esque at all. If it was instrumental, one could mistake it for SR!

    Pleasant though lacks oomph. Love Sigur Ros!

    Sounds like something my sister would listen to, which isn't much of a compliment from me!

    Apologies for the wee intro bit at the start, it's the best version I could find.

    Fair enough, Billy Bragg's "off-punk" style isn't to everyone's taste. Now, if you're going to play soundtracks I'll see your Newman and raise you a Goldsmith:

    Don't really know what to make of that.

    Can't go wrong with some Beatles.

    I think I am part of the small minority that doesn't like the Beatles.

    It's meant to signify Rambo's isolation and the use of the solo trumpet links to his martial background (a returning Vietnam vet). Quite clever orchestration as well as the tune itself being haunting in the context of the film.

    As for the Beatles: you can, actually; that's not one of their more engaging numbers.

    The Beatles are not a group I'd voluntarily listen to, except for 'Lucy'. Not my kind of music. Springsteen = good. Though all ballads like that make me think of:

    You're right, I didn't know it. It wasn't bad though, everyone loves a bit of Irish folk now and again!

    Actually I will add this too as it nearly makes me cry in one part and I'd give anything to have been there:
