10 Things I Hate About You - Soundtrack

Well, it’s been a long, LONG time since I wrote on Dooyoo, but now and then, a CD and/or video comes along which is so darn fantastic, I feel the need to tell as many people as possible about it. (At a guess, about 15. The 2 of my friends who actually listen to a word I say, and my usual 12-13 reads here.) To fully appreciate this wonderful soundtrack, it’s best to first watch the equally amazing movie. However, even if you’ve never heard of the film ‘Ten Things I Hate About You’, it’s possible to enjoy this collection of 14 tracks simply for the brilliance of the – mostly lesser known – artists. ...  Read the complete review

10 Things I Hate About You Soundtrack (1999) - Various Artists I was cleaning my bedroom when I came across this CD.

10 things... is the THE teen movie in my opinion, it's got great lines, strong characters, great plot (even if nicked from Shakespeare!) and the ending everyone wanted to happen! The soundtrack to this film is also great. Every so fits so perfectly into the film. Yet it's also a great just a great listen as an album in it's own right, and I thing that's what makes a good soundtrack. The album opened with, and closes with the brilliant Letters to Cleo (Kat's favourite band in the film). this soundtrack is what introduced me to this band and I've been a fan ever since. A great pop rock band with a girl with a huge voice fronting them. Also, I Want ...  Read the complete review
