GPB was quality
GPB is such an underrated movie. Banger soundtrack, great action sequences, funny jokes, Minnie Driver, Joan Cusack, Dan Ackroyd... It's got everything!
The non-soundtrack compilation that first comes to mind is The Duran Duran Tribute Album. It's all covers of Duran Duran songs and, because it was released in the late 90s, there's more than its fair share of ska.
There are a lot of great tracks. My highlights are Goldfinger's version of Rio and The Wesley Willis Fiasco's cover of Girls on Film.
This album made me realize that Duran Duran was about 20bpm away from being one of my favorite bands.
“His name is Dio. Ronnie James Dio!”
Oh wow, "Dio" would be a great name for a Lemmy app. 🤘
For classic rock, the Dazed and Confused soundtracks are phenomenal. I'm also partial to the Hackers soundtrack for early/mid '90s electronic music.
Dicks 1980-1986. Pretty much a comp of their best songs, some are live and some are studio takes but it’s just a great album and they did a lot for queer punk in Texas in the early 80’s which was pretty rare.
The Crow soundtrack has some great ones.
You reminded me of the Hackers soundtrack
Another good one.
There are many great soundtracks that spring to mind. Among them just two are: Pulp Fiction and Garden State.
O Brother Where Art Thou? has a fantastic soundtrack. The Guardians of the Galaxy soundtracks are also quite good.
The Sire Records “Just Say” albums of the early 90s.
The best way to discover new punk bands in the 90s was through comps. The Punk-O-Rama, Give Them the Boot, and Fat Wreck Chords compilations are the soundtrack of my teen years. But my favorites were the Nitro Records ones. Deep Thoughts and Go Ahead Punk... Make My Day were my favorites.
Also special shot out to Punk-O-Rama III

R. Stevie Moore - Meet The R. Stevie Moore! An Introduction To The Godfather Of Home Recording
Big shiny tunes 2 was foundational to me.
Pulse, for the sweet 90s dance.
Does The Crow OST count?
The soundtrack to Dirty Dancing sent me off in directions of 1960s dance and doo-wop and also 1980s pop in a big way.
Brazil Classics 1 - Beleza Tropical, was compiled by David Byrne from Talking Heads and has some incredible Latin stuff on it.
Hugh Masekela – The Chisa Years 1965-1975 (Rare And Unreleased) has some African jazz and funk that sounds like nothing else and is what American funk would sound like five to ten years later.
Pomegranates, from 2009, is a compilation of pre-revolution Iranian funk that is shockingly listenable.
WipeOut 2097 Soundtrack
Punk goes pop - was the soundtrack of my teens
International Superhits was a really good Green Day album. Only thing I'd really change though is add 86 (from Nimrod) to it.
Terror off the beat
Was a series of industrial music compilations in the 90's. Introduced a lot of us to industrial music we never would have heard of without it.
