Default If You Were Asked To Create A Soundtrack For Avatar, Which Songs Would You Include?

My applogies if a similar thread has been made in the past, I searched for one and couldn't find one.

So if you could include some of your favorite songs in a soundtrack for Avatar, which ones do you think would be good for the movie? You can even be as specific as to name what songs you would want played during certain scenes in the movie. If you want to name why you would include each song, then feel free. You can post the actual song, or just simply list them. Both are fine.


These are the only songs that I could think of so far:



Kid Cudi - In My Dreams
Krayzie Bone - Let's Live
Litefoot - Speciality
Bone Thugs N Harmony - Days Of Our Lives (Instrumental)
Michael Jackson - Earth Song



And songs that I might "consider":



Michael Jackson - Fly Away
Black Eyed Peas - Fly Away
Black Eyed Peas - Meet Me Halfway
Krayzie Bone - Sailin (aka Paradise)
Krayzie Bone - Hard To Let Go


My only problem is lack of variety in artists, which is a coincidence. :/

So I'm really interested in hearing the rest of your lists, opinions, ideas, ect.

....If I was asked to create a soundtrack for Avatar, I'd be absolutely delighted to compose. Though, I would have to ask that the same time given to Horner be given me to write and record everything too.


If I were asked which of my favorite songs I'd include in the film if I could... I really have no clue which ones, since I don't really care for anything besides classical and orchestral film score. So...

...maybe a song sung by Enya with mostly strings and a horn or two, with nothing electronic, and just her natural voice... in place of that... pop thing performed by Leona Lewis.

This. Although, I like the background music in I See You - the parts that are like the soundtrack during the chorus. Anyways, I actually love Enya but I also like some electronic music. Nothing flashy, more like this during the first half or so(excluding the loud intro noise.)

YouTube - MGMT - "Love Always Remains"

Good thread, I like it.

For me, it'd be a load of electronic tracks, but electronic that still has that nature/tribal feel.

Instra:mental
- Thugtronik
- Photograph
- Translucent

dBridge & Instra:mental
- Blush Response [If I had to insist one song, this would be it.]
- Rendevouz

Blu Mar Ten
- Believe Me
- By The Time My Light Reaches You, I'll Be Gone
- If I Could Tell You

Logistics
- No Words
- Slow Motion

And I think that's about it so far, without clooging up the thread too much.

Coldworld - Wintereisse is about all I can come up with, to be honest.

I think it would have gone well with when Jake woke up after the destruction of hometree as he walks through the ash.

Ensiferum - Victory Song (change a few of the lyrics and it's perfect ) - or possibly The New Dawn
Kotipelto - Here We Are
Coldworld - Escape
Korpiklaani - With Trees
Power Quest - Human Machine

Could probably come up with a few more but those are all I can think of right now.

^ Seconds Victory Song

Soulfly.
Soulfly II. - Soulfly

To Holmgard and Beyond - Turisas (would be a pretty good Epic soundtrack. Used in the same way as "Gathering the Na'vi clans for battle". And maybe without the lyrics.)
Para Belum - Vader (it's short, but fits perfect with a pre-battle theme Would sound even better if youwere to take it together with This is the War - Vader. Wouldn't fit at all though :/ )
Vigil - Mass Effect Score (Together with a space scene... PERFECT!!!!!! )
The Lazarus Project - Mass Effect 2 Score
Bloodmarch - Finntroll

As same as HNM, could think of more... not right now
