Various – Pulp Fiction (Music From The Motion Picture)

Dick Dale's Surf Guitar provided the memorable theme ("Misirlou") for Quentin Tarantino's Smash of 1994, and although this sound runs through the entire soundtrack (along with some dialogue pieces from the film), this is a pretty eclectic bunch of really great songs. Where else do you find Chuck Berry, Maria McKee, Al Green, The Statler Brothers, Kool and the Gang, Urge Overkill (who sings a Neil Diamond ballad!), Ricky Nelson, Dusty Springfield and the Tornadoes (among others) on one album?
