I hope these two soundtracks hadn't been mentioned: The Godzilla 1998 soundtrack and The Rugrats Movie (not the Paris one) soundtrack. The Godzilla one (which was given to me as a Christmas present in 1998, as well as the movie on VHS) because it had some pretty good songs on there like Puff Daddy's "Come With Me" (which was my sisters' favorite song on there) and the Wallflowers' cover of David Bowie's "Heroes", the first track off that album. Ironically, the latter was my favorite because I had a major thing for the Wallflowers (and still do to this day), and I did like that outfit Jakob Dylan was wearing in that video. I really wanted that necklace, that V-neck sweater and those Chucks!! 
Also the soundtrack to The Rugrats Movie for the same reason as well. There was a song my sisters and I liked that played on Nickelodeon, VH1, MTV, and the radio at the time called "Take Me There" by Mya and Blackstreet. I wanted to buy that album just because of that one song. Not only that, it also featured a remix of the song that played on the radio as a bonus track at the end of the disc. But there was an alternate reason. There was a two-minute song called "This World Is Something New To Me", which featured 15 different music stars playing newborn kids in a hospital delivery room who tell of their plight in a newborn's point of view. This includes Dylan, the late Lou Rawls, Beck, Lenny Kravitz, and 11 others. When I bought this album, I did not know there was a track with all those acts in one short track, so when I first popped the disc in my CD player, I gave it a couple of listens and tried to determine what the singers were referring to in the song. It took me nearly a decade to understand who said what, what the song meant, the background checks of the music acts themselves, what babies they played as, how this was done, who formed this 15-member musical voice acting group and why they were selected, and other additional factoids about the song as well. Because of all this, that two-minute song is my favorite of all the songs on that soundtrack, next to "Take Me There!"
