Our first Soul-Poll generated a huge response and a surprising result, and this new one may just stir up another lively debate. This time around we're asking you all to dig in the crates with us and take a hip trip way back to the '90s to let us know what was the best movie soundtrack from the decade.
We had a lot to choose from, but we narrowed the selection down to four of the tightest overall soundtracks: Boomerang, The Bodyguard, Waiting to Exhale and Love Jones. These four discs were in heavy rotation during the decade alongside
episodes of Martin, Tommy Hilfiger gear, baby doll dresses and Bill Clinton. Good luck on trying to find a hot soundtrack with original music nowadays, but if you're feeling nostalgic like we are then go ahead and dust off your Doc Martens and have your say about these classics after the bounce.
