Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, we can right their wrong. Skipping these songs would be akin to killing off Sam Rockwell in the first 15 minutes of the movie because you wanted to add a couple extra scenes for Mickey Rourke – you could do it, but you’d make the movie completely one-dimensional and you miss most of the fun. Thankfully, Favreau did not choose that direction for the movie, but the guys who put the soundtrack album together did, choosing one note of badassitude instead of letting you enjoy the full flavor of the movie. Since when did Beastie Boys, Queen, 2Pac, Daft Punk, The Clash or Rob Base deserve second billing? After all, the other songs are none too shabby. Not that I have anything again AC/DC, but staying true to the music from the movie would have made for a much better soundtrack album. The soundtrack album completely skips the 18 other songs that are in the movie. However, you can find the downloads for all the songs here. While the soundtrack album that they released for the movie has 15 songs from AC/DC on it, only two of these songs – Shoot to Thrill and Highway to Hell – are actually in the movie. There are 20 songs in Iron Man 2, but only two of the songs from the movie are on the soundtrack album.
