Who listens to the Watchmen?

Besides completely original music for the film, the Watchmen Soundtrack is going to be made up of a bunch of songs that most of us are familiar with. Any opinions or comments on artist/song selection? Personally, I'm just trying to figure out, based on the book, where the songs would be most appropriate.

Music From The Motion Picture Watchmen track-listing is as follows:
1. Desolation Row - My Chemical Romance
2. Unforgettable - Nat King Cole
3. The Times They Are A-Changin' - Bob Dylan
4. The Sound Of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel
5. Me & Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin
6. I'm Your Boogie Man - KC & The Sunshine Band
7. You're My Thrill - Billie Holiday
8. Pruit Igoe & Prophecies - The Philip Glass Ensemble
9. Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen
10. All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix
11. Ride of the Valkyries - Budapest Symphony Orchestra
12. Pirate Jenny - Nina Simone*
* - used in the end credits of the "Tales From The Black Freighter" DVD.

  2. Sweet. Not my fuck-up this time.

    Seriously, though, someone needs to give the computer guy at WFNP a stern talking to. And a beating.
