  Some Gems but Too Much is Missing

  • Incentivized

  there are some wonderful songs from the series here and some I skip over every time. Two of the gems which aren't available anywhere else are Elvis Costello's version of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" which he recorded for House and Band From TV's version of You Can't Always Get What You Want. The later is a recurring theme on the show and the Stone's version has been in 3 episodes. The downloadable version of the CD includes BFTV's "Minnie the Moocher" as a bonus track. What's missing? House has taken advantage of the fact that Hugh Laurie is a musician. While it's nice that BFTV is on the album, those songs weren't actually on the show. I would have preferred that they included their new versions of "Hymn to Freedom" and Bach's "French Suite No. 5" or the original piece written for Half-Wit.

  The soundtrack for the television series "House, MD" is as varied and as quirky as the show itself. If you like the show, you'll love the album. I'm hoping that they will release as second soundtrack, because there are still a lot of excellent songs, and emotional instrumental pieces that I woulld love to have on CD. A nice touch is the last track on the album - "You Can't Always Get What You Want" (which has become an unofficial anthem for the show) - Is recorded by Band From TV in which Hugh Laurie plays the keyboard/piano.
