I can't read and listen to music with lyrics at the same time. That said, I will occasionally put in some Thelonious Monk or Joe Satriani. Lords of Karma goes well with pretty much anything.
I can never decide whether it was dumb or brilliant that Scud had suggested voice talent and suggested soundtrack for each issue. Thinking of those voices really changed how I thought of some of the characters and scenes.
This song would sound okay with better production and people who can sing
Yeah, it's obviously lacking that professional polish. But I feel it makes up for it by being kind of earnest. It's the musical equivalent of an indy comic that the creator's put together at the local Kinko's; yeah the anatomy's probably kind of fucked, and the art looks sort of grainy, but you have to admire the creator's passion.

Rancid has a little ditty called "Sidekick"
I had a dream I was a vigilante's side kick
My name is Tim I'm a lesser- known character
I had a dream I was a vigilante's side kick
Fighting crime in the streets together
Down in Oakland
Off of West Grant
St. Joseph relief poor program
A good place where good people get food
Help your fellow man a good thing to do
Government agency said be afraid of me
I'll shut your doors down and it won't phase me
Wolverine came through left the agent for dead
Put the doors back up, everyone was fed
I had a dream I was a vigilante's side kick
My name is Tim I'm a lesser- known character
I had a dream I was a vigilante's side kick
Fighting crime in the streets together
Do not build them abandoned buildings
It's nice to sleep when you got a ceiling
Neighborhood watch said we gotta put a stop
Can't have people living for free call the cops
Here come the swat team and the M-16
Shoot the walls in and destroy the building
Wolverine was sad and it made him mad
Every single cop got a bullet in the head
I had a dream I was a vigilante's side kick

Eh. It's fun. I like it. Kind of have to hear it to make it enjoyable though.
Here's another most people probably have heard. You've all heard Tenacious D right? If not, you're doing life wrong. Anyways, Wonderboy
High above the mucky-muck, castle made of clouds,
There sits Wonderboy, sitting oh so proudly.
Not much to say when you're high above the mucky-muck.
Yeah, yeah.
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck now?
[spoken]
Now it's time for me to tell you about Young Nastyman,
archrival and nemesis of Wonderboy, with powers comparable to Wonderboy.
What powers you ask? I dunno, how 'bout the power of flight?
That do anything for ya? That's levitation holmes.
How 'bout the power to kill a yak, from 200 yards away...
with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Kyle.
How 'bout the power... to move you?
[sung]
History of Wonderboy and Young Nastyman,
Riggah-goo-goo, riggah-goo-goog.
A secret to be told, a gold chest to be bold,
And blasting forth with three-part harmony, go!
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from that mucky-muck man?
[spoken]
When Wonderboy and Young Nastyman joined forces;
they formed a band the likes of which have never been seen,
and they called themselves Tenacious D. That's right,
[sung]
Me! And KG!
[KG (spoken):] That's me.
[sung]
We're now Tenacious D!
Come fly with me, fly!
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck now,
Oh!
[spoken]
Take my hand!
Young Nastyman, we're gonna fly!
Bring out your broadsword.
There's the hydra.
Slice his throat!
And grab his scrote.
You take the high road,
I'll take the low.
There, the crevasse,
Fill it with your mighty juice.

Anyone here read La Cosa Nostroid? They had musical suggestions for each page in the front cover of the book. I never got around to actually putting the music to the pages, but I always thought it was a brilliant idea.

The version of The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning by Smashing Pumpkins that they use for the Watchmen Trailer, is pretty perfect for Watchmen in general. Why did they originally waste such a great track on Goddamn Batman and Fucking Robin?

blue monday did that too, with like ultra-hip suggestions. i think all of chyna cluggston's stuff does that. i'm pretty sure i remember it in scooter girl too, but am too lazy to walk out to the other room and confirm that in my copy.

Yes, it was a Scud spinoff that was also pretty good. I've only got like one or two issues, but I'm hoping that now that they have Scud all collected, they'll do the same for all their side projects.

bringing this thread back because i just found this in my iTunes library
A couple of years back Top Shelf released a soundtrack for Craig Thompson's Blankets. I never had a chance to reread the graphic novel with the soundtrack playing, but thought it was a very cool experimental idea.

As for songs inspired by comics, I always enjoy Four Color Love Story.

Though for some strange reason, even though Mcfarlane drew the cover and everything, they weren't allow to use the name Spawn on the songs.

So that's what it sounds like.
It's strange for a master of comics storytelling like Alan Moore to attempt such a difficult task like conveying a song.
