John Hughes hypothetically announces tomorrow that he's making a comeback and to expect a movie in the same style as that of his big 1980s teen films. What bands (and songs?) do you imagine making memorable appearances in this film? Assume the soundtrack gives a hard look at new bands and songs and that Hughes' tastes haven't changed much.
I'm not a big Hughes buff (only seen about one or two of his films, actually) but his soundtracks are still memorable for their love of British "indie" *cough* and I thought this would've made for an interesting thread should the informed (and the uninformed, now that I think about) give some ideas.

It's all about where you stick your nose that makes finding things under it so easy.

Just sayin'. I'm a big fan of both Hughes and The O.C., and they're pretty much the same thing for different generations, especially musically. They even have the same "sneaking the semi-underground stuff in under the pop and adult alternative" vibe to them.

No, you make a good point.

Some Kind of Wonderful was definitely his most adventurous soundtrack, with Pete Shelley, Flesh for Lulu, The March Violets and Stephen Duffy all included. I supposed if that were transposed into the modern day, you'd end up with lower-profile bands from labels like Dim Mak, Secretly Canadian and French Kiss (or, more likely, bands from UK labels of the same stature) on the soundtrack.
