Randall Poster's music supervision: classic or dud?

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0692922/

He's a Hollywood music supervisor which essentially means he looks over movies that are without a score, or in need of a different one, and marries the scenes to pieces of music (and to think I give you such precious insight into showbiz for free, ILM).

His use of folk-rock and classic rock has gone on to influence popular tastes (just how would our coffee houses have evolved in the last ten years had there not been any Wes Anderson soundtracks? That's its own thread btw) but it's starting to wear a bit thin (he just did the soundtrack for "Away We Go," which, imo, should be the last indie movie to ever take place in Quirkyville again - ever)

But - and here's the point of the thread - Looking over his filmography, how do you rate him?

I'm still gonna go with classic. So many movies on here have great music usage or have a great soundtrack. Faves include:

Velvet Goldmine (1998) - The "Needle in the Camel's Eye" opening, the Thom Yorke-aping-Bryan Ferry songs that have names I can't recall, but were cool.

Old School - I never saw the movie but I remember catching part of it on cable. All I remember is that a group of housewives were taking a class on fellatio and sucking carrots while "Hungry Like The Wolf" played. Memorable?

Zoolander (2001) - The "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" scene involving male models? Again, classic beyond classic scene.

Zodiac (2007) - "Easy To Be Hard" soundtracking the first killing.

Rushmore (1998) - Ignore the haters, this is a kickass soundtrack. Better than Velvet Goldmine's? Well that depends on if you're feeling more like David Bowie or Cat Stevens on any given day of the week.

I'm not sure how much influence he had on all of the above movies and their song/artist selection, but let's pretend he had a lot and judge him.

I've always wanted his job so I'm deeply envious, but he does a better job than I ever could. Poster is the best in the business in my mind. He routinely comes up with fantastic music that gives new shape to his movies. I saw Alison Maclean talk at a showing of Jesus' Son where she gave tribute to "Randy" for bringing in song after song she'd never heard or considered - Sweet Pea coloring the opening with a darker edge than she'd anticipated, Satan Is Real for bringing a spiritual heart to the darkness - etc. Really incredible work.

did he choose val kilmer's ringtone in kiss kiss bang bang? that was pretty classic
