Few films have crossed into cultural mythology the way the Coen Brothers' 1998 noir comedy has. Jeff Bridges' "The Dude" became a generational icon, spawning annual Lebowski Fests and a vocabulary all his own. The soundtrack matched that legacy beat for beat: Bob Dylan's "The Man in Me" drifting over the opening credits, Kenny Rogers and the First Edition's tripped-out "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" scoring a Busby Berkeley fever dream, and the Gypsy Kings' flamenco demolition of "Hotel California" playing as John Turturro licks his bowling ball. It is a cult classic in its own right, and one of the more distinctive soundtrack LPs of its era.
