Overview
Spider-Man 2: Music From and Inspired By brings together a thrilling collection of rock, alternative, and orchestral tracks inspired by Sam Raimi’s 2004 blockbuster film Spider-Man 2, starring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, and Alfred Molina.
This dynamic soundtrack captures the emotional and heroic essence of the film, from Dashboard Confessional’s soaring anthem “Vindicated” to Danny Elfman’s powerful orchestral suites. With a lineup that includes Train, Hoobastank, Maroon 5, Yellowcard, and Switchfoot, the album balances introspective lyrics with high-energy rock, embodying the dual life of Peter Parker — torn between love, duty, and destiny.
