Yup. Whatever gene other people have that permits them to enjoy Joan Baez ... I am missing.
That's not the issue. I'm not self-absorbed enough to think that a soundtrack is bad because I don't like the artist in question. (anyway, I don't dislike Joan Baez)
It's the marrying of her style of music to a futuristic film set in outer space. Her soft/folk rock does not work in that setting, to put it mildly. It would be like the very first appearance of Darth Vader early in Star Wars... and Gordon Lightfoot starts singing.

Into the Wild is the one movie I literally cannot watch due to absolutely hating Eddie Vedder.
I am definitely the type who prefers to have music made for movies, but ItW didn’t do it for me. John Williams is fantastic and I feel like his soundtracks usually enhance the movie.

Georgy Girl. written by Tom Springfield. Lyrics by Jim Dale. Sung by The Seekers.
The three verses described the movie.
I remember the tune . Don't remember who was my date . Didn't understand the movies' theme (early teen, male).
I used to teach High School English and used CDs of movie soundtracks for background when students were doing writing assignments—I found them helpful to illustrate the connection between tone and language…
CDs? I used to have a shelf in my record store for soundtracks on vinyl.
CDs? hmmmff. Might as well eat candy made from wax. (<---that actually existed btw)
Well now, musicals are a whole different genre for integrating music with the film - the music IS the point, and is not complementing the drama/comedy plot as a secondary element. I think that's a different discussion.

I remember the wax candies. I’d put a string in mouth withe the candy, pull out a book of matches ( remember those things) and then have my ‘guiding light’
