Music Sets Moods and Tone

Often when when people think of film scores and soundtracks, they think of the work of John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and Danny Elfman.  However, popular music can also drive the tone of a film.  In both Empire Records and 10 Things I Hate About You music plays an integral part in setting both the tone and mood of the film.  This phenomenon is not limited to these films, however.  Your task is to use these two films - as well as any other that we have viewed - and discuss how popular music and the score used throughout the films helped to set the mood and tone of the pieces.  

Remember that you need to use at least three hundred words and good writing conventions to support your thoughts.  Again, while the focus is on the popular music in these films, feel free to utilize other films too.
