So you're a band that's been together for awhile. Say you're Godsmack, you've been around since 1995, making music. But your big breakout hit doesn't arrive until 2002 when you're attached to the soundtrack of the greatest The Rock/Michael Clark Duncan team-up.
Or, say, you're Evanescence, which got together in 1995 making moody jams, but your big breakout hits don't arrive until Ben Affleck squeezes into tight red leather.
Hell, maybe you're pretty talented already, a great singer, and you got acclaim with your debut album in 1991, and even got a hit single in 1994, but for some reason that hit single really exploded in popularity a year later with more Robin love power.
The more I thought about it, there's so many artists out there that got really big (or bigger) after being attached to movies that, admittedly, aren't that good or popular. They may not even be bad films, but for some reason the artists on their soundtracks were the real winners.
Can you think of any other examples?
