Back to Best Soundtracks of 2011

4. 'The Muppets'

This year's 'Green Album' -- a record of Muppet cover songs by groups like Weezer and the All-American Rejects -- was terrific. But the official 'Muppets' soundtrack was what really stole the show. The album includes the insanely catchy opening tune, 'Life's a Happy Song,' as well as a rendition of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' by the Muppets Barbershop Quartet. And don't forget everyone's favorite: 'Rainbow Connection,' a song that will make even the toughest person curl up into a ball and cry.
