Personally, I think the Soundtrack for any movie or TV show is crucial; it can make such a huge impact upon the emotions and the characters them self’s. I wouldn't want some Much Music Top 30 song we heard 100 times a before in such a major scene, it gives away the moment and overall, it's predictable.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mine the odd Coldplay or Muse song, at lease the music has more of a creative usage of lyrics and the alternative bands fit perfectly into Twilight.
Just wouldn't want it to overflow with the same predictable-we-heard-that-singer-and-band-everyday-now ... Vannessa Cartlon and "Time is Running Out" has been suggest just about everybody - it's gotten a bit overheard of in my honest opinion. I would rather hear something new, it wouldn't give away of the story that would be happening. Plus by the time the movie come outs, it more than likely that the popular musicians we hear of a daily bases can get a little bit tired by the time it hit theaters.

The movie will be familiar because we have read the book already, so the thing to make this film pop out would be the use of mostly unknown bands and genres. For example, when I first saw The Crow the visuals grabbed me but not as much as the music of mostly unheard artist. Unheard in the sense of not in the top 40.
