Comment:

Even though the Olympics thrive on the spirit of competition, they're about a lot more than just coming out on top. They serve as a reminder that even in the most war-torn times, nations across the globe can still come together and put their best foot forward as friends on the field of sport. To celebrate this ongoing vision of international harmony, here's where you'll find everything from orchestral works commissioned especially for the Olympics to familiar tunes from the pop, rock, R&B, and country worlds as featured in the Games both past and present. So whether you dial up the heart-on-sleeve Britpop of Coldplay or the club-friendly techno-pop of Moby, you'll be all set to share that special Olympics feeling with the world.
