Hero – Chad Kroeger ft. Josey Scott from Spider-Man

The Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies provided some of the strongest comic book movie soundtracks that we can remember, and for that reason they appear on this list twice. With that we have to start at the beginning with Spider-Man, which gave us Chad Kroeger's memorable “Hero” that reached #1 on rock charts, won an MTV Video Music Award, and most powerfully was written specifically for the Spider-Man Soundtrack. Despite the general public's attitude toward Kroeger's band Nickelback, no one can deny how powerful (and emotional) they felt exiting the theater to this song as it played on through the end credits. The song nails what it must feel like to be Peter Parker as Spider-Man for the first time, "And they say that a hero can save us. /
I’m not gonna stand here and wait."
