This musician or band only did the song for a soundtrack, and it never appeared on any other studio album (other than compilations).
Tom Petty's "Walls" and Seether's "Broken" are two that I like.

The Bangles - Get The Girl (only on Austin Powers 2, The Spy Shagged Me Soundtrack)
Very garagey....bought the CD just for it. I wish they had done a lot more stuff like this over the years instead of the Manic/Egyptian/Eternal Lame crap.

Does "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" count?
I agree with "A View To A Kill". The other 80's soundtrack song that pops into my mind is "On The Dark Side".
I also liked the two Smashing Pumpkins "Batman & Robin" songs.

(I never bought the CD back then because I thought it was crap, and it now goes over $100) I'm Not There (the song) may count too.....the movie soundtrack was it's 1st official release (I believe)

For me, the all-time champ here is "Call Me" by Blondie, which Walter mentioned on his most excellent list. I like a lot of those IP mentioned, too, as well as most Bond themes and "FM." Some additional soundtrack songs I consider favorites are: Be There - Pointer Sisters Shakedown - Bob Seger The Best Man in the World - Ann Wilson Romance - Paul Carrack & Terri Nunn If You Ever Did Believe - Stevie Nicks & Sheryl Crow Old Habits Die Hard - Mick Jagger, Sheryl Crow and Dave Stewart To Live & Die in L.A. - Wang Chung It's Probably Me - Sting & Eric Clapton Never Be You - Rosanne Cash Johnny & Mary - Tina Turner So Far So Good - Sheena Easton Dreams to Dream - Linda Ronstadt The Crying Game - Boy George Never Surrender - Don Felder I Won't Say I'm in Love - Belinda Carlisle Underground - David Bowie Sharpshooter - Laura Branigan Bad Love - Cher In All the Right Places - Lisa Stansfield (the arrangement of the original version from "Indecent Proposal" buries the rerecorded version that appears on "So Natural")

"Respect the Wind" on the Twister soundtrack - credited to the Van Halen bros. This instrumental tune runs under the end credits. Not a huge Eddie fan but some great playing here.
