To make clear, any soundtrack, be it from anime, VGM, and TV/Film soundtracks, are allowed to post. The only other music genres accepted are classical music and j-pop albums.
Now, regarding The Hunger Games (which I cannot wai to see), anyone heard news about the score?
EDIT: Now I see–if the song in this request was on a various artists release then it’s okay. But had it not been on a VA release, it would have been inappropriate…?
The only thing i know is James Newton Howard did the music score and that will have a CD release.

Exactly. In this case the requested song ‘Safe & Sound’, it’s on the VA release.
I’m actually really looking forward to The Hunger Games too, read the book (working on the second one), and the movie looks friggin sweeet! I especially love the marketing tactic of deciding to show virtually NOTHING from the actual games themselves. Now, I dont know alot about the score, not alot is out there, but I do have 10 songs form the movie already, 2 trailer songs, 2 songs (like with lyrics), and then 6 songs that are instrumental (score, if you will) in addition to James Newton Howard’s score coming out on the…26th I think i read? But yeah if you want to get some songs to hold you over until the Various Artist Album comes out on the 20th, and the Score on the 26th, then i suggest you go looking for these songs:

Then, these are the songs that were listed in the Production Notes that are listed as being used in the film, but NOT included on the Soundtrack Album, and obviously not the score since they’re not by James Newton Howard:
These are all available on iTunes, but double check the artists before you buy it, because there are different versions of some of them.
-"War" ~ Hypnotic Brass Ensemble
-"Sediment" ~ Laurie Spiegel
-"A Wasp On Her Abdomen" ~ Chas Smith
-"Three Movements For Orchestra, Mvt. 1" (Listed on iTunes As: "3 Movements: I. Quarter Note = 176-184 -") ~ Kristjan Jarvi & Lower Austrian Tonk�nstler Orchestra
-"Allt Var� Hlj�tt" ~ �lafur Arnalds
There is one more song I didn’t find on iTunes and haven’t tracked it down yet (Though surely it’s just a simple google search away):
-"Farewell" ~ Evgueni Galperine and Mariana Tootsie
Before you ask any questions about the last six, they’re from this list (which is from the Production Notes) and it’s all over a bunch of sites so here’s one of the many sources i got this from:

But other than that i’m afraid I dont know anything about the music for the movie 🙁 Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. I’m eagerly awaiting at least a tracklist from James Newton Howards Score though, I’m sure it’ll at least include "Horn Of Plenty" which is the National Anthem of Panem Written by "Arcade Fire" but done orchestrally for the movie by James Newton Howard. Hope this tiny bit of info helped at least some of you.

Oh hey cool! Well dang it appears that "Deep In The Meadow" (Lullaby) wont be on the score either, :/ well dang that’s kind of disappointing. Maybe they’ll release it later, they did randomly release the Mockingjay call. I also thought this information might come in useful from the Production Notes:

Um…pardon me…so you’ve HEARD James Newton Howard’s score for the Hunger Games?
And wait is that actually "Farewell" or is it called "Katniss hunting"?
By looking at the tracklist i’d say that there’s some possibility it might and up on the score as… "Katniss Afoot"? Idk. And im hoping that they include the lullaby in "Rue’s Farewell" if not i’d find it very strange
