Nominee: Jon Bon Jovi
When Emilio Estevez first approached Jon Bon Jovi, he asked if Young Guns II could make use of "Wanted Dead or Alive” in the soundtrack, which is in my humble estimation the absolute best Jon Bon Jovi song in the history of the world. Instead, Bon Jovi offered the original song "Blaze of Glory," which made it eligible for this award while simultaneously making the soundtrack far less awesome than it could have been.
