Even if it's just something you catch a brief line or two of as a character is flipping through radio stations or leafing through an MP3 playlist, I think it's be neat to have a small clip of the late Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" tucked into the movie somewhere. Kinda like how you are gonna sneak in a "duckies" reference, I think it'd be fun to slip that in there too.
"Ahwwoooo... Werewolves of London...."
"I saw a Werewolf drinkin' a Pina Colada at Trader Vic's... and his hair was perfect..."
"I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand... Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain... He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's... Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein ..."
Hmm... actually, that last snippet would be a nice werewolf in-joke to slip into the film... show a menu or advertisement in a scene somewhere nearby a werewolf, promoting a Chinese restaraunt called Lee Ho Fook's....

Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight
Pop music scores tend to date a film pretty quickly; imagine if Star Wars had disco! I'm also not a fan of a lot of what's popular right now; most of my new music is underground bands and alternative.
If you do have to have rock songs (which is different from a soundtrack that uses electric guitar and drums ambiently), consider the Goth genre--be it older music such as Bauhaus, the Sisters of Mercy, or Joy Division; or newer music such as Abney Park (a big name during the short-lived mp3.com era.) If you need a few sampling hits, check out In Perpetual Motion radio at http://www.ipmradio.com.
But, music topic would be complete without my own recommendations.
The Sisters of Mercy: "This Corrosion" (in fact, the whole Floodland album, half of which was the soundtrack for awhile for my novel.
Type O Negative: "Wolf Moon" (who didn't see that coming?)
Metallica: "Of Wolf and Man" (we all know the lyrics)
The Cure: "Open" (first song off Wish, about being disoriented and wishing one was not still out and about)
Bauhaus: "The Dog's a Vapour" ("There's something in you...")
