Columbia must have realized that Spider-Man was never as macho as Chad Kroeger's ''Hero,'' the chest-pounding anthem for the first Spidey installment. This time around on ''Spider-Man 2'' Soundtrack, Dashboard Confessional's yearning single ''Vindicated'' leads a solid batch of previously unreleased tracks from today's hottest emo acts. Choice cut for Peter Parker wannabes: Yellowcard's knotty ''Gifts and Curses.''
