Like Lucas before him, Linklatter clearly relishes that gloss and wields it like an ironic chainsaw. His soundtrack is a raucous, authentic collection of mid-70's radio fare, be it sharp-edged pop (Sweet, the vastly underrated Rick Derringer), nascent metal (Black Sabbath, Deep Purple) and out-and-out hard cheese (Foghat, Black Oak Arkansas). Dazed and Confused is the real sound of 70's teenage America. --Jerry McCulley | | | Product Details: | | | Audio CD Release Date:

 Soundtrack of my youthNov 21, 2005
By T. McCool
"old married guy"
I don't own this CD. I don't have to own it to review it, because this music is the soundtrack of my high school years. I lived this music. I listened to it while cruising the local shopping center indulging in - er - various activities. Half of the bands on this CD I had the privilege of seeing perform live in the 70s. THIS is what FM radio sounded like back then. Every single song on this CD was well known to me and my friends. Yes, even Black Oak Arkansas (hot and nasty!), Nazareth (get Hair of the Dog CD for more), and the Runaways (hot babes!). Oh, and I love the movie too. Party on, dudes!

Some of us do remember the pastAug 21, 2006

"Potamus"
The movie was great so how could the soundtrack be anything less. The characters dressed and acted just like my friends and I did during that time period and certainly listened to the same music. Though I was an adult rather than a student the era was the same. I am so pleased with the soundtrack it never leaves my CD wallet. Anyone who loves the rock of the late 70s and very early 80s will be glad they bought this album. The best artists, terrific songs, a good time will be had by all.

Rock N' Roll Hoochie Koo, IndeedMay 10, 2000
By Adam W. Smith
It really doesn't get much better than this as far as various artist compilations or soundtracks go. There's no real use explaining what the songs sound like because, chances are, if you're checking this album out, you've heard at least most of the songs on here. Most are staples of classic-rock radio (esp. "Tush", "Slow Ride", "Rock and Roll All Night", "Paranoid"). Thanks to this movie, an excellent movie if you haven't seen it, whenever I hear "School's Out" or "Hurricane" (an omission from this soundtrack, most likely legal reasons), I visualize the scene from the movie when they came on. While there are a couple tracks on here that I would have left off (not my call, so I'm not complaining), what's here I can't argue with. Most of the tracks on here are, plain and simple, great and good timey classic rock n' roll. The stuff that's not good-timey (i.e.: "Paranoid", "Stranglehold", "Love Hurts") is still great rock, and, interestingly enough, my second-favorite songs by each of those groups (the #1's are "War Pigs" (Sabbath), "Great White Buffalo" (Nugent), and "Hair Of The Dog" (Nazareth)). Most important about this album is the fact that it's a true soundtrack to the late 70's, all of the songs on here are, more or less, time-appropriate for the movie (the songs that aren't are in the movie anyway, so it all works out). Though I wasn't in high school in 1976, I listened to this stuff (amongst other kinds of music) in high school and still do now, it's timeless. Overall, this soundtrack is my favorite soundtrack out there, and "More Songs from Dazed & Confused" is an essential purchase if you're going to buy this one.

SOLID!!!!Jul 30, 2002
By Jay Crutcher
This is quite possibly one of the best "albums" I have ever heard. I grew up in the 70's and remember when all these songs came out for the first time. They were a rush then, and they are now. Every time period has had their "what were they thinking..." moments, and say what you will about the 70's, but there were some really good things about that time. The music, fantastic "album" covers, custom cars/vans, and yes, I too believe, the girls were never more pretty. Cruising was everything.(What gas crisis?) This "album" and it companion "album" are must haves. There has never been a more creative time in music than this. We live in such a hostile and hateful world now that it makes 'back then' that much more special. The sky was the limit, and even then, you could go beyond that. I truely miss all the good things associated with the 70's. If you also 'lived it' then, buy this "album'(and companion) now. Dust off that lava lamp, get out that old Farrah poster, polish and gas up the car and enjoy the music of better days. It's on The Medicine Label. How perfect. The perfect tonic for what ails you. An excellent reminder of real music and a great 'escape.'

VERY IMPORTANT INDEED, PARTY LOVERS, YOUNG CLASSIC ROCK FANSSep 09, 2005
By wally gator
"the only"
First of all, when I first saw this movie I was about fourteen. I was crazy obsessed with it and watched it (literally) like every day. Still to this day I can recite the whole thing word for word.
Secondly, although I haven't owned this CD in many years I will honestly say it is THE GREATEST cd to put on at a party. These songs truly capture the vibe of the movie into music and will liven up any scene. (The second volume, not so much)
Thirdly, I used to bitch about the absence of "SWEET EMOTION" and "HURRICANE" myself but whatever. I have those albums anyway. I was introduced to a lot of great stuff via this disc that I otherwise may never had known about. TED NUGENT: STRANGLEHOLD, NUMBER ONE EXAMPLE! OH YES THAT SONG ROCKS! It's uncut too!
But Rick Derringers Hoochie Coo, Sweets Fox on the run, THE Runaways cherry bomb and the Black Oak Arkansas track run in my head due to this album.
The only real problem I ever had was "Love Hurts" and a friend and I even went so far as to try to scratch the song off of the disc. ( I think that may be why I don't own it anymore.)
Anyway, it's great stuff that provided me with lots of memories and hopefully will for you too.
EAT MORE POSSUM!
