Free Music Notes for Dazed And Confused (1993 Film)
Free Music Review: Soundtrack to one of the greatest movies ever!
Hit: 5 Stars
After my first viewing of "Dazed" at the age of 15, I became absolutely obsessed with the film, and soon bought the movie on DVD. I've watched it so many times since, I've lost count, and it quickly became one of my favorite movies of all time. It has awesome dialogue (Slater's story of how George Washington was in a cult who were into aliens is CLASSIC!), hilarious scenes (I love the "trash cans meet mailboxes" scene, cracks me up every time), great characters (Don Dawson, Wooderson, Slater, Pink), excellent acting (by all of the cast), and most of all, KICK A** MUSIC! This was one of those rare films where the soundtrack CD sales out performed the movies box office sales, but the movie is still great!
Tons of great songs on this soundtrack, but for me, the standouts are "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath, "Strangehold" by Ted Nugent (features an awesome guitar riff) and "Slow Ride" by Foghat, three hard rock classics. Unfortunately, the film's opening track, "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith, and Bob Dylan's "Hurricane" are nowhere to be found on either of the film's soundtracks. If you like this soundtrack, check out it's "sequel", Even More Dazed and Confused.
Free Music Review: Soundtrack of my youth
Hit: 5 Stars
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!Free Music Review: VERY IMPORTANT INDEED, PARTY LOVERS, YOUNG CLASSIC ROCK FANS

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!

As of right now, Dazed and Confused is my favorite movie. It's got great cars (THE JUDGE!), great characters (WOODERSON!), and great lines ("I love them redheads!"). But also, it's got great '70s music... that's where this soundtrack comes in. It just might be the best movie soundtrack out there... a collection of great '70s rock 'n' roll! Here's a track-by-track analysis:
1. RICK DERRINGER - ROCK AND ROLL, HOOTCHIE KOO: When I first saw the title, I was put off by it ("Hootchie Koo"?), but now it's actually my favorite song on here! It's just catchy with a good, funky beat and some good guitar work. 10/10
2. FOGHAT - SLOW RIDE: Love it. This is actually a big part of why I bought this CD... is there anyone out there who HASN'T heard this song? The perfect song to cruise to! Also, you should know that this is the short version of the song... the original is about 8-9 minutes long. Still, though... great stuff. 9/10 (took off 1 point for being the short version)
3. ALICE COOPER - SCHOOL'S OUT: Gotta love the Coop! This is the ultimate last day of school anthem. You can't help but get excited at the rebellious lyrics and tone. 10/10
4. BLACK OAK ARKANSAS - JIM DANDY: The only song on here I do not like. What were they thinking, putting this on here? They should've replaced it with "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith or "Hurricane" by Bob Dylan (both in the movie, neither on either soundtrack). Oh well. 1/10 (1 point because it's still more standable than Chingy)
5. ZZ TOP - TUSH: Another great one. Short but sweet, one of ZZ Top's earliest hits. You'll be singin' along in no time... 10/10
6. NAZARETH - LOVE HURTS: Not one I was especially seeking, but still a good ballad with relatable lyrics about being heartbroken. 8/10
7. TED NUGENT - STRANGLEHOLD: Oh yes, it's the Nuge... good song, kind of setting the stage for late '70s/early 80's rock (REAL rock, not Poison or the like). 9/10
8. THE RUNAWAYS - CHERRY BOMB: At first I didn't like it, but now I do. "Hello daddy, hello mom, I'm a..... CHERRY BOMB!" Kind of punkish. 8.5/10
9. SWEET - FOX ON THE RUN: Doesn't sound too much like "Ballroom Blitz", but still a good foot-stomper. 8/10
10. WAR - LOW RIDER: YES! Who hasn't heard this one? "All, my, friends, know the low rider!" One for your cruise nights... 10/10
11. LYNYRD SKYNYRD - TUESDAY'S GONE: Good southern rock ballad. RIP Ronnie Van Zant. 9/10
12. DEEP PURPLE - HIGHWAY STAR: Not bad, not bad... not as good as "Smoke On The Water" though. 7/10
13. KISS - ROCK AND ROLL ALL NIGHT: If you've never heard this one before... go back to under the rock, please. I'm not a huge KISS fan, but this one's catchy, with a familiar shout-along chorus. 8/10
14. BLACK SABBATH - PARANOID: Love this one. See also my review for Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" album for further analysis. 10/10
Anyway, if you like classic rock, or you love the movie, pick this one up. It's a great CD to slap "New York Minute" in the face with!
