Free Music Notes for Footloose (1984 Film)
Free Music Review: WOWWEE!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is wonderful. Sure does take me back to a gentler, stress free time in my life. I was in my mid 20s in the 80s but loved this music. I ordered this one along with Dirty Dancing and Flashdance because it was package deal I just couldn't ignore. I couldn't be happier. With the exception of needing a pile driver to open the darn sealing tape on the top of each jewel case (whew!), these are in excellent condition, sound amazing, and I can't stop singing along (but I can't understand why the room clears when I begin to sing...) Even peeling potatoes for supper I found myself clumsily dropping stuff into the sink because I couldn't keep my feet from dancing around the kitchen. Even one of the dogs got so excited feeding off my newfound energy and lifted spirits that he was prancing in circles along with me. Now THAT takes some doing seeing as how he is 12 years old. All 3 of these CDs are big hits in this household and I am so happy I took advantage of the 3fer offer. Funny, after all these years, I STILL can't decipher all the words to Flashdance's "Going on a Manhunt"...Free Music Review: The perfect 80's soundtrack!

Wow, does this music bring back great memories! I loved the movie then and I love it now...what really makes it sparkle is the music that accompanies it. The soundtrack king of the 80's, Kenny Loggins is at his best on the title track, "Footloose," and almost tops it on "I'm Free." Throw in a little Deniece Williams, Bonnie Tyler, Sammy Hagar, and Shalamar, and you have a recipe for 80's greatness! The 2 ballads "Almost Paradise" by Mike Reno of Loverboy and Ann Wilson of Heart, and "Waiting For A Girl Like You" by Foreigner took me back to the gym during school dances when I was a total wallflower and watched the boys I had crushes on dancing with someone else <<sigh>>. The 4 bonus tracks don't hurt either! I had forgotten about the glam rock classic "Bang Your Head" by Quiet Riot and had a little chuckle when it started playing. Those were the days! If you are an 80's lover like me, then do yourself a favor and indulge yourself in this CD - trust me you won't regret it.Free Music Review: An album featuring Footloose dudes and babes!
Hit: 5 Stars
I once had an LP copy and I now have a CD copy,which is the original track line-up,the first 9 tracks. The title track was a major hit for Kenny Loggins who also performs I'M FREE(HEAVEN HELPS THE MAN). LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BOY was a hit for Deniece Williams. Williams had a hit with Johnny Mathis entitled TOO MUCH,TOO LITTLE,TOO LATE. ALMOST PARADISE,the love theme,is a blend of Loverboy and Heart,performed by the bands' respective frontmen,Mike Reno and Ann Wilson. HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO was another hit for Bonnie Tyler who had two previous hits,IT'S A HEARTACHE and TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART. DANCING IN THE SHEETS was a hit for Shalamar who had a hit in '79 entitled THE SECOND TIME AROUND. SOMEBODY'S EYES was Karla Bonoff's second hit,her first being PERSONALLY in '82. Pre-Van Halen Sammy Hagar performs THE GIRL GETS AROUND. NEVER,performed by Moving Pictures is an OK tune. Unbelievably,tracks 1-7 were all hits. Another album sharing that distinction(7 of 9 tracks) is Michael Jackson's THRILLER album.Free Music Review: 5 Stars
I LOVED this movie and I also LOVED the soundtrack with a purple passion (especially Almost Paradise & The Girl Gets Around with the former being by Ann Wilson and M.Reno , while the later was by Sammy Hagar). I loved Kevin Bacon. I know in real life he a nice guy. I know he's married and has two kids from what Ive read in magazines. And, in this movie I thought he was a totally macho to say the least. He way succeeded in acting like a hard ass/bad ass through out the movie and you could see it. Especially the scene in the movie where he is taking a drag of his cigarette and cocking his head back taking a swig of his booze while running his fingers through his hair with the song Footloose blasting. You could tell by the look on his face that he is a total renegade who likes the taste of booze. This movie and soundtrack is awesome and it ROCKED. Want to watch a feminine dance movie from the 80's???? I have a two sylible word - FLASHDANCE!!!!!!!!! I LOVED THIS MOVIE.Free Music Review: Mediocre Film, Great Soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
This is probably one of the most overrated films of the 80s. The concept of high school students fighting for the right to dance in a small, ultra-conservative town is cheesy, to say the least. However, the soundtrack is another story. This compilation has some of the most significant pop hits of the 80s. Songs like "Footloose," "Let's Hear it For the Boy," "Almost Paradise," "Holding Out For a Hero," "Waiting For a Girl Like You," and "Hurts So Good" are some of the greatest pop songs ever recorded. And, even though I'm not a heavy metal fan, Quiet Riot's contribution of "Bang Your Head" would definitely rank as one of the greatest metal hits of all time. For anybody who went through junior high and high school during the 80s, as I did, or just love 80s music, this is an essential addition to your music collection. It's a wonderful compilation of fun, danceable hits.
